So you want to be a painter? A poet? You want to love that boy from the other caste? You want to quit your safe bank job and open a dabba service? Don’t ask your parents first. Ask me. Because I will tell you the truth: The world will crush you if you let it. But you know what crushes faster? Regret.

Want me to adjust the tone (more comedic, more tragic, more specific to a region like Tamil, Bengali, or Gujarati aunt)? Just say the word.
