💭 Instead of asking kids 'Bade hoke kya banna hai?' we should be asking them 'Bade hoke kya banana hai?'. We as a society need to idolise 'building' instead of 'becoming'.

Avoid dating people who are poor. Whatever little I've seen, lack of money and privilege reflects in people's adult life. Not their fault that they are victims of circumstances but it's a financial struggle you can avoid.
