We live in strange times – an ocean was on fire, billionaires are shooting themselves into space & there
\nis a virus that mutates itself biannually and forces the world to shut down again and again. As earthlings,
\nour actions from the past and present have put us in a bit of a stupor. However, the progress of the
\nhuman race is measured not just by our understanding of the limits of science, technology and human
\nbodies. Throughout the pandemic, we have heard stories from around the world of people coming
\ntogether to help their communities, taking extraordinary measures to go beyond the call of duty, even
\nfalling in love without a single physical interaction or at best at a distance of 6 feet, behind morbid
\nmasks. These are prime examples of intellectual progress – of adaptation, empathy, kindness and the
\nrecognition to go beyond our pre-conditioned prejudices to make life better for others and ourselves in
\nwhatever way we can.<\/p>\n

To cut a long story short – we are capable of change. We evolve. The evolution in our society, too, has
\nbeen gradual but noteworthy. There is a definite shift in mindset about education, financial
\nindependence, working in off-beat fields and even love and relationships. We see more and more
\nparents encouraging their children, <\/i>not just sons, <\/i>to pursue their dreams, study whatever they wish and
\nexplore the world around them. The earlier framework of studying such and such subjects, marrying at a
\ncertain age, having x no. of children etc., is slowly becoming redundant.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The entire concept of taking charge of one’s life and keeping one’s interests<\/strong><\/h5>\n
first and foremost is no longer considered selfish.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

An interesting off-shoot of this line of thought is that more and more people are placing marriage and
\ngetting into serious long term relationships further on the number line of their lives. What is heartening
\nto see, though, is that there are enough and more parents who aren’t pushing their children to ‘settle
\ndown’. They understand the need to find the right partner and get into a marriage that will last a lifetime
\nrather than settle for people who aren’t right because the proverbial clock is ticking by.<\/p>\n

Life throws various curveballs at you. One could be ‘late’ in the game for several reasons<\/p>\n
