Having Said That...

“My Friends Called It ‘Settling’ and I Started Believing Them”
Situation
Sanjay studied commerce near Bhubaneswar. He got a stable entry job in an accounting firm. Friends were doing “startup” things—Instagram brands, reselling, random apps. They kept teasing him: “You’ll become uncle type.” His father said, “Let them tease. You build.” Sanjay smiled in front of father, but in front of friends he felt embarrassed.
Thought Bubble
Why does stability feel like shame at this age? Since when did being responsible become uncool?
Having Said That…
He joined the firm. First year was boring. Second year, he started understanding money and systems. Friends’ startups came and went like seasonal fever. Sanjay’s confidence came slowly, but it stayed.
