Because she trusts I won’t do anything too wild or get in trouble.

Makes me feel I’m not living life on edge no more.

I'm fairly certain in my case though she has given up all hope. Shame really.

Her only wish now is that I don't marry outside my community. That would def kick me outta my home for good.
 
When you realize it's been more than two decades since Kuchh Kuchh hota hai was released.
 
When you Keep seeing the Police, Pilots Doctors etc all look like kids and you keep mentioning it to your OH.
 
Fortnite (Halo was my thing) and K-Pop (I mean I liked Azumi/Aya ueto back in the day, but damn K-pop everywhere these days).
 
When you realize that the kids entering university this year weren't even born when you started.
 
Oh, and when you consider getting an MBA, and then realize that your eldest will start university in five years' time, so you really can't afford spending the money for the MBA.
 
I could play football (soccer) during sports period while fasting in Karachi heat and not have any problems.

For what its worth, this is officially the first year where my statement holds true. Last year, the kids entering university had actually been born when I started university.
 
Seeing Pakistani cricketers born in 2000 like Shaheen Afridi.

People born after 9/11.
 
Some high school friends have kids now
 
When you realize there’s a grey hair in your beard but it’s actually copper so its all good.
 
I doubt anybody can really answer this on PP.
65+ is old.
30-50 are like your prime years as a human. Most people here are either that age, or younger.

The English have their idioms/phrases, I remember my uncles when they went to school (on my visit to homeland)saying that phrases like aik shikar, do theer is kill two birds with one stone etc

Just as an aside, each idiom has an opposite, look before you leap is balanced by fortune favours the brave, there's loads.

Anyways back to topic at hand, the English have this phrase for getting older, 'The police get young and younger', the urban dictionary version of this is 'The drug dealers keep on getting younger and younger.

I envy you young ppl, got your whole lives ahead of you, don't rush there are plenty of days in an average life, it's ok, better even being a katchwa than the hare.

Life I suspect is like school holidays when one is in school, the first days of summer holiday you think it's aeons before you have to go back, but on the last day, you look back and think where did those six weeks go.

Best advice o can give to the young among you, look after your feet, but good fitting shoes, you look after your feet, they will look after you. Trust.

Second, buy a really good mattress, really good, best investment for the long run, you look after your back, it will look after you, if you in average wage, spend at least half a months wage on mattress.

Of course I could say wrap up warm, it'll hurt you when older but youth is youth.

And tell your younger siblings never be lazy and not go toilet when you need per, don't hold it in, go.

For more advice, tune in tomorrow.
 
I used to get a bit annoyed when people Said “ oh You have grown up”. Well yeah its been 10 years what did you expect.
Now i have seen small kids grown up and going to university. I’m thinking the same “ they have grown up”

Solid advice. Appreciate it.

Here is a video that scientifically explains: why of time passing fast as one gets older:

 
Been realizing lately how much parents have sacrificed for me. I took it for granted my entire life but realization has suddenly hit me in the face, “shoot I would be nothing without them!”

Been able to finally feel the weight of responsibility rather than pleasure of adult life.
 
When the kids whom you picked up and played are now Moms and Dads themselves. Nothing makes you feel older than that.

Secondly when your Son talks about girls. My Son is only 8, but he sometimes talks to his friends about crushes :)) :facepalm:
 
My stomach and abdominal. Have just bought a machine for that reason:vk

I don't like it how older people envy young people and wish they were young again. It makes me a bit hopeless that I am in my best years now, and life will only get worse. Which is not the case, I will only get better iA.

I have never felt better, in mind and body, mind because I'm older and i guess more knowlegable than when young, ( capacity to learn new things notwithstanding), body because there is no pressure to have muscles, at my age, just shape and watch belly fat, you could get away with belly fat if you still have full head of hair, if you go bald, you better have a trim middle. The only men to get away with both belly and no hair are those with money and a phat whip. I've got two outta 3, lol.

Forgot to mention why older people envy or at least me, is simply because you gonna so much longer still, statistically at least. Plus the young have energy. Otherwise everyone is on their journey, it's long, so stock up well and learn skills as you go along.
 
A lot of my friends have lost hair. That makes me feel old, despite the fact that I have nice silky hair. :afridi

lmaoo Pakistanis have a bad habit of doing that and it isn't based off how you look or your age.

I remember visiting Pakistan when I was 16 and looked younger like maybe 14 but taller and this little kid who couldn't be more than 8 called me "uncle" maybe cause he didn't know any other way to address me :))
