In three months from now, I will turn 24 and it is freaking the hell out of me. As much as I force myself to think that it will be just another year for me, I know that it is far from true. I am sure that turning 24 is a big deal everywhere, but the country I am in has made it all the more difficult for me. Before this starts sounding like a rant, let me tell you why turning 24 for me, a woman living in India, is not easy:

25. I don't understand a thing about taxes and hate to part with some of my salary every month because of this.


26. I can't depend on my parents for money anymore.


27. I still can't decide whether I should go with white and golden or blue and black.


28. I am nowhere close to 'the plan.'
