10 things to remember 10 years from now

One -
"You can't fight biology,"
Try. The behaviourists will smile in their graves.

Two -
If you still underestimate yourself
so you're surprised when
you perform better than nothing,
stop:
raise the damn bar.

Three -
Powdery matte lipsticks
darker than your skin
look good on you,
and put your hair in a bun
without looking into a mirror;
always turns out well.

Four -
Fucking swear whenever the hell you want-
just make sure you don't get caught
at the wrong time.

Five -
You scored an E
in Indian Economy
twice
in SYBA, 2016-17.
Don't give your child crap about marks.

Six -
You also scored an O
in Psychology
twice
in the same year.
Teach your child that good marks never hurt anybody.

Seven -
When in doubt
play Beethoven's Symphony 9 on the Sarod.

Eight -
You're capable of single-handedly
bringing down a place
with your glare alone
but use your words and your voice,
they're much less ambiguous.

Nine -
Your first alarm tone
in your first ever phone
was Kesha's Tik Tok.
I just added that to embarrass you.

Ten -
A 20-year-old is writing this;
don't let that invalidate a thing.
