I get what he's trying to say, but the rant is far too sophomoric. > These relatives are probably the ones whose kids would have done “nothing” in their lives

The point could have been made without insulting their kids.
> One of my ex girlfriend had started talking about marriage barely when we had graduated ... Of course, she’s happily married and I, having failed 2 startups in the past, am still building another startup! (I hope this post reaches you, lady!)
> In another relationship, [my girlfriend] asked “Abhinav, hum ghar kab lenge?” [Abhinav, when will we buy a home?] That day itself I knew – she wasn’t the one! No wonder that relationship didn’t last long.(I am quite sure you’re reading this!)
Nothing classier than getting on an internet soapbox to tell your exes they were wrong.
> one such highly respected family member told me to look for a career in animation, back in 2007-08. Recently, I met him at another family gathering a few months back and he said “tum animation me kuch kyu nahi try karte?” [Why don't you try something in animation?] I was like…dude? You are still the same! Your thoughts are still stuck where they were 4-5 years back!
The author has, as of that moment, been involved in two failed startups and is working on the third. The other guy, doubting the author's ability to win the startup lottery, helpfully suggests a career in a rapidly-growing industry.
Author's response: Make fun of him for suggesting the same industry twice. Wat.
- prawks 13y agoAgreed, I'm disappointed this made the front page. It's more or less a rant on people with different ideas than the author. > graduated from some (worthless) A league institution in India and landed a fat paying job. And believe me these are absolutely good for nothing folks. If you are a startup guy, you already know that, don’t you ;) I stopped reading after that, it reads like a YouTube comment.
