the false promise

The earliest i remember is in summer holidays after 2nd grade. I was to try for a new better school. So... "Bas abhi thoda padh lo admission ho jaye fir toh koi tension hi nahi". maine mani
then came 10th "10th aa gaya hai. Is saal sab bhool ke padho... fir koi tension nahi". Maine wo bhi mani
10th ke baad gaye kota " Do saal ka vanwas hai mehnat karke nikal do, fir to life set"
Maine wo bhi mani
IIT main ghuse "4 saal acche grades lana, after all last 4 years of student life"
Maine wo bhi mani
IIT 4th year "Placements ko seriously le lo, job acchi lag jaye to sab set"
MAIN WO BHI MANI
5-6 months into the job "Thoda kaam pe concentrate karo back office se bahar nikalna hai ki hai"
Bas.... it took me so many years to realize.... IT IS NEVERENDING..... isiliye ab main NAHI mani


PS: These are not statements of what anyone told me but rather my view of the situation in front of me at different stages in life
