Is There a Pathway to a Good Life?

I don't get the sense that you were raised with sort of the stereotypical Indian child narrative. My parents really didn't have much of a choice because in the time they grew up in and probably very much similar to your parents, like their sort of outcomes in life were fairly binary. It was either poverty or stability. So here all these years later, it seems like my interests are fairly philosophical. I've become exactly the person my parents would hope for, but through a very zig-zagging course.
