Of course, we'd tackle love. HT Brunch's super-popular supercut series has, thus far, offered advice on adulting, money, careers, managing time and making it big. How could we leave out the biggest emotion?
We asked 30 people what they wished they knew about love when they were younger. They went all out! How to find love and keep it. When to say "I Love You". Loving your sibling, parent and judgy second cousin. Holding on to that circle of besties that's drifting apart. Staying in touch and knowing when to move on. No spoilers. Here's a guide to loving and living better.
Nirav Mehta, 33, founder of Broke Bibliophiles Bombay book club. I wish I had known the value of committing to friendships for the long haul rather than expecting quick turnarounds. Cherish the friendships that let you pick up where you left off, no matter how long it's been.
Vandana Jagwani, 32, founder of jewellery brand Vandals. The relationships you have when you're young will endure only when you forgive people without waiting for them to apologise. My best friend is my father, and we are like Tom and Jerry. We upset each other a lot. But, we make up or make changes.
Salomi Shah, 31, founder, Mozaati jewellery. Be mindful, early on, of relationships that drain your energy. If someone isn't supportive of your goals, that's a major red flag. Also, pay attention to how conflicts are handled-if there's no respect or an unwillingness to compromise, even an old friendship won't have a future.
