This year gave us a lot of highs and lows. From breakups, office romances, tinder dates, relationship red flags to sheer funny moments in bed, the millennial life was a rollercoaster ride. There has been a lot going on in the connections we make on a daily basis. We looked at all kinds of relationships and got quite a few insights.? ?
Here are some gems: "My mom caught me using Tinder and said, 'Do you really think you can find a partner on Tinder? Human interaction is the actual way."
"'Pant, shirt pehen kar jaya kar. This is how women will notice you.' Thanks, mom, that was much-needed advice."??

"Mann sa nahi lag raha iss job main." "I think I'm underpaid." "My manager is very tough on me." These were the most used excuses this year for those who hopped jobs. Millennials are aware of their skills. They see their potential. As smart as they are they know how companies today focus on their own agendas rather than considering society in general. And this generation is in love with itself.

If it is fake, we can spot it. Millennials can spot fake news and make sure they are not passing it on. Not just woke, millennials are responsible too.

This generation understands the concept of ideology and the differences around and is ready to accept it. And family is a priority for them. "I am not always wasting my time on my phone. I am working on it 80 per cent of the time. There are loads of things I can do on my phone other than chatting with someone for hours."??

Millennials don't like to be constrained but paired with the right technology and some amount of flexibility transforms them into powerhouses of productivity. Don't just take our word for it, big technology companies believe this to be true, including senior executives, like Google's Diane Chaleff.??

Millennials understand how plastic pollution is choking the environment and they're willing to save it at all costs. For instance, millennials in London are making changes in their everyday life by ordering glass bottles of milk instead of plastic.?

They are scared of endless choices. They are scared of not being able to make a decision.?
"What if I remain this anxious all my life?"From not earning enough to working on the weekends, they have their share of fears but what they are doing right is acknowledging that fear. And that is half the battle won.?
They wake up every morning and deal with the world that'll never stop challenging them, one step at a time. And that's brave.?

The idea of a big, fat Indian wedding is slowly fading. Millennials are now cashing in on the whole waste-free movement. From going paperless to having a personalised website, coupling technology with saving money is what today's millennials are leaning on.?

It is often said that millennials are wasting or spending more money than they are earning but do you they are also making many independent choices that you are unaware of? They are anything but frivolous when it comes to money.?
According to a report from Morgan Stanley, released in May 2019, millennials are redefining India¡¯s financial success story. People in this age group make up 46 per cent of India¡¯s workforce and contribute 70 per cent to the national household income, which allows them to play a greater role in shaping the economy's growth.
