You are older than you think! Making you think many things happened “recently” is a trick played by your sub-conscious to make you think you are young and kicking. Inspired by XKCD’s Epic diagram that makes people think they are old based on movie release dates, and then 40 things that make you feel old, I present my contribution – with more of Indian stuff thrown in. Enjoy, feel old and miserable! So,(Note: Important information at the end.)

It’s not plagiarizing when he cited the source, where exactly does it say that he wrote it? He’s actually helping your blog getting more traffic.
Loved it. But had to do a 150% magnification on my 19″ screen to read this ’cause my eyesight just ain’t what it used to be. (LOL)
Is this going to become a recurring theme? I saw this same kind of post a few weeks ago on this very site.
