Not if you asked him:
Guilty as a son for living in a nuclear setup, away from parents when they need him
Stressed at work with rising performance demands
Stressed by the ever-rising benchmarks of success in the society, always behind in the race
Harassed by the changing gender power balance reflecting in his relationship with wife
Powerless in his relationship with his kids as they grow more equal & judgmental, faster
Unfulfilled being just the family ‘ATM’, seeking emotional engagement
From the relatively privileged & pampered upbringing being a male child, life turns around dramatically for him post marriage & fatherhood.
Not surprising, #TheFamilyMan series shows most of this but also provides him a fantastical outlet
The man as a hero, saving the world
The average, sarkari, middle-class uncleji as the new James Bond, an idea that was waiting to happen 😁
