18 Millennial Obsessions That Actually Make Sense
Say what you want about millennials, but if loyalty were a generation, it'd be them. Loyal to their sitcoms. Loyal to their fonts. Loyal to their coffee orders. While the rest of us are in our villain era, trying matcha for the first time and pretending we like oat milk, millennials are out here rewatching F.R.I.E.N.D.S for the 19th time. And you know what? Power to them. Here are 18 things millennials absolutely refuse to let go of, and TBH, we kind of get the obsession: 1. Owning way too many mugs with quotes. Does anyone need 17 ceramic mugs that say 'But First, Coffee' or 'You Got This'? No. Do millennials have them anyway? Absolutely. Bonus points if one of them is chipped but too sentimental to throw away. 2. Still using Facebook (mostly to stalk people). They'll swear they don't use it, but somehow know when their college crush got married. If anyone is keeping Facebook alive, it's millennials and aunties with candy crush invites. 3. Their undying love for sitcoms from the 90s and 2000s. Friends. The Office. How I Met Your Mother. Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. These shows are basically emotional support animals at this point. 4. Refusing to delete old emails "just in case". They have Gmail folders from 2008 labelled "Important," "Very Important," and "Don't Delete Ever." That OTP from 2017? Still there. 5. Saying 'I'm a 90s kid' at every opportunity. They were born in '91 but still somehow claim to remember Shaktimaan, Mario, Boogie Woogie, and Phantom cigarettes with scary clarity. 6. Getting way too excited about stationery. Millennials walk into a stationery store and black out. Next thing they know, they're holding six pens they don't need and three notebooks they'll never write in. 7. Living for the golden era of Youtube and OG creators. Before TikTok dances and 15-second reels, there was a time of full-length sketches, 'Draw My Life' videos, and watching Lilly Singh, Jenna Marbles, and Tanmay Bhat on loop. 8. Having a borderline spiritual attachment to their college laptop. It's slow. It overheats. The 'R' key doesn't work. But they won't replace it until it actually catches fire. 9. Still hoarding old phone boxes 'just in case'. Raise your hand if there's an iPhone 4 box under your bed and you have no idea why you kept it. 10. Skinny jeans that cut off circulation but spark joy. You can pry them out of their cold, denim-clad legs. Baggy jeans may be trending, but millennials still believe that the best way to feel confident is to wear jeans that feel like second skin and make your legs look 'snatched' (even if they don't say snatched). 11. Keeping screenshots of food they'll never cook. Their gallery is 70% pasta recipes, 20% dalgona coffee tutorials, and 10% reminders that they're not actually going to try any of them. 12. Taking deep pride in knowing movie dialogues word-for-word. Whether it's Mean Girls, Hera Pheri, or Rang De Basanti, they will quote it mid-conversation like it's Shakespeare. 13. Keeping every earphone they've ever owned in a tangled ball of doom. They know only one pair works. They don't know which. But the rest are there, gathering dust like a sad little museum. 14. Still thinking they'll go back to their first blog one day. It's abandoned. It has three entries. The last one was in 2015 and titled 'Quick life update!' But they swear they'll revive it. 15. Never really recovering from the flip phone era. They still dream of hanging up dramatically by slamming the phone shut. iPhones ruined that mic-drop moment. 16. Using their laptop for 'big', serious purchases, and their phone for everything else. Flight ticket? Laptop. New fridge? Laptop. But for ordering ₹270 worth of momos on Swiggy, it's always the phone. It's a trust thing. Big money needs a big screen. 17. Downloading e-books and never reading them, but feeling oddly accomplished. They're not reading it now. Or next month. But just having it on their Kindle or Google Drive feels intellectual. 18. Side parts like their life depends on it. Try telling a millennial to do a middle part. Watch them pause. Watch their soul leave their body. They've been side-parting since their first Facebook DP in 2009 and they're not changing now. Call it comfort, call it denial, or just call it vibes, millennials aren't letting go of these things anytime soon. And honestly? Who can blame them? They survived dramatic soap operas, and downloading full movies in 3GP format. If holding on to their playlists, and emotional attachments to Yahoo Mail gives them peace in this chaotic world, maybe we should all just let them have it.

Ananya Panday opens up to Lilly Singh about being skinny-shamed, admits to Bollywood's unrealistic beauty standards
Ananya Panday isn't shying away from calling out things as they are. In an honest, sit-down chat with Lilly Singh on the latter's podcast, Ananya opened up about the very real eventuality of just not winning when it came to a unanimous stamp of approval. She went into detail about how when she had made her Bollywood debut with Student of the Year 2 (2019), she was incessantly skinny-shamed for having "chicken legs" and looking like a "matchstick". However, when growing up her body began to do its thing, naturally filling out and giving her her subtle curves, there was still plenty of unfounded conjecture still going around. Ananya shared, "I was 18-19 when I started out and I was really skinny you know, and everyone, you know, used to kind of make fun about that and they were like 'oh, you have chicken legs and you like, look like a matchstick, and you don't have tits, and you don't have an ass'. So that was what it was first. And now that I'm growing up and kind of, just like, naturally, my body is filling out, they're like 'oh, there's no way, she's got her butt done or she's got this done'...You can never win". Being completely honest, Ananya even went so far as to call women out for not being girls' girls — always subjecting a fellow woman to this kind of scrutiny, but never a man. She articulated, "People will constantly have something to say and criticise that and that's something that I've seen. Especially with women. I don't feel like they do that to men at all". That being said, this was not some self-serving rant. Ananya's very next segue became about how, Bollywood at large, but she herself has also been at fault for promoting unrealistic beauty standards: "I feel like it's our fault also, because we have set unrealistic beauty standards in the films that we' know an actress, (sometimes) do put that messaging out there, the films that 'I've done or the songs that I've done that 'oh, you're beautiful, you wake up in the morning, your hair is done, and it's not true! and you kind of have to balance that out somewhere". A post shared by Lilly Singh (@lilly) And how exactly is Ananya managing that? "You have to talk about it, you have to tell people that that's not the reality. We also don't look like that. And I, try to balance that out, maybe, by not being like that when I'm, you know, off camera", she adds. Ananya was last seen in the Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan-led Kesari Chapter 2. She is currently filming for Chand Mera Dil, also starring Lakshya.
