~ Actor Rajeev Khandelwal (the former Sujal in Kahiin To Hoga), who has lived on his own for the last 10 years, articulates the importance of doing things on your own. "There is nothing around the house I can not do -- be it cleaning, dusting, washing, ironing. I love cooking. Learn to do things yourself," he says.
~ Saving for a rainy day is very important. "If you have a regular source of income, it makes sense to save some for a rainy day, to tide you through rough weather. Money plays a very important role in life at the end of the day," says Rajeev.
~ Get your priorities right. "Never abuse your freedom. One can indulge in small pleasures as long as one has his priorities right. In my field of work, there are certain schedules I need to follow religiously. If I need to go to the gym tomorrow morning, I cannot drink myself silly tonight. One needs to know their limits," he says.
