Age does make a difference
I always believed that being the youngest boy in the class I had an advantage over others because I get to learn what my age group learns a year earlier.
But recently I realized it is not always true.
I would have been at an advantage provided I learned with the present set and competed with my age group set.
In general in any class you have a deviation of one year from the mean. This difference can be a lot when you are an outlier in the set.
Since you know this now its time you can decide which set you want to compete with. Winning is about mitigating failure.

Sitting patterns..
At 8:15 on a cold Monday morning....I was waiting for my company bus...finally it turns at around 8:20.There were already about ten people and now we (my friends and me) too get in. Next stop Vashi station, some more get it and occupy some more seats. Sounds simple right....
When you enter a bus do you make a conscious decision of where to sit? I don’t...anyways I was surprised to see a pattern emerge. Everyone took one window seat including me (not consciously though).It went like this first guy A1,second guy B1 and so on.No one bothered to open the window ,people were speaking to each other across seats.Then why did everyone take an independent seat ?
