Getting stuck in your ways ?

Is there an age in life when you lose your behavioural elasticity and become routine based, and your personal preferences for even the most mundane of things like eating & shopping does not become a matter for negotiation ?

When you're at school or uni, life can feel like one big theme park and you can make new friendships daily and therefore become exposed to new vibrant influences which alters your attitude daily. However, once you start working or start a long term relationship, have a family, buy property etc - does your outlook slowly become more rigid and parochial ? Is there anything that can be done to reverse this degeneration of the open, flexible mind ? My curiosity is always piqued when I meet 20-something years old who act like 50 year olds, and vice versa....

Translated:

A numerous community of Sikh Indians, attracted from the job opportunities, especially in the industry of hides, has established itself in the small city of Arzignano, in province of Vicenza, northern Italy.

Here's the link with a great photo gallery. :)
