Going on a blind date? Having trouble filing your tax returns? Worry not, Kanan Gill has solutions to most of your millennial problems. In an exclusive chat with The Quint, the comedian shared some pretty cool hacks for some of the most humdrum issues of life. He also opened up about how while growing up he had a momentary urge to take the IAS exam. Here’s what Gill had to say when asked about how to handle blind dates:

If you go on a blind date, what you should do is remember the break-up you just had, which you are feeling sad about. Which is why you are on Tinder in the first place. What you should do is just go on that date and talk about that break-up.

When asked about his first-time experience of filing tax returns, Gill said:

It was a little encouraging because it was my first year as a freelancer. Earlier the software company I worked for used to file it. I had to go and find a Chartered Accountant and he filed mine under the wrong category. For one year, he filed my I-T returns as if I was a tour operator. So, it took a lot of effort to fix that.
