Somebody at work, asked me to write a piece on ‘Transformation’, and while I was at it trying to put something sensible, the other thoughts that I had to forcibly put in the bin, are strung together as an article and penned below.KEY

Given that I have 40 minutes and not 40 years to present my research and findings, I will stick to the sample size that I have abided by the last 26 years.

Not able to sense the humor in the blog ...It is boring actually

 

[apsarathy]

What does the author trying to convey? Is he stereotyping the TB? Also, like tks says, there is no humor nor do I any meaning in the entire blog.

I would like to read the total blog.It brings out the dilemmas youngsters face when there is a huge gap between what parents expect of brahmin boys and what they come across in school .colleges and worklife. we brahmins would like to become discreet and push everything unacceptable under the carpet and behave as if it does not exist. we do not accept the bous have normal desires to show off,smoke,drink and have a social life dating and mixing with persons of opposite sex.
