My family doesnt think I am mad....they are just worried that I am too unconventional.
In my culture (Hindu, Indian) a make follows this path in life :-
* Birth
* School
* Tuitions
* Tries to get into IIT
* If that doesnt happen joins an engineering college
* If that doesnt happen - joins a medical college
* studies
* completes college and gets a degree
* writes GRE and TOEFL sometime during college
* Gets admission to univs around the world
* Goes and studies some more
* gets another degree and a job
* begins earning around $60,000 per year
* Comes home to find a girl waiting to get married
* Brings the hapless thing to the US
* rolls around in the sack for a day or two and knocks her up
* goes back home after a year with a baby
* buys land and builds a house
* already has a house abroad (not in India)
* keep making trips between home and not-home
* tries to bring every other loser in the family to the same country
* gets frustrated one day and goes back to India for good
* studies
* does nothing until the fat lady sings
I plan to change all that.
I am going to be unconventional and kick some ass. I have a vision!!!
I may not get married but maybe thats a good thing...
I may get funky looks when I go back to India for being "abnormal" but I dont care...
I may end up on some tibetian mountain with a loin cloth and a bottle of mineral water...meditating...
with Shure E5's and my Rio Karma and an SR-71 of course
Aaah!!
Its great to be unconventional!!!
