But again the problem is, there are few Gumaasthaas without this characteristics and it wud be condescending to them.

I guess, since there were more brahmins in middle-class ( than other castes in 70s), That caste name might got stick with middle-class mentality. <BR/><BR/>We may use some other word though! ( as now, more people are becoming middleclass, irrespective of caste and have the same characteristics. meaning, it is not the problem with that caste, but of the econo-social pressure )Prakash Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943832210115602794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189441.post-1155492315752035242006-08-13T11:05:00.000-07:002006-08-13T11:05:00.000-07:00In short "Characters Venkatraghavaiah and Shivanan...In short "Characters Venkatraghavaiah and Shivanand" are the typical examples of Gumastha buthi. Fortunately we live in X generation :). <BR/><BR/>I have seen lot, esp the maamis gives free advice. they don't even care whether they know the subject. on the fly free advice. ready made advice.<BR/> <BR/>Maamas are much more pathetic. After all, they were the gumasthaas. live in plain old way. don't belive /accept new things.<BR/><BR/>one example. I got 273.67 cut off in entrance + 12th. Not one, three maamas, could not believe that I could get those marks ( I am not saying, its a great mark !!. the point is they could not believe it) . <BR/><BR/>I am non-brahmin + mostly I used to be in the streets ( I use to read in the morning ) . They told "chumma sollaathappa. unmaya sollu evalavu mark'nu". One maama even asked me to show my mark sheet. This is called the great "Gumaastha" buthi of middle-class Of TN.<BR/><BR/>p.s. Maamas and Maamis don't refer to Brahmins alone. I consider most of the middle-class are neo-brahmins in short gumastha brain ( including the oldies from my family. one of the mama among three maamas is my own mama ).Prakash Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943832210115602794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189441.post-1155488195037459692006-08-13T09:56:00.000-07:002006-08-13T09:56:00.000-07:00Ok, now for the Disclaimer:Characters Venkatraghav...Ok, now for the Disclaimer:<BR/>Characters Venkatraghavaiah and Shivanand are fictious and any resemblence to anyone living or dead is purely coincidental.<BR/><BR/>That Narayanamoorthy worked initiall at IIM-A and later worked @ France before starting the company is true, though I don't know if Infosys followed immediately after he came back home. That he borrowed Rs.10,000 from his wife is also a fact (atleast a widely believed and undisputed story)<BR/><BR/>Credits:<BR/>The idea came during those informal chats with my mama (whose humour gene along with his looks has been passed down to me) when I said N. murthy is going to retire on Infy's 25th year. He discussed what would have happened when he started or had his venture been a failure. BUT, sadly, my retention had always failed me, which forced me to be more creative, though much less humorous! :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks and credits to Mr. Keshavan Krishna Iyengar<BR/><BR/>ட்ரைவர்,<BR/>என் உரையின் சொர்ச்சுவையில் என்ன குற்றம் கண்டீர்? <BR/><BR/>Hamsa,<BR/>Does the "Thanks" bring out the H (as in IMHO) in you, or is it just me? :) Anyway, I don't get many thanks for the post I make, so thanks for the thanks. <BR/><BR/>Both,<BR/>Keep visiting and keep posting!Badhrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549143296407318099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189441.post-1155478445626524662006-08-13T07:14:00.000-07:002006-08-13T07:14:00.000-07:00wow!! ithu unmaya? very good read :)) thankswow!! ithu unmaya? very good read :)) thanksVanjulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634891466269045286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189441.post-1155424315136136082006-08-12T16:11:00.000-07:002006-08-12T16:11:00.000-07:00நல்ல கர்ப்பனை (or is it true?)! நாராயண மூர்த்திகிட...நல்ல கர்ப்பனை (or is it true?)! நாராயண மூர்த்திகிட்ட சொல்லி தமிழ் "ச்பெல் செக்கர்" கொண்டு வர சொல்லணும். நம்பள மாதிரி ஆளுங்களுக்கு ரொம்ப தேவை.Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811824831598941845noreply@blogger.com
