Dear Suresh:
What line did I cross? Are you saying this person should rather sit at home doing nothing instead of going out and learn a trade that will pay him handily?
And.... what is wrong with a sweeper's job? As Sri KRS has pointed out, any honest work is good in the eys of the Lord. Haven't you heard of 'dignity of labor'? I am sorry to say this... but... the empty pride with the Tamil Brahmins is another impediment in our moving forward.
We can certainly learn many things from the West.

Mr Suresh star,

Apropos your discussion with Sri Silverfox, I think you are right, if you permit a small variation.

Sri Silverfox “would have” “crossed the line” if he was “forcing” his nephew to take up the vocational training. On evidence of what he wrote, he wasn’t.

Suggesting / Advising doesn’t constitute breaching the lakshman rekha.

I know that todays young men and women have a congenital dislike for advice and I am no different. (Twin benefits here – no advice and a proclamation that I am still young J)

Having said that, if the person is so particular about the choice of employment, whatever that may be, should brave the period of lull. He needs to be steadfast in his thinking , as patient as “odu meen oda uru meen varum varaiyil vaadi irundha kokku” and not be a rabble-rouser.

Instead if he chooses to air his angst, it is only natural that genuine well meaning advice / suggestion comes your way.

So if he or she has invited “it” (meaning advice) by their own conduct, they shouldn’t be cuss about the same.

“Deivathaal aagadheninum muyarchi than mei varutha kooli tharum” wrote Saint Valluvar.

Moot point is that whether the young men and women are prepared to “varuthify their mei” to reach wherever they want to.
