Dear Roland, Even if you insist that the Frederick generation doesn't know what they are talking about (haha got you there), it is very pessimistic to hope that the fires that burn within the Sunnith and Aristos of Goa should extinguish themselves.
This is very typical of your generation Roland to assume that Daddy has bought and paid for every succeeding generation. Do you think this generation has been twiddling their thumbs while they wait for a quirk of fate to bestow greatness on them? Let me tell you how difficult their life is. They have to study from sun-up to sunset if they hope to secure a seat in a half-decent college. Many have been known to endure anxiety, depression, nervous break-downs and even suicide brought on by the stress of exams. Once they get out of those colleges they have to compete with brilliant minds all over India to secure a half-decent job in a half-decent multinational or risk being left on the shelf to be employed by some third rate Indian manufacturing plant. Entry level jobs still pay a pittance, barely able to cover their bar tab, rent and transport. They have to live in pigeon-holes in Indian metropolises, travel to obscure parts of India usually by that contraption called Indian Rail, put up in roach motels and eat food guaranteed to give Montezuma a run for his money. Please don't think anyone is handing out anything to the Indians of today. They earn every bit of it.
