Here you see boys and young men, spending time in the evening playing and practising music at a temple. From their build I can tell that they spend time at the gym too. One even had a very fancy motorbike. I often get into arguments with young people who work at my office. I tell them that now is the opportunity for them to build a career. I&#x27;m used to the work culture in Bangalore, where young people stay back after office hours and learn. &quot;You don&#x27;t have to work; but there are all these resources available for you to learn and practice and become a better engineer&quot;. But no. They all have plans for the evening. And I guess I&#x27;ll never understand their plans. When Kavin plays the piano as part of carol singing at old age homes, I understand. When young people forego building a career to play music at a temple, I get it. But I also don&#x27;t want to get it. I come from a world of single minded pursuits. It&#x27;s a wonder how I made sure my own kids have well rounded personalities.</p> https://saurabhja.in/photos/p/saurabhjn-18031253273538452.html 2025-02-04T01:41:49+00:00 Saurabh Jain <img src="https://saurabhja.in/m/saurabhjn/media/other/18031253273538452.jpg" alt=""/><p>The gadariyas are back in our fields.
