Its almost pathetic to read some of the comments.. Damn..some of you guys have missed a point esp Cool_keta.. It was a very honest, heart warming article about various transitions in one's life. Tranisitions are there not becoz one wants but one has to go through the process.. A man or woman's success is defined how he/she deals with that transition and moves ahead. It does not matter if he swept bathroom floors in 7 Eleven or now is a owner of a small restaurant. The issue is how he dealt with it phsysically, pshychologically and foremost culturally. An irony where a person from a higher caste due to globalization for pure financial reason is turned into a shudra caste... A man's gotta do what a man's gotta to. a man/woman might have many roles to play and should be ready. The transtion DOES imply TO ALL OF US!!!.. the acts invoved in the transition might be different but it implies to all the human beings that grow older everyday. this is just not an issue of first generation migrant coming to America. this is about adaptating/functioning as a normal human being in a truly borderless world. LEARNING to reflect might do us all good. E.G. the chaos in Nepal. How do we deal with it now so that we do't have to deal with it tomorrow...
