The Unbearable Madness of being a Bawa.

[Skyman]

Come now, did i really strike you as the kind that needs fluffing? I thought you give me a cookie at least...but you are quite a stingy bug*3r.

And yes, i do intend to hit the books when i can sit up.Probably when they get these staples off.

There is this peculiar thing about parsi community "method in madness" and it is probably due to genetic effect ( not defect) as it is common among close knit communities, where there is no induction of new members is never allowed, there seem to be a very fine margin between genius and insanity. Most not all members of parsi community are in between these two extreme or else how can explain such a brilliant tribe, having insanity tag attached to them, still i fail to understand why we, the general population fail to look upon the achievements and contributions of parsi community towards the progress of our country. I have great respect for parsi community for their dedication, honesty, integrity, charity and social services. It is indeed sad that most educated, peace loving and law abiding citizens of the society are labeled as crazy if this is the norm i do not mind my self being called crazy.(iam non parsi)

Kalashnikovcult,

In theory, a Sardar-Bawa combi should make for the craziest coots on the planet but so far my boys have proved this theory wrong. Did your cousins turn out to be exceptionally loony?

Hahaha...you hit the nail ! my cousins turned out to be taking the worst sides of both ..mad and cranky and crazy drinkers !

It's always better to judge by actions rather than looks or words. Right now you are coming across as a mincing nancy boy. So stop fluffing around and get swatting.

I thought you give me a cookie at least...but you are quite a stingy bug*3r.

Sometimes it is better to be cruel, to be kind.

And yes, i do intend to hit the books when i can sit up.Probably when they get these staples off.

That's a load of bull. You can study in bed, assuming you really want to.

One of these days i am going to throw a bee hive at you.

I write and learn, o Bawa.

where there is no induction of new members is never allowed

That's one of their nuttier decisions but probably applicable to Indian Parsis only.
When the elders are asked why others cannot be included into the Zarathustrian faith, the usual answer is that we must keep our promise not to proselytise. The racist (used in the original, rather than the more prevalent derogatory form) one's will bluntly tell you that they do not want to mix their blood line. They are obviously ignorant of the extent of the Persian empire from the Danube to the Indus. However, the real reason may well be the Parsi Panchayat's reluctance to monetarily support more needy Parsis. It is a misconception that the entire community is well off.
With sixty odd thoousand of us left in India, it makes no sense sitting on that mountain of money.

I have great respect for parsi community for their dedication, honesty, integrity, charity and social services.

That is still true to a large extent but I have seen a fair few go the other way. Disappointing!

It is indeed sad that most educated, peace loving and law abiding citizens of the society are labeled as crazy.

Nothing to be sad about when you consider that they quite good humouredly foster and advocate such a belief. It does show the confidence of the community in itself though.

Do you know where said beehive will reside if you don't do well in your exams?

What that has to do with a combustible backside, I have no idea. However, in future be punctual and maintain your commitments.

You are a man who favors the taste of salt and vinegar to that of honey.Pah! And Your Highness, do see if you can spare some of your time within the next two months.I intend to learn a bit if you please.

You would have done fine with the mob don't you think?
