[Assam] Roi Na Xorkei?

Thanks for sharing the link with us, Uttam. 

It is so true. A handy person is always a winner in practical life - that goes without saying.

One person can not be the master of everything, but as long as the 'mastery' of his own trade/elitist education does not get into his/her head, s/he can pick up other useful things in this life and also enjoy it. 

There are a lot of "Deshi-s" (including 'Khar-Khowa's) who have big swollen heads with the so-called education and no culture. And I always thought that educaton and culture go hand in hand. 

I must also add here that I too, am not totally immune to this but I immediately regret for being the prey of this false vanity or for portraying myself as one, though never on purpose.

Again, thanks for sharing the story that represents so many 'happy go lucky' families that accept what life brings them. 

The moral of my analysis (being the 'bikhyat' analyst here :)) is that as long as Education, Wealth, Fame or 'nijoke bikhyat buli bhaba swobhab' don't get into their heads. :)
