The Age of Reason

.
In Hindu culture, there are supposed to be 4 stages in a man's life.

These are : (whatever), brahmachari, grihasti, sanyasi.

Loosely translated, based on effective meaning, these are :
'What is frustration?', 'build up frustration', 'expend some frustration, learn new types of frustration', and 'no frustration'.
or,
'Too young to know', 'too smart for own good', 'too dumb to think (look what you did!)', and 'too old to care'.

There can now be absolutely no doubt on the superior knowledge and awareness of Indian civilisation. The 'elders of a gentle race', in all their wisdom, placed sanyasi AFTER grihasti.

And found Peace.

Om shanti, shanti, shanti hi.

Umm... can we just skip the grihasti and sanyasi altogether? What is the procedure to change the rules, sir? Could I talk to your manager please?

I thought yellow was a nice colour... But change must be accepted. BTW try and do up the html properly... it's looking a bit awry...

@AC: No.1 - Im not extremely worried about how the page looks. as long as it's reasonably readable.
No.2 - Of course, i would like to do some things with the page but unfortunately, I really don't know much html. and i dont have the time to learn it in any detail either. maybe someday...or with some help...
