Goa is a complicated place. 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'm used to the work culture in Bangalore, where young people stay back after office hours and learn. "You don't have to work; but there are all these resources available for you to learn and practice and become a better engineer". But no. They all have plans for the evening.
And I guess I'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't want to get it. I come from a world of single minded pursuits. It's a wonder how I made sure my own kids have well rounded personalities.
