Public vs Private

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Education, career, love, marriage, having children are all public choices in India. People around the person have more say on these than the concerned person. While abiding by the rules, paying taxes, and following basic discipline are all strictly private choices. Nobody cares if you chase your exam papers, do not pay taxes for years, or flout all traffic rules.

Pk1:My friend completed the masters degree by paying a passing fee of Rs. 2000 per paper in Madras University. I thought about it and said to myself, ‘Okay it’s his choice’.
Pk2:Passing fee is a euphemism.
