Re: Understanding the US - Again

Very different take on life compared to the 4 ashramas of Hindu tradition namely Baalya, Vaivahika , Vanaprastha and finally Sanyaasa. A small nit. The four ashramas are brahmacharya (staying at gurukula and learning), graahastya (family life - which is the longest IMHO), vaanaprastha, and sanyasa....

Chetak garu,
Agree mostly. What historic or ethnic claim do Afghans have on Balochistan? I'm not well versed in this matter, my vague GK tells me they are as different as chalk and cheese. If anything, Balochs would prefer to be a part of Bharat than get gobbled up by Afghanis/Talibunnies.
