Indian boys have a thing about giving up something that they deem inappropriate as they grow up. It's their own way of telling the world- but on most occasions themselves -that they are maturing.
About a decade ago, researchers discovered that with every bad habit deemed inappropriate by their(Indian boys) standards, which they tend to have given up; they picked up another one almost immediately.
[E.g. If he were to give up drinking and stop eating meat, he indulged himself in sex instead.]
In other words, these boys have very short attention span. They live by the following, "out with the old, in with the new".
So like an Indian boy going by the name of Ash, who once told me that he was a G.I.B. (Good Indian Boy) - a title that will forever be elusive to Indian boys worldwide- I had this to say to him...
"Indian boys are like undies(black) worn during field camp. They may not look dirty, even if you decide to change them everyday. But once you analyze it properly, it reeks of that filthy stench. It's as if nothing has changed."
