There's a 13-year old moron who has scribbled on the cover of his homework book "I'm a hot guy with a cool attitude". From what I have found out about him, he's neither very intelligent nor very studious, and pathetically lacking in the GK and worldly wisdom that I should consider appropriate for his age. He thinks, for instance, that you need to be 'brilliant' to get through the West Bengal Joint Entrance examination, and that they teach engineering at the 'prestigious' Presidency College in Kolkata.
If I know something of the career trajectories of creatures like this, he will be working at Rs. 20-30,000 a month for TCS or Infosys in ten years' time, or if he's very lucky he'll have a slightly better job at a public sector enterprise such as NTPC or SAIL or SBI, and his mother would preen about how well-'established' her son is, and look for a bride whose dad would be willing to cough up at least Rs. 50 lakhs as dahej.
Any comments?

I'm still wondering why a 13 year old human being would scribble those lines on the cover of his homework book...maybe he isn't one, that's my only guess. These are the times when I want to send some/many humans to the moon. One way tickets, of course.
And the worst bit, I think, is that they haven't the least idea in the world that something is terribly wrong with them.
Hi Shilpi-di, this is another one of those examples which you can use in your research on psychology. Maybe you can uncover the myths behind this kind of behaviour in 13 year olds...
I don't think the moon could accommodate their number, Shilpi, the type has been proliferating exponentially in recent times.
Subhadip, can you blame the boy? He is growing up in an age when everybody is desperate to sound cool, even if it is only via catchy slogans. Aren't we, their fathers' generation, squarely to blame? Aren't we desperately telling the world that we are cool and catchy because of the smart phones we use, or the cars we drive, no matter how trivial our work may be, how little our social worth?
I object to Shilpi's proposition as i strongly support the treaties that have been negotiated by COPUOS.
