My wife’s nephew came to visit us a couple of years back and we were just shooting the breeze drinking some beer which we sneaked from under his parents and my wife’s sight, they are religious peeps. I am quite adventurous and was sharing with him how it is important to live an exciting life. Next thing I know he quit a very senior position job and went on an adventure seeking trip all over the world sleeping in the Amazon, back packing thru Asia etc. I didn’t mean for him to take me so seriously. I might have ruined his life.
Yesterday at work my Lil western born gujju assistant looked all frazzled and shared with me his white girl problems, they have been dating only 2 months. I gave him some advice casually and he seemed happy after. He said I possibly changed his life. This is a big burden to carry and wish people should not take me that seriously. Should I go have another chat with Smeet.
People take me seriously too and I don't know why. For example, I was at a restaurant yesterday and told someone they had a bug in their food, they didn't eat it and sent it back. I was like "What!! I can't believe they took me seriously."

True story.
Not really...
Seriously though, I keep following wifes nephews life on fb to make sure he is okay. Their mom passed away and made us their keepers and I feel so responsible. Even with my kids when I talk to them and sometimes I wish they hadnt taken me this seriously.
don't let it get to you....I'm sure there are many people who don't take you seriously.......really, I'm sure.
as for the nephew etc....you don't know that he did what he did as a result of your advice.....he's an adult, he's gonna make choices, good and bad.
you can't control him.
Nephew shared with me that I was the influence. He was a senior manager with Ernst and Young then roamed the planet like a vagabond. You guys should find him a wife then maybe he settles down. I cant drink beer anymore my wife forbade it. People do take me seriously this young colleague sent me a text. I mentored her.

See? We aren't taking you seriously when you say people take you seriously. It's not that serious to seriously think about.
Yes and Neither is travelling the world or dating a gori
When did I say dating a gori is a problem, Smeet had a fight with her and she threatened to break off the relationship and in 2 months period has managed to give him a list of stuff he needs to work on. She apologised and he wasnt going to forgive her and I told him that if anyone sincerely apologises I forgive them and also told him that he shouldnt take things to heart as they both are not considering any long term commitmeents, he should just learn to ignore and enjoy her company and when he finds someone more suitable he should move on. Dating is just a process to get to know people and just enjoy each others company. He was going to inherit a brown man ego and I told him to shed that crap as brown men sometimes kill their own children to feed their egos and he was quite touched by it.
Travelling the world isnt a problem but quitting a 150k job and abandoning a career is risky. Nephew has started a leasing business now so maybe he will be financially okay. I think being happy is more important than being rich. He does seem happy or maybe hes just loafing as there is large inheritance if dad does not remarry. Many kids from wealthy backgrounds dont like to put the effort in careers.

well nothing he's doing is wrong....so why are you worried?
and why would you teach him to shed the brown man ego but expect that someone should find him a wife? can't he do it on his own?
didn't you sneak the beer before? what's stopping you from sneaking behind your wife's back again?
and the text from angela is nothing to get your head inflated about.....

Maybe you are right, he seems to be having a great time. When I took him camping he could tell stories all night about his adventures in the Amazon and Cambodia. My philosophy is work hard and play hard and I didnt mean for him to just play. A man is supposed to have responsibilities and structure. I think after his parents forbade him to marry the girl he loved has had really strong influence on him. I was worried when my assistant told me that I have possibly changed his life.
He asked us to find him a good brown wife, his mum passed away and we dont socialise with desis so we cant help him, plus hard to find a desi girl who can share an adventerous life.
Desi people have huge unhealthy egos which destroy their lives and the lives of people they love, humility and flexibility are keys to hapiness. Decisions should be made on logic and not on ego or emotions.

perhaps you should show some "humility and flexibility" and tell your wife about BEER. Or will that destroy your marriage?
Update, Smeet was complaining about being tired as he didn't get enough sleep last night, I asked, how come? he said he stayed over at Amanda's place. I guess he got laid like freshly laid sod because of my advice, plus they seem to be getting along. If he had acted on his emotions in a rash manner and not took me seriously he would have lost out on the pleasure and happiness he received. Sometimes it is a good idea to take me seriously. I think he has cool gujju parents who don't have a problem with whoever he wants to be with or spending the night with.
