An old purohit in small-town India had a teenage son. It was getting high time the boy gave some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men his age, the boy didnt really know what he wanted to do, and he didnt seem too concerned about it. One day, while the boy was away at school, the purohit decided to try an experiment. He went into the boys room and placed on his study table four objects: 1. A copy of the Ramayana, 2. A silver coin, 3. A bottle of whisky, 4. A copy of Playboy magazine . I will hide behind the door, the old purohit said to himself, And when he comes home from school, I will see which object he picks up. If its the Ramayana, hes going to be a purohit like me, and what a blessing that would be. If he picks up the coin, hes going to be a businessman, and that would be okay too. But if he picks up the bottle, hes going to be a no-good drunken bum, and Lord Shiva, what a shame that would be. And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine, hes going to be a skirt-chasing womanizer. The old man waited anxiously and soon heard his sons footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room, he spotted the objects on the table. He walked over to inspect them, looking at each for several minutes. Finally, he picked up the Ramayana and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver coin and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while admiring the months centerfold. Lord Shiva, have mercy! the old purohit cried out. Hes going to be Asaram Bapu!
