I am a brahmin-
That takes away all my privileges.
I am a taxman-and taxmen are supposed to make money for themselves in this country instead of serving the Revenue, but I cannot do that: therefore my status among peers is that of a fool and a joker who does not know how to live:
I read books on taxation to keep updated-this gives me the aura of a bookworm and a snob; God I would have left this labyrynthine profession if I can earn my livelihood in any other way
