Are BRAMHINS good businessmen?

There are few questions pop up in mind like radio songs - repetitively and even though you don't like to listen it. My jiju has told me an interesting thing once. Very true observation by him. He says in his childhood he listened all most all BRAHMIN stories started with one line - "EK GARIB BRAMHIN HATO." (There was a poor BRAMHIN).

Since I am in to profession (almost 1 year and few days) I have been facing this question day in day out - "Are BRAMHINS good businessman?" I tell you I grown up seeing only two people running business - one is dad and second is grandpa. Transparency and integrity are two things I got in heredity from them and these are the only two pillars well accepted in all literature of my profession. I know the difference of profession and business but at the end of the day both have to cook and eat.

Profession is thrilling, fascinating and ever demanding. How to get a client, proposals, budgets, controls, collections, improvement in service, staffing, relation making and lot of aspects takes time to build. I keep saying to people profession is like your second wife but no less important. You need to give time to your profession to understand you and you to understand your profession. Isn't it happen with your wife? I am not married and no girlfriends so you better know.

I am tired of convincing people interacting with me in my profession that I am not running a business and running behind making lots of money. We professionals surely forget this big line of difference between both of them. Poor we are but then very difficult to be someone like Sachin! Never satisfied still ever happy! (Sorry I again have cricket or Bollywood buddies to talk about life) BRAMHINS are like him. For me, they never tried to make business even where they spent their life building such business. It doesn't mean they are not dreaming for Walksvagon or Ferrari at nights but they have their own way of making money. Money that comes with honesty and integrity.

Hope, someday even I can make a little money to answer this question.
