amitava sen::We tend to setup familial relationships with almost any person we get acquainted with, especially when they are older than us.
We cannot just address them by their names.
We always want them to be our brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, grandparents etc.
We do it with good intentions.
Addressing them by their first name is next to impossible.
So we need to make a quick judgment call and decide what relationship we would like to establish with this new friend.
If you are ever doubtful about your social status in this relationship scale, i suggest you walk down the pavement in gariahat kolkata.
The hawkers and roadside vendors will give you a perfect judgment about your age.
