Kashmir ka cauliflower (the opposite of Kali)

Food for thought: Does there exist a Kashmiri man who is not a software engineer from Maharashtra?

It's almost as if a few years back, God circulated a new notification:

1. In order to be a Kashmiri man, you must be a software engineer.
2. You must have studied in Maharashtra.
3. To be a really good Kashmiri man, you must have studied software engineering in Maharashtra.

Thus the prototype was born and soon, this was the only type that could be found.

And the sub-headings in the notification may have been thus:

1. You shall not be an interesting man to know.
2. Your main target in life should be to get to the US.
3. You shall speak bad English. Repeat. This is a very important point.
4. You shall still want to marry a woman who will cook Kashmiri food for you and wash your undies, but this woman should now have a full-fledged job.
5. You shall consider the above-mentioned woman intelligent only if she too is an engineer, preferably from Maharashtra.

Really. This is true.
