Are your life goals determined by your surname?
At least in India, these are my hypotheses-
Agarwals want to own a Sweet shop.
Bansals want to do a flip-flop, or start a Flipkart.
Sonis want to strike Gold, in what they do.
Burmans want to either go into music or Ayurvedic medicine, like Dabur.
Patels want to own motels- in the U.S.
Singhs from Punjab want a Canadian citizenship.
Dash-es want to be dashing cops.
Jhas want to make pickles branded as Jhaji.
Bannerjees want to carry banners and protest.
Boses want to add an 's' and become bosses.
Deys want to be knighted.
South Indians usually have no surnames, so either they are goal-less, or have the same goals. In case of Andhra/Telangana, the goal is to settle in the U.S. and maybe in Kerala, to get a job in the Gulf.
