climax of a visit

During my college days, in one of my vacations, I went to my native village. Keeping with the then prevailing practice in our families, I wanted to pay my respects to and get the blessings from all the elderly relatives there. Accordingly I met one of my grand uncles to pay my respects to him. He was very happy to see me and offered me a cup of coffee which I politely declined saying that I never take coffee. He was surprised to know and asked me why. I said that right from the day of my birth, I have not taken coffee and I have been brought up so. ( My parents wanted to give up coffee as a mark of respect to Mahatma Gandhi, and tried their best a dozen times themselves and when they could not succeed in their efforts, ultimately decided to impose their holy wish on their children and that is how it happened.) 'What?' he remarked with a wry face, 'a stupid habit' .Then he asked me whether I will take tea and again I said 'no'. He got frustrated and asked me whether I smoke. I said no. 'How about drinks ' he asked. I gave another 'no' as a reply. I told him that I am a teetotaller. 'Nonsense' was his reaction and not satisfied with that, he passed a very caustic remark ' what the hell have you learnt in the college then?'. To put it in the language he used, it runs like this '
என்ன எளவுதாண்டா பின்னே நீ காலேஜுலே கத்துண்டே?
That was the climax of the visit.
It is very difficult to believe. Isn't?
