Oye Pappe!!!

A couple of friends had gone to Delhi. They rented a taxi for local sight-seeing. The driver was an old sardar, and boys being boys, they began cracking sardarji jokes, just to insinuate the old man. But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed.

At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid up the hire-charges. The sardar returned the change. Moreover, he gave each one of them one rupee extra and said( in Hindi , of course) ''son, since morning you have been telling sardarji jokes. I listened to them all and let me tell you, some of them were in a very bad taste. Still, I don't mind coz I know that you are young blood and are yet to see the world. But I have just one request. Here I am giving you one rupee each. Give it to the first sardar beggar that you come across in this city."

After several days, my friends still had that one rupee coin with them. they couldn't find a single sardar begging on the streets of Delhi.

Food For Thought: The point i'm trying to make is though we all love sardar jokes, but we ought to respect the fact that Sikhs are one of the most prosperous and diversified communities in the world. The secret behind their universal success, according to me , is their willingness to do any job with utmost dedication.. A sardar will drive a truck or set up a roadside garage or a dhaba, but he will never beg on the streets.

So, next time you crack a joke on any sardar or forward a mail full of Pj's about them... Do so and enjoi it too but are you just going to pass a joke or a long forwarded mails of sardar jokes, or are you even going to try and bring your own community on par with theirs?

Btw, Happy Birthday Subbu
