They call it a Joke!


A  student from UK came to India to write a Thesis on rural life in India.It was Summer season and the month of June while traveling through rural Punjab he had a problem , he was not used to such a high temperature in a Country like India.While passing along 'Phirni' ( Circular path around the village), to get respite from heat,he sat under a shady tree.
But heat was unbearable, he then removed his shirt and trouser,he saw a village pond and started bathing.Getting some relief he decided to remain in water till the evening and enjoyed swimming.When he came out of the pond some leaches from the pond accompanied him to enjoy the blood from white skin to their heart's content.
He again set out for mission putting his clothes in bag pack and in shorts only.This was a new thing for village urchins and they started following him shouting "Joke oye "Joke oye". After this procession became bigger and bigger,he felt irritated.and requested  some village elder coming that way to help him to get rid of  the children's chorus and he obliged him.He thanked the elder and expressing his anger remarked," the bloody thing is half inch inside and they call it a 'Joke'!

Immediate solution of a  problem.
During the British Rule,English officers used to be sent to India on deputation. One such officer was posted to Punjab to carry out survey work for some Hydro electric project proposed to be constructed near Joginder Nagar in erstwhile Punjab( Now himachal Pardesh).Till further arrangements for his residence he was made to stay in a Dak bungalow .It was winter season and icy winds were blowing at such a height in the Hilly part of the state.
He was the only occupant of the rest house.The chowkidar of the rest house did not understand his queer accent English and he did not understand  the 'Pahadi', language a mixture of Punjabi Hindi and Urdu.He spent a miserable first night and early morning rang up an old buddy to help him with his problem.After listening to the problem,he said that at the moment,he was in a hurry to go some where,but to solve his instant problem,he wrote two sentences on a paper and sent to him per hand a messenger with the advice to speak these sentences at a speed in the morning and evening in that order and the watchman will understand him.The sentences were:

For Morning: "There was a cold day." and it sounded like " Darwaza colday"
At Night: " There was a Brown crow" it sounded like," Darwaza band karo"
Problem Solved! Gora Khush!

Sunday Special--God's Cow!

Image
When I was a child,I was fascinated by  a few insects,like Butterflies,Jugnu (Glow worm-or firefly), Lady bug,and Beer bahuti(Brother's Bride-In Punjabi).The former two were out of reach of kids, Ladybirds and Beer Bahuti have long been of interest to children, as such I could play with the later Two. Now I learnt that both my favorites are somehow related to the cow! Surprised? I share my research  with you, as follows :- ladybugs/ lady birds called "God's cows" in some languages (such as Russian, French, Hebrew, etc.) The creature beloved in many countries. In Russian, we call it “God’s cow”. Yep, something like this. Ladybugs smell with their feet and antennae. The farmers began to call the Ladybugs “the Beetles of Our Lady” and eventually they were known as Lady Beetles. The Ladybug's red wings are said to represent the Virgin's cloak and the black spots her joys and sorrows. The Ladybug is widely...
