Mind Your Language!!

A boys's family is at Paaji's place to visit the girl and get the would-be groom acquainted with the bride before the betrothal.Punjabis (Indians from a northern state) have this huge habit of show off that both the parties wanted to show that they are good at speaking English and are from an HIGH CLASS society with open views.

The boy politely asks Paaji, " Uncleji with your permission can I speak to your daughter in private.". To this Paaji replies, "Of course beteji of course! You can take my daughter to the side and have intercourse."

Generation Gap!

This incident happened when I was in India last Oct 2010.

My dad had a small fight with my mom over his eating habits; so he left home and arrived at my sister's place with a hot head and empty stomach.

At sister's place generally they do not have full course meal at night, they eat lite. This day it was Indian pan cakes on the menu.

During dinner time my sister made some4-5 pancakes per head and was serving them hot straight out of the pan. After serving everyone and making a few for herself she was about the close the kitchen when my dad said'' This was delicious stuff. Now that my fast is broken let's bring out the dinner I am hungry". To this my brother - in - law had an empty face, poor fellow couldn't understand what to say.

Me and my sister knowing my dad's antics were having a hearty laugh.
