This morning Soni ji gives me his phone and asks me if I can make out why it isn't working. The keypad is locked. I unlock it and give it back to him.
Soni ji swerves the auto to a dangerous standstill. " You can fix this in a minute??! And it doesn't cost money?!!!!"
It turns out that every time his keypad gets locked accidentally, Soni ji has to take it to a cellphone mechanic, who keeps it for three hours, makes a show of fiddling on his computer, and bills Soni ji for 300 bucks. Apperantly, this has happened thrice.
Soni ji, moustache quivering with rage, yells in my face, "Uss marammat wale ki to mai marammat karta hun!! Saala mujhe ch*****a banata hai! MUJHE!!"
Long gap, then "Sorry Beta, thanks"
I'm sorry too, Soni ji. It takes a lot of thugs to make up a world. Don't let it get to you.
9 paper boats came floating back to me:
I guess you have awesome mornings with Soni ji!!! :)

Ohhh!! HAHAHA!! Santa Singh Bechara.. haha! poor chap.. really I love sardars.. they are very clean hearted.. very very BIIG hearted.. ..
This reminds me of something different though I once told a Sardar lady in my office.. that sardars are of two types.. one is very intelligent (eg Manmohan Singh.. Montek Singh) and the others are duds... but one thing is common among them.. all are mad!! Ooohh poor lady she was my junior.. she was flabbergasted.. did not know what to say.. bechari junior tha mera.. but this post reminds me that they ALSO have BIG heart..
And all big hearted people are hurrt by THUGS of this world!!
