Hello friends,
My one brahmin friend, told me about the following incident which I wish to share
with you. It has had a deep impact on my thinking.
During last vacation, my few friends went to Chandigarh. They rented a taxi
for local sight-seeing. The driver was an old Haryanavi's jat and boys being
boys, these pals began cracking Jats jokes, just to tease the old man.
But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed.
At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid the cab hire-charges. The
Haryanvi taxi driver Jat returned the change, but he gave each one of them one rupee
extra and said,
(in Hindi, of course),
*''Son, since morning you have been telling Jats jokes. I listened
to them all and let me tell you, some of them were in 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 one request. I am giving you one rupee each. Give it
to the first "JAT BEGGAR" that you come across in this or any other
city.' *
My friend continued,* ' That one rupee coin is still with me. I
couldn't find a single JAT begging anywhere.'***
Friends, we all love jokes. But do you know that JATS are one
of the most hard working prosperous and diversified communities in the
world. The secret behind their universal success, is their willingness
to do any job with utmost dedication and pride.
Isn't this very thought provoking ???
