Accidentally hit a buffalo when brakes of bus failed
Acchan informed the cops & things were explained
After 28 years, he heard the cops knock
At the age of 83 when he can barely walk
Summons delivered, he has to appear as ordained

Pure ghee has a great demand in the market
Many indulge in fake ghee with brands to target
Amul, Patanjali, Mother Dairy are hot cakes
Packaging looks real but products are fakes
Only Sherlock Holmes can make them act honest

@anantvijay This is an academic game. It is played in conferences, seminars, opinion columns, books, discussions in the garb of "right to dissent", "freedom to speech", "ideology & ism" to drive vested interests. Truth takes a backseat in all such cases.

Me: sir Puruskar hai
Officer: acha. Is me ke sharp
Point hai?
Me: sir sharp nahi hai. Uska pankh hai.
Officer: acha acha. Dikhaiye.
I open the bag. He looks at the award. Lifts it up. It’s not sharp.
Officer: accha hai. Badhai ho. Kya karte ho?
Me: Comedian sir. Joke sunata hoon.
Him: joke ke liye puruskar milte hain?
Me: mujhko bhi ajeeb laga sir.
We both laugh. I put it back in the bag. I head to my flight.
