Holi fun

Why do some people play लठमार Holi?


Guess


Go on


Simple!


Because they want holi-stic enjoyment.

At the duck pond

Mama Hen was busy scolding her chicks for jumping in the duck pond: "It's dangerous and wet. You are not ducklings--you cannot swim. Neither can I--how would I get you out?"

And the clincher: "Don't be so bold. Remember, we're supposed to be chicken."

Common ailments part 3: Ulcers

"How are you coping with your ulcers? Is it hard?"

"You bet. I don't think I can stomach this any more..."

Common ailments part 2: Sore throat

दुखी: "ओह्ह! मेरा गला बहुत दर्द कर रहा है।"

सहायक, पूर्ण सेवा की भावना में: "दबा दूँ?"

Common ailments part 1: Suffering from spondylitis

"I heard you've got spondylitis. Is it bad?"

"Yes, it's a real pain in the neck."

At the canteen counter

If people come and deposit uneaten food back at the canteen counter, what is going on?


Think.


Think more.


Give up?


It's obvious:


The canteen is getting feed back.

Global warming

It is the year 2100, when global warming is fully established. The Arctic, Greenland and Antarctic ice caps have melted completely, and still the heat is increasing...

Then the oceans start evaporating and the coastlines recede. Only land where once the seawater lapped the shores...

The people in the erstwhile coastal cities wait for rain...

They wait for the rain...

They wait and wait for their old friend rain...

They want rain to come quickly...

Because...?

Because...

Long time, no sea.

Next movie in the Sarkar series

So, you've seen the movies Sarkar and Sarkar Raj, and you are looking forward to the next one?

Lucky you! We have a special sneak preview for you!

The next movie in the series is called Cheekoo Sarkar.
Because (you guessed it) चीकू is the next सरकार.
The movie has a very tense political issue as its background.
There is a border issue between Maharashtra and Karnataka, with orchard owners in both states girding up for price wars (and other wars).
चीकू develops as the big नेता in this issue, which is an amazing surprise (the actor can't act for nuts), and the more so as he is on the Bengaluru side of the border (amazing twist in the story! audience will love it!)


So, here's the question for you: how come he can become a big नेता without his grandfather's support--and remember, his grandpa lives and dies for Maharashtra?


Obvious.
In Kannada, a चीकू is a सपोटा, and obviously, श्री चीकू has lots and lots of sapotas.


Yesss! I outdid myself this time. A tri-lingual pun, yet!

People on diets

Another imponderable question:

If someone on a diet binges on heavy desserts,
are they just getting desserts
or are they getting their just desserts?

Party hard

It's the time of year to party hard.

Partying hard is, ahem, not easy.

It's difficult.

You keep yourself awake, eating a little food very late, and surrounded by music loud enough to cause instant deafness--restricting your conversation to 'What?' and 'What??'--and this is all not easy.

Hence, 'party hard'.

Happy New Year!
