One fine day a Parsi Bawaji (gentleman) boarded a train for Surat. There was very little rush in the train and so our Bawaji managed to get a seat near window. But the window was jammed. Our frail Bawaji tried his best to open it but could not. A Sardarji who was watching frail Bawaji’s struggle, took pity on him and opened the window in one go, then said: “Oye, Paronthe kha, taakat aayegi.”
After a while Bawaji got the call of nature. He went to the toilet but to his utter dismay here too the door was slammed shut. This time too, the Sardaji came to his rescue and opened the door for him with the same comment: “Oye Pape, Paronthe kha Paronthe, te taakat aayegi.”
Bawaji could not take it anymore. He went to the emergency chain pull, and made a show of pulling the chain. The kind Sadarji once again came to his help and pulled chain: “Main kya Bawaji, tusi………”
The train grinded to a halt and the TC and the guard came to check who had pulled the chain. Bawaji pointed to Sardarji who had to pay a hefty fine. Now it was Bawaji’s turn: “Ee mara dikra, Dhanshak kha dhanshak, thodi akkal avse.”
