The Beggar
Two college students, Akshay and Sunil, are sititng in a taxi in Mumbai when a beggar approaches them asking for spare change. Akshay adamantly rejects the man in disgust. Sunil, on the other hand, whips out his wallet, pulls out a couples of notes and gladly hands them over to the beggar with a smile. The beggar thanks him kindly and then continues to other taxis. Akshay is outraged by his friend's act of generosity. "What on earth did you do that for?" yells Akshay. "You know he's only going to use it on cigarattes and alcohol."
Sunil replies, "And we weren't?"
Dear Jaal,
Thanks for the greetings and remembering. You are continuing the tradition of Swift, Twain, Paul Buhle, particularly Buhle, who made Left brand of humor his specialty and enlivened the dreary scene on the Left to the pleasure and enrichment of us all. Keep up the good work. Humor is what we need most, and it is in extremely short supply!
I most heartily Wish JAAL, and you all, a great time of felicity and fulfilment in the next century. Let 21st century herald a better millennium. I keep browsing your website. Best.
I K Shukla (ikshukla@hotmail.com)
Jaal: We also aspire to the tradition of Don Martin, and especially that of the funniest folk in the country, our netalog.
