THIS WAS NARRATED BY ONE OF MY FRIEND'S SON WHO RETURNED FOR A SHORT VISIT FROM USA AFTER HIS FIRST EMPLOYMENT THERE.
His employer, an American, on the day of the first meeting enquired "Are you a monkey Brahmin or elephant Brahmin?"The Indian boy could not make out what reply exacly his employer wants as no such division like monkey or elephant Brahmin back home. The boy asked,''Sir, I don't catch you. Will you please explain?" Then the american boss pulled out two computer graphics pictures of GANESHJI AND HANUMANJI!!. Then the boy understood the boss wants to know whether he is a Shiva or Vishnu worshipper, that is a Shaivite or Vaishnavite?
The boy smilingly said,"I am a monkey brahmin!"
Post humor like this. It has to be decent ,gentle and bring a smile on the face of the reader.
SRI RAMAKRISHNA PARAMAHAMSA(SRK) WAS A HUMOUROUS PERSON. HE USED TO CUT JOKES TO THE YOUNG BOYS WHO WERE WITH HIM.ONE DAY A MOTHER BROUGHT HER SON AND COMPLAINED TO SRK THAT THE BOY WAS EATING TOO MUCH OF SWEETS;EVEN BY STEALING THEM.THE MOTHER WANTED SRI RAMAKRISHNA TO ADVICE THE BOY TO AVOID TOO MUCH OF SWEETS.
ReplyDeleteSRK ASKED THE MOTHER TO RETURN AFTER 5 DAYS WITH THE BOY FOR HIS ADVICE. AFTER 5 DAYS THE MPOTHER RETURNED WITH THE BOY.NOW SRK ADVICED THE BOY TO AVOID TOO MANY SWEETS. THE MOTHER ASKED "YOU COULD HAVE SAID THIS 5 DAYS EARLIER". FOR THAT SRK REPLIED THAT 5 DAYS BEFORE HE HIMSELF WAS EATING TOO MUCH SWEETS. SRK PRACTICED FOR 5 DAYS AND THEN ADVISED! SO MERE ADVICE FROM PERSONS WHO ARE NOT PRACTICING THE SAME THEMSELVES WILL NOT BE HEEDED BY OTHERS.
