15 August and the chai-pani(bribery)trend

It is a bit cool and windy today.It was 15 Aug 1947 when the partition took place.It is said that it rained heavily that day.The cool evening wind is a relief from the punishing heat of the summer but at the same time it seems to be telling a story from the history.Perhaps a sad story.Today I paid Rs 50 to the neighbour for getting the electric wire of our houses from the desired side.I had promised him to share the chai-pani expenses that he would give to the department workers.Chai-pani is the other word for bribe and it means tea and water expenses.He may or may not have given anything but I had to keep the promise.Bribe is perhaps a very normal thing in Punjab.

Foreign bug

People of Jagraon are crazy to fly to a foreign country.IELTS is a new route to get foreign visa.Girls who can write an essay on my best friend want to clear this international English test and go abroad.Every boy and girl dreams to marry an NRI and settle abroad.
