Anyone who knows me, and says that they have never heard me tell them a sardar joke, is a biiiig LIAR!! I can't go through a day without making ppl laugh and i usually achieve this through a sardar (Santa-Banta type) joke. I believe jokes are the best way to break the ice and it always works for me 
.....and i do narrate jokes which are non-sardar ones too...Hey, not that i have anything against the community (i'm the last person to have anything against any community)....my two closest friends in college are surdis and i looooooove them...and tell them jokes too! (They don mind)...And well...now i am one too...
Yeah...that's the "revelation"...just imagine...after nearly 20 (TWENTY!!) odd years of my life, my grandma just suddenly, out of the blue, tells me that she's a sardarni!!!
i was real shocked...that's coz everyone (and i mean, EVERYONE) in my family seemed to know it, other than me...i mean, where the hell was i all these years??!!??I went, "WHAT!!! How come u never told me before??!!"
and she goes, "I thought u already knew...everybody else does..."
So her being a surdy makes my mom 50% surd, and so, according to my calculations, genetically, i come to be 25% surdy!!!
Ha that's cool....now before u fold ur hands and start thanking God ("Oh Lord, Thou hast saved me from more sardar PJs") lemme tell u that now i'm gonna say even more of them!! Coz now no one can say,"Nidhi, don be mean to sardars" as i am one myself (well, atleast 25% of me is, hehe)...anyway, this revelation didn shock me too much, coz i have done quite a lot of surdy things in my life, here's one (coz it stands out in my memory)....This was 3 years back when i was in school...my dad was going to some place near my school and so he offered to drop me somewhere near school on his two-wheeler...there being a lot of traffic, he dropped me in the middle of the road...i grabbed my bag and dashed across the crossing in order to get into a public bus (which, if u happen to miss one in Kolkata, the next one arrives after about 20 minutes,
lolz)...Ya...so as i was saying, i got into the bus...things were quite ok till i started noticing that the people in the bus were giving me weird looks...i was wondering what was wrong with them
(it never occurred to me, of course, that there could be something wrong with me, hehe)...so i concluded that everyone was in the mood to stare and thought nothing of it...but people still continued to stare and some looked positively shocked!! Then the bus happened to pass over a speedbreaker and i bumped my head on the ceiling of the bus (no, i'm not that tall, only the bus was a minibus)...and it was then that i noticed something weird...i noticed that i hadn't hurt my head...and i was wondering why....and then i realised..............
....................................................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
.....................................................................................................................................
.........................................well, i was still, 10 minutes after my dad had left me on his scooter, WEARING THE HELMET!!! And i HADN'T EVEN NOTICED IT ALLLLL THIS TIME!!!!
"How dumb can someone get??" u may think...i'll tell u exactly how much dumber i can get. After my grand realisation, what did i do? I took it off.....and laughed all the way to school (which was another 10 minutes)...and everyone started staring all the more...one gentleman even got up and offered his seat to me...he must have been wondering..."God knows which mental asylum she just escaped from...???"And on reaching school, everyone kept asking me why i was carrying a helmet and i had to repeat the story over 27 times and well, as u can guess...everyone had a good laugh... including my family, later in the day...
Well what more proof do i need to show that i'm 25% sardar??!!
NOTE: NO OFFENCE MEANT TO ANY COMMUNITY...PEACE
