Bandh!

(1) Teaching a lesson:
Teacher: Who said ‘What’s in a name’?
Student: Shakespeare, sir.
Teacher: Who contradicted it?
Student: Didi, sir.
Teacher: What did she say?
Student: What’s not in a name?

(2)Law of Nature!
Son: Didi accuses joint forces are helping CPM in the name
of flushing out Maoists in Jangal Mahal.
Dad: How?
Son: Joint forces are, in fact, evacuating the villagers and CPM are
occupying their place.
Dad: It’s quite natural, my boy.
Son: Why dad?
Dad: Because Nature never tolerates vacuum.

(3)Bandh!
Son: Political parties have called bandh to protest against price-hike
of fuels.
Dad: Yes, my son.
Son: Dad, do you think it’ll help check the price-hike?
Dad: Definitely not, my son.
Son: Then what’s the utility of such bandhs?
Dad: It would at least save fuel for a day, my boy.
