Interview

One young man went for an Interview.
"When did India get independence?" He was asked.
"The efforts began a few years earlier and final result was in 1947" He replied.
"Who was responsible for our independence?"
"There were so many. Whom to mention? If I name one it will be a injustice to another." He replied.
"Is corruption the number one enemy in our country?"
"Some research is going on the subject and I can answer with certainty only after seeing the report" He replied.
The interview board was very pleased with his answers and asked him not to reveal the questions, since they were planning to ask the same questions.

When he went out naturally others were curious to know what was asked. He politely declined, but Santa Singh did not leave him.
"At least tell me the answers" he pleaded, and young man obliged. Then it was the turn of Santa. When he went inside, since his resume was slightly illegible, the board member asked him.
"By the way, what is your date of birth?" He replied, "The effort began a few years earlier and final result was in 1947."
Somewhat puzzled, they asked another clarification. "What is your father’s name?"
He replied, "There were so many. Whom to mention". If I name one it will be injustice to another".
The interviewer was incensed. "Hey! are you mad or what?"
He replied. "Some research is going on the subject. I can answer with certainty only after seeing the report."

Garbhavati

The Young Brahmin asked, "Is it true, that your daughter has all the good qualities and pleasing looks?"
The old brahmin answered, "Haan! More that that, she is Sundara Vati and Padma Vati!"
"But, can she cook and keep house? "Asked the young man.
"Oh yes, she is Dharma Vati! "answered the old man.
"Now, can she sew? "asked the young man.
"Oh yes. . . .yes, she can not only sew, but she is KalaVati!" answered the old man.
"What about her education?" asked the young man.
"She is Vidya Vati!" answered the old man.
"And the Vedas?" asked the young man"Oh yes. . . .yes, she is Veda Vati!" answered the old man.
The young man is very happy to find the perfect bride and gets married to her. Two days later, he comes back with his newly married bride in town. The old Brahmin is surprised.
He asks, "What happened, my son?" Why do you look so upset?
The young man says, "Well sir, you told me that your daughter is already a Sundara Vati, Padma Vati, Dharma Vati, Kala Vati, Vidya Vati and a Veda Vati?"
"Yes, my son- I certainly did" replies the old man.
"But Sir- you forgot to tell me that, she is also already a 'GarbhaVati'!!!"
"About that you didn't asked!!" The old man replied…
