Smart ass cops and IT

I’ve an interesting ‘Gajab cha baa’ moment to share folks. Its IT related, sort of. This dates back don’t know when. Apparently this colleague of mine was pursuing his merry business one fine morning in his motorbike. All of a sudden these policemen stop him for a check. It happened to be ‘sankat kaal’. The maoist were rampant everywhere. Our quiet friend was carrying a few books on programming languages and one of them happened to be on PHP. This smart ass cop pulls the book (red in color with yellow PHP text on it) out and looks as if he’s trying to make sense. The other cop standing by quickly makes a remark,”PHP lekya cha…k ho yo..PracHanda Path ho ki kya ho…..k ho bhai ..daari saari paalya cha …mao baadi ho ki kya ho”….then the first police adds…”raato cha kitaab pani….”. The poor programmer quickly replies,”Yo ta computer ko kitaap ho sir”, …..the cops shout in unison flicking the pages of the book over,”khoi computer ko kitaab bhanya hoina ta….euta pani computer ko chitra chaina”.........”utri bike bata….tero ramro sanga jaanch garna paryo….”.

Spare a thought what the situation have been like.
