ρυηנαвι тяαηѕℓαтιση: ηυяѕєяy янyмєѕ......

ρυηנαвι тяαηѕℓαтιση: ηυяѕєяy янyмєѕ......

I - Original:
'***** cat ***** cat, where have you been?'
'I have been to London to see the Queen'
'***** cat ***** cat what did you there?'
'I frightened a little mouse under the chair!'


Punjabi Translation:

'Mano Billi, Mano Billi, kithe gai si?'
'Rani Ji nu milan main vilayat gai si'
'Ki chan chareya tu othe ja ke?'
'Ghar wapis aa gai main chuhe kha ke!'


II - Original

'Baa Baa Black sheep have you any wool?'
'Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full
One for the master, one for the dame, And one for the
little boy who lives
down the lane.'


Punjabi Translation:

'Kali Bhed, Kali Bhed, hai kucch unn?'
'Haan bhai,Haan bhai, Tin pandan gin, Ek tere waste,
ek teri woti lai Ek us
munde lai jehra khara raste'.



III - Original

Humphty Dumphty sat on a wall,
Humphty Dumphty had a great fall,
All the kings' horses, all the kings' men Couldn't put
Humphty Dumphty
together again


Punjabi Translation:

Baba Karnail Singh baitha si Dukaan te'
Baba Karnail Singh diggya dhadam se, Pind de log phir
aa ke kehan lagge,
Baba Karnail Singh te gaya hun kaam se.

~## Contemporary Woman! ##~

~## Contemporary Woman! ##~

I understand that





She is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;

Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as
Human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements;

one, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as
much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

one, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people
who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your
family name;

one, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you
sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment
and that kitchen;

one, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and
cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are,
maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain;

to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to;

and is learning just like you are
as to what you want from her;

and is clumsy and sloppy at times
and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she
learns faster than you;

one, who has her own set of friends,
and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she
knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the
back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition
and your inherent insecurities;

yes, she can drink and dance
just as well as you can, but won't,
simply because you won't like it,
even though you say otherwise

one, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like
yours, are to be met;

one, who is doing her level best
and wants to make this most important relationship in her entire life a
grand success, if you just help her some and trust her;

one, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she
knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities
and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this still...
