Pillay (a tamilian) has always been impressed by the Punjabi language. One day he asks Banta Singh if he would teach him 'Punjabi'. As he wants to join the 'Macho' league.
Banta Singh breaks into a fit of laughter ..... and ridicules Mr. Pillay. "Have you ever heard of a Madarasi speaking Punjabi, aayeeo ji"(basically tells him to F.O)
Pillay takes Banta's comments seriously. In the months that follow, he studies many 'Tamil to Punjabi' books, listens to tapes, watches videos, travels to Punjab, et all.
Banta Singh goes to Pillay's office 3 Months after the brush off, here's the conversation that follows:-
Pillay:- "Oh kee haal hai Banta Singh, asi bhi sekh litee hai Punjabi"
Banta:- (is quite amazed) "accha, tera test laiye" (should I take a test)?
Pillay:- "lao ji, test lao"
Banta Singh looks around Mr. Pillay's Office, and upon finding the inkpot, spills the contents on an open ledger. He say's to Pillay.
"you walk into your office, and this is what you see, ink on your ledger. What would you say to your staff in Punjabi"?
Pillay:- "I would say ... eh siaahi kes ne ledger te dole hai"!
Banta:- "Wrong"!
Pillya:- "how about .... err... kis ne girai hai Siaahi mere ledger te"?
Banta :- "Wrong again, in proper punjabi you would say..... oee eh keene Maa choodae hai"?
