I dropped in for lunch at my friend Commander (later Rear Admiral) Raj Choudhrys house in Netaji Nagar. He had visitors, a father and son from his native Bulandshair, The father was asking Raj very direct questions. I was watching Raj fielding the cross examination, fascinated. Father- Tum Fauj me kam karte ho? Raj- Jee ha, mei Navy me Commander hum, Father- Acha Naukri hai? Raj- Jee ha, acha kaam hai. Father- Mahine mei kitna kamathe ho? Raj- Takreeban pandra sau rupiah Father; Upari amdani kitna hogi? Raj (with a straight face) Upari amdani Navy mei nahi hota hai, The old man did not believe Raj. He turned toward his son and remarked Ladka chalaak hai, bathatha nahi hai! Later, Raj explained to me that it was unthinkable for his rustic visitor to believe that there was a government servant who was not on the take! That is the image of Sarkari Naukar with our rural folk.
