Unjokes-> a beginners guide

A friend of mine by the name Ramasubramanium wants me to make a collection of my unjokes online so that people have access to them. Well, before I start with unjokes, let me introduce you to the concept of unjokes. Unjokes is a genre of humor which consists of jokes which are funny for the reason that they are not funny at all. And since the victim of the joke is waiting for something to happen, he is schocked by the end that nothing has happened.

Well, let us start with a dose of unjokes.

UJ1: There are four people talking.
1: My father is very tall. He is 7' tall.
2: This is nothing, my father is 8' tall
3: My father is 9' tall.
4: Ok

Yes, this is how the joke ends, by the end of this you would have realised it is very funny only because it is not funny. The best source of unjokes are generally champak and Chacha Chaudhary comics.

Now presenting to you the unjoke trilogy (thanks to Shorty and Neha who cracked this one for me)
UJ2(A trilogy):
q) What is blue and goes ding dong ding dong?
a) it is a bell, the blue was just to confuse.
q) What is black and goes ding dong ding dong?
a) it ia hair, the ding dong was just to confuse.
q) What is silver and goes ding dong ding dong?
a) it is me, silver and ding dong were to confuse.

UJ3: Now we have reached a decent level of unjokes. So let me go ahead with the next unjoke.

There was a lame person. He wanted to have a darshan of santoshi mata in vaishnodevi. When he was about to commence his journey he sees a group of pilgrims coming down.
Pilgrims: You are crippled, the path is very torturous, it was tough for us, you won't be able to make it, go back.
Lame: Well, I have full enthu, I am fulla confident. I will surely make it.
Pilgrims: Ok,carry on best of luck

He goes ahead and another set of pilgrims come.
Pilgrims: You are crippled, the path is very torturous, it was tough for us, you won't be able to make it, go back.
Lame: Well, I have full enthu, I am fulla confident. I will surely make it.
Pilgrims: Ok,carry on best of luck

He traverses more distance when he finds another set of pilgrims.

Pilgrims: You are crippled, the path is very torturous, it was tough for us, you won't be able to make it, go back.
Lame: Well, I have full enthu, I am fulla confident. I will surely make it.
Pilgrims: Ok,carry on best of luck

He traverses more distance when he finds a rishi.

Rishi: I am very pleased by your enthusiasm. I want to bless you for this. I shall reveal to you a route which would lead you to the top without being painful.
Lame: Thanks a lot, sir. Please show me the route.
The rishi reveals to him the route.

The route is beautiful, it is a garden with a special way for lame persons. And what more he had fruits on his way. He also met a surd kid on the way.
Lame: A for?
Sardar Kid: Apple
Lame: Jor se bolo
Sardar Kid:Jai Mata di.
There is a samose shop on the way as well, which is quite brilliant. Amidst all this joy etc. he reaches the top. When he reaches the top, a lightning strikes him and he is dead.

UJ4:
Sardar 1: Meri beti jawaan ho gayi hai
Sardar 2: To use border par bhej na

UJ 5:
q) What is koo hoo koo hoo dhik chik dhik chik?
a) It is a koel song remixed.

No enthu to type more, will be back soon with more entries

Wild Strawberries

Cynicism has left the old man all alone, he feels loneliness for the first time( I guess) at the age of 74, he is a doctor with 50 years of service now. Now he finds that he is all alone. His fiance left him when he was young to marry a brother of his. His knowledge, the doctor's intution is failing him now. He realises he has done no good for his son. He is guilty of neglecting his wife, being too cynical. He is guilty of being stone-cold towards his mother.

I hope people don't need to turn 74 to realise what they have lost out on at any point of time. An achievement is all but a moment. There are so many moments of happiness which one need not sacrifice for a moment of glory. But well, taht might be my priority and people do have different priorities. When all things fail you, it is the people around you, the goodwill you have built for yourself that shall stay with you forever. (shown in the movie)
