It's true....

We all love Pathaan jokes. But do you know that Pathaans are one of the hardest working prosperous and diversified communities in the world.

My friend told me about the following incident which I wish to share with you. It has had a deep impact on my thinking.

During last vacation, his few friends came to Islamabaad. They rented a taxi for local sight-seeing. The driver was an old Pathaan and boys being boys, these pals began cracking Pathaan jokes, just to tease the old man.

But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed.

At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid the cab hire-charges. The Sardar returned the change, but he gave each one of them one rupee extra and said,

''Son, since morning you have been telling jokes related to pathaan. I listened to them all and let me tell you, some of them were in bad taste. Still, I don't mind coz I know that you are young blood and are yet to see the world.. But I have one request. I am giving you one rupee each. Give it to the first Pathaan beggar that you come across in this or any other city.'

My friend continued,* ' That one rupee is still with me. I couldn't find a single Pathaan begging anywhere.'

MORAL:

The secret behind their universal success, is their willingness to do any job with utmost dedication and pride. A Pathaan will drive a truck or set up a roadside garage or a Rayri or dhaaba whateva u name it, put a fruit juice stall, take up small time jobs at a tire shop, ... but he will never beg on the streets.
