Two jokers¹⁴

Once I was browsing in front of a bookstore. A Muslim saw me and recognised that I was a Hindu. Because my back was hurting, I placed my hand on my back. By way of joke he said, “Krishna, Krishna, Krishna!”

Then I started chanting, “Allah, Allah!”

He was invoking Krishna to save me and I was invoking Allah. We Indians are all jokers. Even when we suffer, we have to joke!
