2. These Doctors
A doctor got a call from a very excited woman, "Doctor, My son has just
swallowed the
aspirins, what shall I do? He replied, - "Give him a headache, what else?"

Once a doctor got a telephone call in the middle of night. The caller
sounded very excited.
"Doctor, please come at once. My wife is in a great pain and I am sure it
is appendicitis." he said. The doctor assured him that there was no
need to panic and he would come in the morning.
The man protested - "But doctor, my wife is really serious."
The doctor replied - "I took out your wife's appendix two years ago. She
cannot have another one."
The caller protested - "That is alright Doctor, but now I have got another
wife!"
------------ --------- -----
"Hurry!", the doctor commanded his teenage daughter. Put my stethoscope
and medicine box in my car. That was an emergency call from someone who
told that he would die if I do not turn up immediately." "Papa, that call
was not for you but for me." replied the girl saucily.

This older man was on the operating table awaiting surgery and he insisted
that his son, a renowned surgeon, should perform the operation. As he was
about to receive the anesthesia he requested to speak to his son.
"Yes Dad, what is it?" "Don't be nervous, Son, do your best and just
remember, if it does not go well and if something happens to me, your
mother is going to come and live with you and your wife.

A young woman was not feeling well, and asked one of her co-workers to
recommend a physician for her. "I know a great one in the city, but he is
very expensive. A thousand bucks for the first visit, and five hundred for
each one after that."
The woman went to the doctor's office and, trying to save a little
money, cheerily announced, I am back! Not fooled for a second, the doctor
quickly examined her and said, "Very good, just continue the treatment I
prescribed on your last visit."
If Long ago a knowledgeable scholar, Dr Dastur Dhalla, Head Priest of
the
then Karachi of pre partition days; of Pahlavi, the ancient language of
Zoroastrians, and Sanskrit, used to say, 'Sapta Sindhu, hafta Hindu'.
Sapt I think in Sanskrit means 7, haft in Farsi also means 7.
Does this mean the Indus had 7 tributaries, of which 2 have dried away
and 5 remain?
I also remember a discussion someplace where old maps were shown with
the dried out river beds. Any Indo Asian scholars on the forum care to
comment?
---------------------------
What impression I have is just as Panjaab is the Land of Five Rivers, Sapt
Sindhu means the Land of Seven Rivers, which is Sindh.
The seven rivers here are : Sindhu, Satlaj, Raavi, Jhelum, Chinaab, Byaas,
and Saraswatee ( now dried up at surface level, but sub-terrainian flow is
confirmed ). All six merge into to make one river, Sindhu or Indus, which
eventually meets the Arabian Sea.
More on Sindhu waters from the one who loved irrigation engineering
more than anything in the world during his final year B.E.
After flowing some 200 kms into the Indian territory where the Jhelum
originates, it traverses across Kashmeer passing through Srinagar and
Walur Lake. In our
Kashmeer it crosses the border to enter the POK wherein it is joined by
the Poonch river. Downstream it enters West Punjab, irrigating
agricultural fields of the plains. Then on, little south, it ends separate
entity in a confluence with the Chenaab in Paak Panjaab's district Jhang.
Further downstream, the Chenaab merges with the Satlaj (also from Indian
territory of Panjaab on the upstream) to form Panchnad river which
ultimately loses her identity on merger with the Sindhu river at Mithankot,
Paakistaan. And down south flows the mighty Indus ........ more on our
Mother India, now captive in the hands of ... later.

If the Arabs lay down their weapons, there will be peace.
If the Israelis lay down their weapons, there will be no more Israel.
The fact is a Hindu feels no bond with another Hindu, and for this failure
one can lay square blame on the text and tenets of the religion.
For a Hindu, he comes first, his regional rituals next, his caste next -
his religion is sum total of that and nothing more.
