Hindi Surnames
Our typical bhaaiyaji (from UP) was away from his family for about 4 years while his wife was in Jaunpur (UP). At the end of 4 years he happily distributed sweets to his colleagues in office stating that his wife had delivered a son. His colleagues were quite shocked and they asked how this "happy event" happened when he had not seen his wife for four years. The man said it is common in UP that neighbours take care of the wife (good Samaritans) when men are away. The colleagues asked him,"What name will you give to the son?" The man explained, "If its the second neighbour who has taken care,then the name would be DWIVEDI; if it is the third neighbour then it would be TRIVEDI, If it is the fourth neighbour then it would be CHATURVEDI.If its the fifth neighbour then it would be PANDEY. After listening to this, questions followed. What if it is a mixture of neighbours? "Then the boy would be named MISHRA". And what if the wife is too shy to tell the name of the neighbour? "Then it would be SHARMA". But what if she refuses to divulge the name of the "Then the name of the child would be GUPTA". If she does not remember the name then? "It is YAAD-AV. But who knows whether the child resulted from a rape? "Then it will be named DOSHI". Finally, if the child happened because of wife's burning desire for sex, then he will be named JOSHI.
