jha ji speaks

“Eureka”, I jumped out of my chair, leapt into the air and caught Jha ji. OK, Jha is his surname but I won’t tell you the name for the heck of it.
“What happened”, Jha ji asked
“I just discovered the biggest asshole of the world”, I said
“Who?”
“You”
Jha ji blinked. “Why do you say that Tiru ji?”
“yes, a person who invests in shares when it is at the peak and then complains about the price going down has to be an asshole, and you are the biggest one as you said you read in a magazine that the share is at the peak of the month and you still bought it”
“But the magazine recommended it as the peak” Jha ji was perplexed.
“Then the magazine too is written by assholes”
“No it is not tiru ji”
“Ok then Jha ji, tell me which magazine recommends to buy something which is at the peak of something. Don’t you know that in bullish market something at peak is always dangerous?”
“Tani rukiye tiru ji, abhi hum aapko dikhate hain, let me show you”
Jha ji produced the magazine in few moments. I face-palmed when I saw the page on which it was boldly written “Pick of the month”
These biharis smoothen out the hard syllables and ‘pick’ becomes ‘peak’
Jha ji speaks: Jha ji recently recommended me to join ‘Bajeeram’ coaching institute. ‘Bajee”? something to do with betting. No…..you have to think hard. It’s actually ‘Vajiram’.
