Bhai Dayanand ko badhai...
Bhai Dayanand, this is my very first day in Jatland and the only worthwhile read has been your "Dharti Ke Lal". I wish to commend you for being the real Dharti Ka Lal yourself and writing in Devnagri and capturing the very essence of pastoral existence. May God grant you more strength. It is hubmle folks like you who will one day salvage the last vestiges of our Haryanvi culture while most of us will do the easier task of guffawing at Haryanvi jokes and drinking ourselves to stupor.
I am a Sikh born (Rohtak) and brought up (MNSS Rai; Jind; REC Kurukshetra) in Haryana. Most of my langotiye yaar are my school friends. These jats are fun, warm and very very talented. I consider it a matter of honor that they have conferred the status of a Jat.
I always credit the soil of my homeland, its spirited folk and great teachers in making me what I am today.
I will keep in touch. In the meanwhile...aap takhti kaali karte raho!
Sneh evam Shubhkaamnaon sahit,
Aapka agraj,
-MP
