This is an incident which was narrated by someone who keeps me in splits always,however I would admit that my comprehension of Punjabi is slow but something does infiltrate in the grey matter .
P and family have an old retainer ( flashback to 1950's .. b/w era please) who is a dying breed of this kind of helpers who cook clean and can do anything.. one just has to call him and he will do his ji hazoori.. Let's call him B the indispensable who was being served tea in a house where a wedding was taking place , sec 37 . The lady of the house served him a mix of milk and water and something. He was aghast, taken back that , Bibiji had given him a tabeet ( amulet containing magic and superstitious powers) in the tea.
This poor simpleton was served tea with a tea bag which he likened to a tablet. He thought that she was trying to influence him with black magic.
