Hi! I'm a Punjabi and Bollywood paints me true.

Arent we sick of stereotypes already, where just cause you're a Punjabi, you have to be an obnoxious dancer, start drinking at sunset and while you're at it, obnoxiously sing about it as well!

Ajay Devgan firstly, in my books would never pass off being punjabi, secondly - just a lot of 'WHY'S?!!!'

So here are two songs which talk about the orbit and it's ecliptic plane, how the earth completes it's rotation, as a result of which Suraj goes asth and its subsequent impact on punjabi's going mast! 

What a revolution, I say!

Just to fill your thought bubbles: 

Lyrics of song 1, Movie 'What the Fish' :
"Suraj asth hua, te baabe mast hua, 
Phir kaake pairon ka, dance zabbardast hua!" 

Lyrics of song 2, Movie 'Action Jackson (what the fish man!)' :
"Surya asth, punjabi mast
Na pilana punjabiyon ko naap tol ke, 
Dilwaale hain, peetein hain yeh dil khol ke"

And anyway on one hand, we're shutting liquor stores, and declaring some states as 'Dry', while Bollywood continues to pom pom about how cool it is to be an alcohol soaked paapad! Why can't Punjabi's talk about 'Lovely Professional University' or 'Sarson da saag, make di roti' if you must, while on cliches. 

Koorgi's and Punjabi's to me are brothers in spirit, though i have yet to see a Koorgi sing and dance about it in alcohol support groups.
