**Surinder’s uncle was booked into an SIA flight to Bombay. But as this was his first time in an airplane, he made a few preparations that were out of place. When the stewardess came around to take orders for the in-flight meal, the uncle declared loudly, “I have brought my own lunch. Make sure you don’t charge me for food and drinks!” **
**So, as everybody was given their in-flight meal, the uncle began spreading out his own home-cooked meal. The man sitting next to him was an American history researcher, who was curious about the food.
“Excuse me, what is that drink?” he asked. **
**
The uncle picked up the yogurt-based lassi drink and said, “Milk of India!” **
**The the uncle took out several pieces of chapattis and started feasting.
“And what is that dish?” asked the curious American. **
**
“Wheat of India!” replied the uncle proudly. **
**Finally, the uncle took out some desserts. He offered some to the American. **
**
“What is it?” asked the American. **
**
“Sweet of India!” replied the old man. **
After the meal, everyone was settling down when there was a loud “Pooooooooot!” from the uncle. **
**
“What was that?” asked the American in disgust. **
**
The old man replied coolly, “That’s Air India!”
