NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the nation at 5pm on Sunday.

Mitron, after watching, listening to and digesting the 5 pm address of PM, now I fully understand the real meaning of GST. It means Gaannddkagobar Saaf Takatakk. GST. Mitron, desh-wasiyon, devta-jaise-nagrik, Gujju Chowkidaar Chaiwala has just shared with the nation a wonderful dessert recipe for the coming festival season. How to make Gajar Ka Halwa? After doing 'GST', insert one big fat long thick stick-like gaajar (carrot) in between your bams from behind. Keep it until the heat inside (generated by decades-long anger against Nautanki Feku) cooks the stick-like carrot gaajar in a jiffy (won't take longer than 23 seconds). Then dip the carrot into brown sugar syrup. This instant carrot-and-stick dessert (Neo Gajar Halwa) will sweeten your GST Utsav season, Mitron.Read allPost comment
