We tend to make the sardarjis the butt of jokes, but let us also know that they are very intelligent guys as thes instances will show.
NASA inthe United States was facing a severe problem. Their launch pad malfunctioned and no spacecraft could take off. Their best scientist, engineers and technicians had tried and failed. The rockets would not thrust the space capsule into orbit.
NASA advertised a big reward for anyone who could solve the problem.
Along came this suburban Sardar from Punjab. He went round the launch pad, checked up the launcher, asked about the fuel supply and the system of combustion if any, etc and was in deep thought for some time. After a while he asked, if NASA had a crane large enough to tilt the launch pad sideways.
A crane was brought and the Sardar instructed that the rocket launcher be tilted first to the left and then to the right a number of times. After about eight or ten tilts, he said that the crane now be removed.
He asked the technicians to ask the crew to board the space craft. and once the crew were ready, he ordered the blast off. Lo and behold the launch was successfully accomplished. all the scientist in NASA wer full of praise for the Sardar and they wanted to know how he solved the problem.
Replied the Sardatr, "Koi Gal Nahi. Jab meri Scooter na chale tho hum yahi karte." (No big problem. When my scooter does not start, this is what I do)
