I was last in delhi four years back,
I remember there was a minor commotion around connaught circus and a crowd

had collected. So i went to take a look,
and in the clearing in the centre of the crowd there were two sardarjis
(god bless
them...) having a fist fight over a
scooter accident (a minor fender bender involving two bajaj scooters...).

the funniest thing was they had kicked
off their turbans, their hair had come loose, and they were slapping each
other in 
the way liitle girls fight in school
little girls in school.... Most people were watching and laughing.

It required the intervention of another
pious sardar to remind the two gladiators of their 'izzat'. They then shook
hands
as if nothing had happened and drove
off.
