Re: Nihangs in History

I do not how many of you know it. Nihangs do not purchase purchase tickets for travel in trains. Although there is no written rule, the railway authorities do not demand tickets from them.

Nihangs also have a very charming and disarming vocabulary of their own.

For eg. Tea is Dil Fookni (bellow for the heart)
Milk is Samundar (sea)
0ne is sava lakh (one lakh, twenty five thousand)
Oneself is Fauj (army)

etc etc

Where did you get the "housefly" because it is not on any of the lists? And I may be missing the joke, which I usually do. ;)
