We started this business 2 days before
the Indo-Pak war in 1965
We started as street hawkers
in 1965
My father and I used to work together there
I have washed the dishes all by myself for years
Then eventually I started cooking for the customers
In the 21st century our fighter-jets have a colour on them
They used to be silver in colour during those times
We used to run to the terrace to see them fly over us
as kids
We have also seen Pakistani fighter-jets flying
They used to declare blackouts
Everyone used to abide by the regulations
They also announced that no one should smoke
Because apparently the flames could be seen from the sky
Everyone supported each other during the war
And we were victorious
In 1965, Pakistan attacked Khemkaran
using Patton Tanks
Our Sikh Regiment responded befittingly
They chanted "Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal
Deg Teg Fateh and destroyed 97 Patton Tanks
and parked them near Bhikhiwind Chowk  for the civilians to take pride
We also brought a bus from Lahore
and parked it in near Hall Gate
They news channels told their audience that their military has captured Amritsar
and that they have already started the public transport service in Amritsar
and that we have detached the clock from Hall Gate
We used to laugh at their lies
VIllagers supported the Indian Army
Golden Temple's Langar used to be sent for our soldiers
Army had modified WIlly Jeeps
They had installed two cannons at the front and two at the back
Farmer's kids supported them through and through
and we won the battle
A Pakistani Plane at the time
trespassed and announced
that he will destroy Amritsar that very day
Our soldiers fought and destroyed his plane instead
That plane fell in Tapai
We went to see it and the pilot was dead
They couldnt do much against the Indian Army
We didnt even let them move an inch
They realised what Indians are made of
Extra Langar used to be cooked for our soldiers and sent to the border
The army-men used to be so happy eating Guru Ka Langar
They used to thank Guru Ram Das ji for the food and the blessings
We are proud of and thankful to the Indian Army
For they sacrificed lives but kept our dignity alive
