"Zaleel (disgraced) Sahib, shall I bring tea?"

The famous Sindhi writer, Amar Jaleel Sahib, hired a Bengali cook in Islamabad. Now obviously, the man made excellent food, but the accent of his language was a bit different.

Whenever guests arrived, he would ask with great respect:

"Zaleel Sahib! Shall I bring tea?"

The guests' eyes would pop out, and Jaleel Sahib's forehead would break into a sweat.

Jaleel Sahib gently explained to him many times,

"Son! I am Jaleel… not Zaleel!"

But the man, with full confidence, would say the same every time:

"Zaleel Sahib, do you need anything else?"

Jaleel Sahib got fed up. Finally, another Bengali friend gave some advice,

"The problem is that we Bengali people pronounce 'J' as 'Z' and 'Z' as 'J'. You should write down your name as 'Zaleel' and give it to him, he will automatically learn to say Jaleel."

A ray of hope shined. He immediately wrote on a paper: Zaleel

Now it became amazing! Whenever the cook called him, he would say:

"Jaleel Sahib! Shall I bring tea?"

But the tone was somewhat satirical, as if he was suppressing a laugh in his heart.

Now Jaleel Sahib's problem had doubled because:

"Earlier he used to call me 'Zaleel' but understood me as Jaleel. Now he calls me 'Jaleel' but understands me as Zaleel!"
