The Jewish side of Me...

The Hindu Brahmin from Bangalore,
Participated in Jewish ceremonies four,
A memorial service, a burial, a Bat Mitzvah and an unveiling,
While Jim was rabbinically "hitting for the cycle" and winning
The Indian's adventures are now part of Marlboro folklore

Ask me about Hitting for the cycle bit! Over the weekend, one movie that brought back old memories was The Party, 1968 with Mr Hrundi V. Bakshi and his "Birdy Num Num" ... *I laughed till moi guts hurt*... Not to forget the idli sambhar and coconut chutney dinner night! Aah...

Sweety, is BAR Mitzvah, not BAT Mitzvah...that would be rather difficult to achieve :o)

Mr.Bakshi, the Birdy and Bathing the Elephant...Classic! :oD

shush! Dont talk back! Follow the link... even though it is from Wikipedia, it is true ;)
BAR = Boy
BAT = Girl

Thus the "traditional" roles for boys and girls all over the world have been defined!
Bar = alcohol in which to drown your sorrows as in "slumped at the Bar"
Bat = pinch hitter to solve all problems as in "going to Bat"
