Translated into english for the benefit of our non-hindi friends!

Kid: Daddy Daddy, tell me a story
Daddy: OK kid, heres your story. (If a measly story can put you to bed and help me finish
my vodka in peace with my booze-buddies then here goes, murmurs Daddy)
Daddy: Once there was a thought, there was a dream.
Kid: What? I cant hear you. Your voice keeps cracking up..
Daddy Shouts: There was a thought, a THOUGHT. Heard that?
Kid: Ya, dont shout Dad, I feel scared.
Daddy: OK OK. There was a thought, a dream.
Kid: Where was this dream daddy?
Daddy: This was in the head of a man who sold petroleum and in the heads his two sons.
Kid: Did they three dream together?
Daddy: No, the dad dreamed first, with his primary school head. His kids just nodded their Harvard educated heads in agreement.
Kid: What did their daddy dream?
Daddy: I dont know what their daddy dreamed. But after their daddy died, the kids said in Hindi - Mere baap ka sapna, sabka maal apna. (My dads dream, everybody’s money is my money!)
Kid: So what did they do to fulfil their dream?
Daddy: They decided to give phones to every hand in India. Those hands that needed their phone would have to first hand out loads of money and a commitment to be a customer for three years.
Kid: Then what happened?
Daddy: The poor customers fell right into the petroleum brothers trap. They got trapped with their CDMA phones, poor network, crackling voices on their phones, and ever-changing tarriffs. What was free was not free anymore. What was promised vanished into thin air.
Kid: DId somebody save the poor customers?
Daddy: No beta. Alas! All saviours were already bonded customers of the petroleum brothers!
Kid: Dont worry dad. When I grow up I will fight the petroleum brothers and save the poor customers!
Daddy: Save me first from them son, Im your poor daddy.
Kid: OK daddy. I will. Good night
Daddy: Good night son.

Daddy: Hey chum, get me another large vodka. My throat is all dry and thanks to my spoilt brat of a kid, I cant bear to think of my phone bill. Help me forget my miseries guys!
