Am I right? Waiting for your next episode.

Thanks for your comment and giving etymological origin of the word 'tasu' and also equivalent phrase for 'Jack of all' in other languages. I think that 'Jacks of all' can be categorized in two divisions; one, real and the other, self-conceited. The latter may sometimes prove to be troublesome if followed blindly. Regards, Valibhai Musa Dear Karimbhai,
I appreciate your general knowledge. Thanks for your comment and giving etymological origin of the word ‘tasu’ and also equivalent phrase for ‘Jack of all’ in other languages. I think that ‘Jacks of all’ can be categorized in two divisions; one, real and the other, self-conceited. The latter may sometimes prove to be troublesome if followed blindly.

Till date, I was of the mind that one gaj is equal to one yard, and so I referred the Guj. dictionary and found that Valibhai was right. Most of the people take a gaj for a yard (3 feet). Let me add here that this is a Persian word which means a measurement of 24 Tasu (tavssuh in Persian) and one Tasu is equal to one inch. Thanks to Valibhai that I could correct my knowledge and add up also. Jack of all means Her-Fun-Maula in Urdu and Persian, and such persons sometimes save our time and toil when they come forward with their unexpected advice/suggestion when we are in utter confusion. There is no scarcity of such people as God loves them more and so He produces them more according to R.Tagore. A very funny but interesting write-up.
