Best wishes on a `hartal day'

SMS jokes are reflecting on the socio-political realities of the State. They make fun of anything under the sun. Now, it is the hartal that has caught the fancy of the SMS joke makers.

A joke that did the rounds on Friday greeted all `Malayalis on their national holiday, hartal.'

"It is the festival of sacrifice, love and peace. Wish you a happy and prosperous hartal," greeted the message.
