Around 10 years ago (maybe 2014-2016), my school had a comedy skit for raising awareness against fake saints/godmen. It had a funny parody bhajan-style song in the background.

Some lines I still remember:

Om jai baba Padad Pola… Par de pado se hamaara jhola… Aisa mantar maaru, Aisa mantar maaru

Majh deve coca cola..​

“Padad” in Punjabi basically means someone who farts a lot 😭 so the baba name itself was a joke.

I’ve searched online but can’t find anything. Was this a common Punjabi school skit/song back then or was it just locally made by teachers/students?

If anyone remembers more lyrics, has a video, or knows the original skit/song, please tell me. This randomly came back to my mind after 10 years lol.

I’m currently trying to decide my UPSC optional subject and I’m feeling genuinely confused. My academic background is in Physics, so naturally Physics seems like the logical choice. I went through some previous year questions, and honestly the questions themselves did not look impossible. They seemed manageable at first glance. However, my real concern is not understanding the questions it is writing high-quality 10 and 20 mark answers in exam conditions. I feel that in Physics, knowing the concept and actually presenting a complete scoring answer with derivations, steps, diagrams, clarity, and time management are two very different things. Because of that, I’m considering subjects like PSIR or Anthropology, since many people call them more standard or safer optionals. But then I also worry that leaving a subject I studied in graduation may be a mistake. So I feel stuck between:

Physics: familiar subject, existing base, but difficult answer writing and technical demands

PSIR: overlap with GS/current affairs, but new subject for me

Anthropology: popular and considered manageable, but again new subject

Anyone had a science background and faced a similar dilemma, what did you choose and how did it turn out? Honest advice would really help.
