once a sardar was travelling on a trrain. Gary Kasprov ,the world chess master, was travelling on the same train with the Sardar and was sitting next to him. Since the journey was very long, kasprov asked Sardar to a game of chess to kill some time. "No, never," said the Sardar,"you are going to win in three or four move. I know who you are."
"I will play left handed," said the champion.
so the Sardar played him, and Kasprov got him in four moves.
Sardar was very disappointed with the result."how can he beat me left handed," he asked himself.
when he reached home, he was still sad. Sardar's brother asked," why are you so sad." and the sardar told him the whole story. "you see you made a mistake," the brother said," you should not have had asked kasprov to play left handed." "why?"asked the Sardar. "well you should have known that he IS left handed."
the game of snakes and ladders captures the eternal truth that for every ladder there is a snake waiting around the corner. and for every snake there a ladder will compensate.
