Daily Inspiration Quote by Navjot Singh Sidhu

Dining with a demon is Sidhu at peak Punjabi-uncle-with-a-mic: earthy, theatrical, and practical in the same breath. The line lands because it turns moral danger into table manners. Instead of preaching about corruption or bad company, it gives you an image you can feel in your hand: a spoon stretched long enough to keep your fingers out of the fire. That physical comedy is the hook, but the warning is real.

Sidhu’s intent is less about exorcising evil than surviving proximity to it. The demon isn’t always supernatural; it’s the powerful, the unscrupulous, the deal you know you shouldn’t take but can’t quite refuse. “Dining” implies consent and comfort - you’re not battling the demon, you’re sharing a meal. That’s the subtext: people don’t usually stumble into compromise; they negotiate with it, laugh with it, accept its hospitality. The “long spoon” becomes the boundary you set when you can’t (or won’t) walk away: distance, precautions, terms, witnesses, exit plans.

As an entertainer-politician known for punchy one-liners, Sidhu speaks in proverb because proverbs travel. They work on TV, in rallies, in WhatsApp forwards - a portable ethics toolkit for messy real life. The cynicism is quiet but firm: you may have to sit at the table, but don’t mistake that for trust. Keep your reach, keep your space, keep your leverage.
