Dhar said he got this phrase from his childhood memories. He said that when he was a small kid he had many friends from defense background with whom he used to go to Army clubs. One army club was in Delhi where Dhar visited every Christmas and New Year. 'In that club there used to be a retired Brigadier who used to line up all kids and had chocolates in his hand. He would say, How's the Josh?' and we were to respond  High Sir.' The kid who was the loudest got the chocolates. Further he said, that he loved chocolates so much that he always used to be the loudest and win everytime.
