This is a fine example of "chit bhi meri, pat bhi meri" which in Hindi translates to "heads I win, tails I win".

That saying exists in English, with a (in my opinion) more pleasing phrasing: heads, I win; tails, you lose.

Not sure why you're being downvoted – this is a perfectly interesting fact.

Presumably the words "chit" and "pat" don't literally mean "heads" and "tails", though, even if they correspond to those sides? If not, what do they mean?
