In punjab at the time of vaisakhi when the crops were ready peices of wood seperated the streams of water to the farms, and they use to say "Chakde Phatte" (pick up the planks of wood which would release the streams of water in to the farms for the crops.
Because it was such a happy time for the farmers it continued and now used as slang, for example "Chakde Phatte", "Keep It Going, Well Done"
