http://autofeed.msn.co.in/clippath2/innerH...E83EFAA0DC}.asp A: Sardar kahan miltey hain? B: Jokes mein! A: Sardar kahan nahin miltey hain? B: Ramp par! You got it, right!? Try to recall how often you’ve spotted a Sikh boy, complete with his turban, selling a product just like other non-turbaned models, or even on the ramp. Let’s allow Gurmeet Singh Gill, 23, to explain: “I wanted to be a model, so I approached an agency (he refuses to divulge the name). But, after making me wait endlessly, they told me that I didn’t stand a chance because I was a Sikh. I didn’t see any logic in denying the Sikh boys the chance to be models. I was hurt and didn’t know what to do.” …

Post i got from Sikh-history.com forum.. thought worth to read it... ---------- Dear All, I am in the process of arranging a 'Akhand Paat' at ther rebuilt Singh Sabha Grdwara in Southall...however after my family consulted them regarding it, they camback with a minimum price of £650....and that is at the Gurdwara and not at home. Now I just can't figure why it should be that expensive........are the short-term visa gyani's trying to optimize their limited stay...is it to do with the costs of a building that is empty more often than not.....for I'm tempted to donate £650 to a well known charity and forget it? http://www.sikh-history.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate/ultimatebb.cgi…

http://headlines.sify.com/2421news2.html?h...fidelity:~Study Internet chat increases infidelity: Study Washington: Internet chat rooms are fast emerging as courting grounds for people looking for romantic or sexual thrills. What boggles the mind is that most of these "chatters" are married, according to a new University of Florida (UF) study. "Never before has the dating world been so handy for married men and women looking for a fling," said Beatriz Avila Mileham, who conducted the research for her doctoral dissertation in counselor education at UF. "With cyber sex, there is no longer any need for secret trips to obscure motels. An online liaison may even take p…

Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
