  1. Apna Khalsa_007's cuzin is biggggggg sikh model.. :D Im still waiting for the autograph pix of him :H:
  2. my dad told me this once--------- as a sikh in the US.. you have to better than ur other counterpart religions/cultures cuz a sikh has to represent the religion.. these little things matter like if u go to a restuarant and be mean to the waiter next time any turbaned man who goes to the restuarant is not gonna get treated too kind this might be an extreme example but u get the point. so we have to be extra nice to people so when the next time they see a sikh man they would remember how kind they are I agree with u all guys and it's very civilized thing to do.... But doesn't it kinda wayy too much to handle.. Like being nice and clean outside u know like showing the good image to the community all tha time... One time (after 9/11) I was on the way to drop my vietnamese friend to his home and on the way some wacko *white* punk gave me the finger from his car for no reason.. It really <Edited> me off and i tailgated bumper to bumper to that guy for next 15 miles (he was heck of scared though).. I just didn't cared about anything.. Anyway when i told this to my dad/parents.. They said "What i did was huge mistake" and then all blame was on me :D @ and then my dad lectures me the good image stuff.. Which i still don't agree with it.. cauz it's not possible for a person to be in good mood for 24/7 OR faking to be in good mood for the sake of community is too much....
  3. Do people drink enough water? Most nutrition and health experts recommend drinking at least eight glasses of water a day. But 28% of Americans say they drink two or fewer servings a day and 10% say they dont drink water at all. Im water guy.. i drink more than 15 a day.. lol.. (two or three bottles @ skool alone)
  4. Five pairs of donkeys tied the knot in an elaborate public wedding hoped to bring rain to the parched south Indian metropolis Madras. Several hundred devotees chanted mantras to bless the donkeys in eternal union in an hour-long ritual true to local Hindu marriage customs in all respects save species. Despite the scorching June sunshine, R.K. Bhagavathiraj, a religious scholar who organized the ceremony, said he was certain rain was now on its way. "Our scriptures have instances of donkeys being married to get rain. I am confident that after this ritual, Lord Varuna (the rain god) will bless Chennai (Madras) with copious rain," Bhagavathiraj said Saturday. The donkeys were brought in from across the state of Tamil Nadu for the marriage -- and, their bachelor days over, will be shipped back to their owners. The ritual cost just over 100 dollars, said T. Paramanandam, the manager at Bhagavathiraj's office. While donkey marriages have been conducted in the past as part of prayers for rain in Tamil Nadu villages, it was believed to be the first time such a ceremony was held in Madras. The city of 6.5 million has a critical shortage of water due to weak monsoons in recent years and a poor distribution system. For the past several months many Madras residents have had to seek water through tankers from the suburbs -- or, failing that, through donkey marriages.
  5. Security personnel take down a banner that was unfurled by protesters from a balcony of the Century Plaza Hotel, June 27, 2003 in Los Angeles. President George W. Bush was speaking at a Bush-Cheney fund-raising dinner in the ballroom of the hotel.
  6. Britain's Prince of Wales wears a traditional Sikh visitor's scarf as he talks with female worshippers, during a visit to the Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara Temple, in Southall, London, June 13, 2003. The temple is the largest outside of India.
  7. Wow.. Awesome.. Must read this oneeeeeee Btw, im wondering who were ascetics (sanyasins)?
  8. From where Khalistan Word came from? It wasn't there under Ranjit singhs rule? What it's meaning? Is it Persian word? Did any of our Guru sahib jee ever mention that word? :kid:
  9. kiddah pajee.. I do agree your point, but i also disagree with it.. cauz i think no sikh should live his/her life carrying the burden of their whole society.. I mean live your life on your own, do what you want to do without carrying the burden of whole community.. like thinking "Should i do this? " what would happen to my community reputation if i do this or that".. I really hate that.. It suffocates me.. I see both as equal. Yes both are sins acc. to sikh lifestyle in our gurus eyes. If im not mistaken jee.. i think your question also leads to another point...."Should we call them "Bad Sikhs or unsikh"?" hmmm.. if we do call them bad sikhs or not even sikhs then we are also Bad Sikhs too.. Why? Cauz it's our Waheugurus' job to judge that not ours :D .. All we can say is that "Sikhs are not allowed to cut hair nor drink." If someone do that let guru ji handle them. btw.. Good question..
  10. Correct answer is 83,005.. Salute to those Brave Soldiers :g
  11. I still do love Dya Singhs cds and stuff.. but maybe there should be lil limit on it.. Rest is all fine though.. Got this from forwarding email ---- Dear Gursikho, I like to bring to your attention the following: A Sikh named Daya Singh from Australia performed a consort in St. Louis, Gandhi Bhavan, in which he sang Punjabi lok geet, Hindi film songs and also sang Shabads from siri Guru Garanth Sahib Ji tonight. I have never heard any Sikh singing Shabads from Guru Garanth sahib je at the same time and in local pop music, He was clapping during the Shabads himself and encouraging others to clap as well. I took it as an insult to the Guru Shabad. I could listen only for a while but I could not sit there. lost my cool. I went to the stage and told him to stop it, enough is enough. Singing Gurbani from this stage in this format is not appropriate.He did not stop instead told me to sit down and do not disturb. Lot of Sikhs were sitting on Chairs infront of him. He was at a higher stage from the rest of the audience. He continued . I moved aside only to here him singing guru Nanak Dev ji's Shabad again......... Jao tao Prem Khelan Ka choou, ...... and invited four others to volunteer to him as Did Guru Gobind Singh je .... I will be the fifth one to sing the Jakara or what else.... I lost my temper and shouted at him to stop it stop it, I will not allow this kind of insult to continue. At this time couple of other persons got up and the consort was stopped. Evidently he is very popular among some Sikhs and others, because of his music and musical instruments . He proudly says that he has done Shabads at different places and among large crowds in wh ich many Sikhs had participated, no one has objected rather liked and encouraged him. He was telling others that he does not need instructions from a rude Sikh, he knows how and where to sing Gurbani....... I think he is traveling in US at this time and will be visiting other places. I would like all Gursikhs to think it over..... do we want this kind of insult to GurShabad ,,, equating GurShabad and bring to the level of street pop songs...., and he continue to even perform Kirtan in Gurdwaras..... this is one of the reason we are away from local Gurdwaras, and there are two in three in St.. Louis.... I suggest that we watch him. ................ If you see him repeating such nonsense than please speak up and let him know this is not going to be tolerated. Rather I suggest he may not be allowed to do kirtan in Gurdwaras. To my understanding he is a DISGRACE being Sikh, I was called a RUDE SIKH tonight.... and am out of touch and out dated. I should go and see in African Churches how they sing and be tuned to the God.... I am feeling uncomfortable to write names of some of the Sikhs who were present in this consort and clapping during and after the Gurshabads were being sung. I do not remember songs like ..... Savan AAio re AAIO.., and other Hindi Songs which I don't care.... I am not trying to object him singing Songs and doing Consort... He can do it what ever way he chooses , .... But he cannot and must not be allowed to Sing Gurbani Shabads while singing Hindi songs at the same time and on a pop music setting.... I am told he has one other performance in Gandhi Bhavan on 29th. in St. Louis. Hope he will not repeat this mistake again If He does than Guru Rakha... I hope and pray that no Gurdwara society allow him to do kirtan in Gurdwara premises. I am sure he has no love for the Guru rather a Manmatia , so are few on his admirers and supporters and sponsors......... ????? Thanks for your time .. please do take a note of him if yo u happen to now he is in your neighborhood. Thanks PPSingh St. Louis, Missouri
  12. Who care what's going on in India.. Most of us are living in US or canada or Uk.. Lets be active in Our own community(Where u live) issues rather than issues relating to india. We are not living in India... B)
  13. Hey.. Gursimar.. Watch "Rat Race".. if u didn't saw it yet.. It's funny movie.. B)
  14. I somehow think that there should be no restriction against the publishing of sikh gurbani scriptures on newspaper.. This is the only way to reach the mass sangat.. One thing we can do is that to urge newspaper editors to put a lil NOTE at the bottom or at the top of the article "Pls respect Gurbani scripture published in this newspaper by not throwing them along with other garbage of your household " and stuff like that.. U know that way i think it's cool... Also reminds the desi janta to respect sikhi gurbani words... :D
  15. Ps2 Im only into racing.. (grand turismo... etc) sometrime i like playing series of naughty dog games B)
  16. i don't see anything wrong with that.. however it depends on the lyrics.. For example some lyrics are about spreading hate, greed, lust and anger.. So as long as u keep simple then everything is cool.. I listen to creed band all tha time and i also listen to gurbani.. I have around 10 gurbanis cds in my car so do i have 10 others about rock music.. So it's fine and all okay.. thats my personal view.. I avoid punjabi and rap music though.. ummm ..it just doesn't fit my style :D So... can u be a good sikh and listen to other music other than gurbani? yeah u can but it depends on Lyrics.. B)
  17. Just saw "Texas Chain Saw massacre" second time.. and it's pretty disgusting but kinda cool too and it's based on true story We do have some texans members on this forum..
  18. Ummmm.. She is only 17yrs old.. She still cannot decide on her own unless she turn 18 (maybe diff. countries have different law).. this looks kinda weird though for a 17 yr old girl to understnd the true religion and stuff on her own.. maybe her parents are involved into this.. But whatever.. God bless her.. it's her choice... DOn't need to panic.. :D )
  19. Get rid of all those annoying telemarketing calls... Http://www.donotcall.gov (Feds site)

Luv the sixth sense first time :D awesome suspense concept.. im gonna watch "As Good as it Gets"
  21. Keep sex relation only with ur wife/husband, then nothing is wrong.. (that's what married life is).. Though sex is not the MAJOR part of the couples life, but still it considered an important holding relationship, whether it's for pleasure or for reproduction.. 2 cent of my thought
  22. Aight a lil sikh war history quiz for you guys... B) ______Turban wearing Sikh soldiers were killed and 109,045 were wounded. They all died or were wounded for the freedom of Britain and the world and during shell fire, with no other protection but the turban, the symbol of their faith."
