  1. Of course, here you go .. blush.gif

    In order to identify which artwork is for which month,

    you can view this page:

    http://www.allaboutsikhs.com/dates/index.htm

    Click on the names of the months under the heading "Sikh Month Begins"

    each month has a shabad and an associated painting

    all of the paintings are taken from a collection about "Barah Maha" by Bhai Devender Singh, a well known artist

    His website is: http://devendersinghartist.com

    Opened fire at Dawson College, shot and wounded 20 ppl

    Montreal gunman liked 'Columbine' game

    (AP)

    Updated: 2006-09-14 23:05

    MONTREAL - A man with a black trench coat whose shooting rampage in a Montreal college killed one person and wounded 19 others before he was slain by police said on a blog in his name that he liked to play a role-playing Internet game about the Columbine shootings.

    The gunman who opened fire at Dawson College on Wednesday was Kimveer Gill, 25, of Laval, near Montreal, a police official said Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity because authorities were not ready to announce it publicly yet.

    A photo allegedly showing Kimveer Gill, 25, of Laval, near Montreal, is shown in this undated photo seen on a website called VampireFreaks.com. A police official identified Gill Thursday, Sept. 14, 2006, as the gunman who opened fire at Dawson College on Wednesday, killing one person and wounded 19 others before he was slain by police. [AP]

    Six victims remained in critical condition, including two in extremely critical condition.

    The official said police had searched Gill's home.

    In postings on a Web site called VampireFreaks.com, blogs in Gill's name show more than 50 photos depicting the young man in various poses holding a rifle and donning a long black trench coat and combat boots.

    One photo has a tombstone with his name printed on it - below it the phrase: "Lived fast died young. Left a mangled corpse."

    The last of six journal entries Wednesday was posted at 10:41 a.m, about two hours before the gunmen was shot to death at Dawson.

    He said on the site that he was drinking whiskey in the morning and described his mood the night before as "crazy" and "postal."

    He said on the site that he liked to play "Super Columbine Massacre," an Internet-based computer game that simulates the April 20, 1999, shootings at the Colorado high school by two of its students that left 13 people dead.

    "His name is Trench. you will come to know him as the Angel of Death," he wrote on his vampirefreaks.com profile. "He is not a people person."

    He wrote that he hates jocks, preppies, country music and hip-hop.

    "Work sucks ... school sucks ... life sucks ... what else can I say? ... Life is a video game you've got to die sometime."

    Below a picture of Gill aiming the barrel of a gun at the camera there's the inscription: "I think I have an obsession with guns ... muahahaha."

    "Anger and hatred simmers within me," said another caption below a picture of Gill grimacing.

    He wrote that he is 6-foot-1, was born in Montreal and is of Indian heritage. He said his weakness is laziness and that he fears nothing. Responding to the question, "How do you want to die?" Gill replied "like Romeo and Juliet - or in a hail of gunfire."

    Gill wore a black trench coat during the shooting and opened fire in the cafeteria just as Columbine students Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris did in 1999. Gill also maintained an online blog, similar to Klebold and Harris, devoted to gothic culture, heavy metal music such as Marilyn Manson, guns and journal entries expressing hatred against authority figures and "society."

    A phone call to the home of Gill's family was answered by a woman said she heard about it through the media late Wednesday night. Police showed up shortly after,

    A neighbor who lives across the street from the home said Gill was a loner.

    "There were never any friends," Louise Leykauf said. "He kept to himself. He always wore dark clothing."

    Montreal Police Chief Yvan Delorme said the lessons learned from other mass shootings had taught police to try to stop such assaults as quickly as possible.

    "Before our technique was to establish a perimeter around the place and wait for the SWAT team. Now the first police officers go right inside. The way they acted saved lives," he said.

    Witnesses said Gill started shooting outside the college, then entered the second-floor cafeteria and opened fire without uttering a word. At times, he hid behind vending machines before emerging to take aim ¡ª at one point at a teenager who tried to photograph him with his cell phone.

    Police dismissed suggestions that terrorism played a role in the lunch-hour attack.

    The gunman opened fire haphazardly at no target in particular, until he saw the police and took aim at them, Delorme said.

    Police hid behind a wall as they exchanged fire with the gunman, whose back was against a vending machine, said student Andrea Barone, who was in the cafeteria. He said the officers proceeded cautiously because many students were trapped around the assailant, who yelled "Get back! Get back!" every time an officer tried to move closer.

    Eventually, Barone said, the gunman went down in a hail of gunfire.

    Delorme said some officers were at the school on an unrelated matter when the shooting erupted. He said reinforcements rushed to the scene and took part in the shooting.

    Scores of students fled into the streets after the shooting began. Some had clothes stained with blood; others cried and clung to each other. Two nearby shopping centers and a daycare center also were evacuated and subway service was disrupted.

    "I was terrified. The guy was shooting at people randomly. He didn't care, he was just shooting at everybody," said student Devansh Smri Vastava. "There were cops firing. It was so crazy."

    Police said the attacker had a rapid-fire rifle and two other weapons. They did not provide details.

    Although police initially suggested the gunman had killed himself, Delorme later said at a news conference that "based on current information, the suspect was killed by police."

    "Today we have witnessed a cowardly and senseless act of violence unfold at Montreal's Dawson College," Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said. "Our primary concern right now is to ensure the safety and recovery of all those who were injured during this tragedy."

    The school was closed until Monday.

    Canada's worst mass shooting took place in Montreal when gunman Marc Lepine, 25, killed 14 women at the Ecole Polytechnic on Dec. 6, 1989, before shooting himself.

    That shooting spurred efforts for new gun laws achieved mainly as the results of efforts by survivors and relatives of Lepine's victims.

    Dawson, with about 10,000 students, was the first English-language institution in Quebec's network of university preparatory colleges when it was founded in 1969.

  5. Hi sangat ji

    i have a real bad crisis at home. Recently there has been soo much tension in our house. my parents wont stop fighting with each otehr and my mum gets angry really quick. both my parents scream shot and use bad language (swearing) against each other. I have two little younger brothers and one younger sister. I dont want them picking my parents attitude and when they see them fight they get scared.

    My mum is quite religious and so is my dad. My mum does paaht and everything but still yet she swears really bad same goes for my dad.

    When we confront my mum about it she will say to us that you dad has wasted my life and i have no idea why i got married to him ec etc.. and that she swears because we all make her angry and dont do work together. Even all the kids get sworn at by my mum and dad too.

    When we confront our dad and he'll say the similar that my mum starts it first so he has to say something back.

    I have no idea what to do. I want my family to be peaceful and not fight or swear. is that too much to ask for?

    I seriously dont know what to do.

    I've asked Guru Ji too, I always wonder why is it that the tensions always in our house??

    I need help !

    Hiya, sorry to hear about all that. Must be frustrating, so you think you have a dysfunctional family. Well you're not alone, you know the problem might be that both parents are stressed from amount of work + raising 4 kids, wokring and running the household. Maybe its getting to be too much for them. I don't know how old you or your siblings are but why don't you guys split up chores - lighten the load a bit off parents shoulders - help both of them so that they have less to do around the house and more time to spend with each other as a family. Help mum w/dishes, cleaning, cooking, shopping, job (if she works), help dad w/ermm whatever you think you can help him out with.

    If you have a stereo, in the evening before or after you have roti put on shabads or paath - this will surely prevent them from arguing .. can do same in the morning as well but make it a daily practice.

    What do you think? Will this help a bit ..

    I myself am 18 and i help around as much as I can I usualy do majority of the stuff. I do understand my mum sometimes where she comes from but everytime my mum puts paaht on my dad will want to change the channel to zee music or alpha panjabi and all these silly songs play where usually it all starts to kick off and my mum would sometimes ask God to take my dad waya (e.g. kill him and punish him and all sorts) she'll be like god i beg you to kill off this man. If you are true kill this man off we'll be really peaceful etc etc...I just cant take it anymore. Then she'll swear like anything and my dad will too with embarasing swear words and the kids catch out the words at times and start using them around. and I dont like it no.gif

    Sorry hun, been out of touch as of late. How are you doing? How are things?

  6. Ask your parents whether they love you? And if they want to see you happy? I'm sure that a childs hapiness means alot to a parent. Just that once ask your parents to make them realise, if you love me and want to see my happy then the only way is that I want to study get a career get an education, then decide on engagement and marriage.

    Non of this applies to a 'desi' family. Sorry. Parents answer is always they know more about their child's happiness than the child itself . So I don't necessarily agree w/your technique.

    As for the friend in question, I have suggestions but they're all terrible so I'd rather not discuss. But I hope you find comfort soon.

  9. Remove this post too then since your erasing/deleting other posts of mine

    Easy there. They probably just trying to tell you this may not be a laughing matter for some, don't feel shafted if mods find your post to be juvenile.

  10. Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal!

    Dear all!

    The seed is before the roots (Mool). What is the seed if the beginning of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the Mool Mantar?

    Balbir Singh

    Interesting thought/question. I kind of remember making an attempt to answer this q couple of years ago on another forum, lemme see if I can find it.

  11. If there is any potential for you two then approach her.

    Really depends on the circumstances, I can’t remember not feeling great when someone tells me I been missed dearly :) No harm done. If you would sincerely like to apologize for whatever reason then don’t 2nd guess yourself, just do it! Again just be considerate of all factors before you do anything esp cuz its been 20yrs. Wow!

  12. hmm just wanted to ask why is "rakhree" celebrated...hope ive spetly it right...

    is it part od sikhism or just a tradition? grin.gif

    A tradition, n I been banned from it cuz I refuse to do it 2 years ago for the same reason above. Kinda feel left out now ...

  13. If I can make a suggestion, I’d say I’ve been through something similar. Everyone is different but what worked for me was going to the Gurdwara and listening to kirtan (w/o being able to grasp anything) I used to avoid the rush hour (anytime close to langar) … close your eyes and listen to kirtan as long as you can. Hope you feel a little better today.

  14. how do i know im ready to take amirt?

    Good question. I would say, if you understand and know what it entails and you are confident that you can devote and be committed to Babaji's word then ju maybe ready. Besides, the Chief will let you know ...
