anon- Hehe..naah, poor pAer kushnee ah..bohat wadhya transaltion dittee tusi. dhanwaad ji :s

SSA JI... umm I don't think its wrong to have a picture in your mind, because our mind does tend to wonder about other stuff/issues...(taan he mann (mind) nu shaitaan kehnde ne) so, its good to hav a focused picture in your head. And yes thats also true to concentrate on what you're saying...the words instead of jst reading through, not knowing what exactly you're reading.

SSA JI, Yea true, i agree with u as well.. we need to take action and most people are, and yea if they're seeing something wrong they're putting it up front. But again we can only take action and change othas' views if we knw somthin bout sikhi ourselves... You'll probably think people on this forum know a lot about sikhi and some might be jst learning...but im sure no1 here is so much of an ignorant not to knw dat We, sikhs, dont put up Caste system in order to b frnds with anybody. im sure we all know that sikhs don't/shudn't care about caste system...we mainly look or should i say, we should look at everyone as human beings.. ya? We all are equal is what sikhi teaches, men and women are equal and so on. Not to mention any names, I came across one person on this very forum who was trying to put me down because of the caste system i belong in. I think s/he's an amritdhaari, and surely does kirtan, thought i'd probably learn somthin frm him/her but im not afraid to say, s/he's not much of a sikh himself/herself, s/he only shows to have that image "wears the 5ks" but really, how much of a sikh is s/he? Another point i want to make here...yes bollywood is not presenting the right image of sikhs "Akshay kumar with a paggri but clean shaven" hehe, hey atleast he has a paggri on. I jst saw a song on our punjabi channel which our /sikh youth is most likely to watch..or listen to. The song is sung by Miss Pooja "MAINU PAGG WALA MUNDA PASAND MUNDEYA". Now, do i need to say more? Bhull Chukk Maaf Ji!

But doesn't that bring out insecurity on our part? :s No offense but, we shouldn't balme "others" for our own shortcomings. Yes everyone is at different levels, we can say that "hey, I can't keep kesh/read bani/take amrit etc... due to my own short comings" instead of saying, "hey, I can't do it because of the way sikhs are portrayed in society" Exactly! Dhanwaad ji, for makin that point..very clear.

SSA JI Dhanwaad Ji, saareya da..for sharing ur views Par main theeth, ik vaari fer koshish karan gi ke main kehna ki chaundi haan. Ik hor example tuhade samhney rankhna chaundi aan...and like always im trying to get my point across, here i go again..i'll try to keep it short and simple. Ok, so, when we talk to our friends or anybody who dnt knw, about what our dress "code" is or what we are expected to wear, when we go to gurudwaras, i would like to hear from you all, what do u tell them? I probably dont hav to state it all here, as u all already knw the answer... BUT, here is an example that our own people/sikhs are presenting an image of themselves that others blv to b true, I found this image while surfing da web and on flickr a lady posted this picture and her words are: (here's da link for the picture) http://www.flickr.com/photos/lavannya/146634240/ Is this true? Do you all seriously think it is ok for sikh man and woman to dress like they want to gurudwara sahib ji? Is it proper? isnt there somethin expected of us? Thats why im saying that FORGET BOLLYWOOD FOR A SECOND, Think about what our own people are doing first...WHAT IMAGE ARE THEY PRESENTING OF THIER OWN, TO THE WORLD? Tomorrow this person would go on and tell others of this...which is not true at all. (If any questions or concerns about my point of the dress "code"-plz do read the article i posted titled "PAGG KYON?" in the articles section on this forum) DHANWAAD JI BHULL CHUKK MAAF!

Thank you all for sharing, saareya ne barriyan sohniya sohniya yaadaan sanjhiyan kittiyaan...te funny v hehe :D I will try to keep this thread goin..as for me i have about ten years full of beautiful memories from panjab...jiddan jiddan koi gall yaad aiya karu i'll share it with u all. :s I remember playing Gudiyan Patole with my neighborhood frnds (saheliyaan). We used to go to tailors' place(s) to get small pieces of left over clothing and make suits for our stick dolls...amrika ch ah ke barbies naal khedan da oh majaa ni aiya jo lakkri di ja clothing (stuffed) guddiyan naal khedan da aunda c...oh, it used to be so much better living in panjab than here. I never really liked stayin so much in skool, when i was in panjab, because i cudnt wait to play in my pind diyaan galliyaan, but here i preffered stayin in skool more than comin home and be a "stay at home kid" :D

I agree with most of the members on this, let your parents decide. Yes, true u can find great ppl online..friends and all but marriage is like da biggest step in life (well, at least for me) so, there shudnt be any rush in jst meeting some1 and jst bec u like their talks u decide to marry. There is more to that...than just two ppl meeting eachother...if you let ur parents decide, the decission is usally taken on by looking at the families as well as the couple.

I dnt knw how some men who are amritdhaaris agree to marry a woman who's not...unless they're willing to b amritdhaaris in da future. At the Gurudwara Sahib ji here in amrika, (where i go) two of the granthis there are ofcourse, amritdhaari, but thieir wives are not...they are so western stylish kind of women...makeup shakeup la ke rakhde ne, they wear all kinds of jewelery, threaded eyebrows and wat not...its really sad. But somthin to think bout...

SSA JI, Kaur Khalistani lioness- Thank you for posting your views...and yes, i fully understand the points you have made. We do need to take action on what bollywood/media is doing...but what if they are to ask us, the panjabi media, that what are we doing? What answers do we have for them? Can we give example(s) of any song or panjabi movie that our youth today watches, that talks about simply being a Sikh? Love between God and a human being...where do we present to the people, that firstly, love between god and a human is more important than having a bf/gf relationship...? <<this is what ppl think entertainment is all about...this is what pulls our ppl away from being bounded in lord's love. What examples can we set for them (bollywood) that "look, this who we are". I really dont think Hindi or Panjabi movies are any different...just that hindi movies mention or give a certain image of who sikhs really aren't, and panjabi movies don't at all, instead they go about being off a certain clan (mainly being a jatt) in which we as sikhs don't even want to believe in...but the fact is that we all do because thats all that our media is presenting to the our sikh/panjabi youth. So, what im basically trying to say is that lets think and take action on changing our media first, why can't we be ahead...and reach farther away than bollywood, and teach people about sikhi? Our own media at this moment is jst so lame, like they dont really care and trying to be like bollywood...tryin to make all romantic and full of action movies...instead of makin or givin themselves a status..an image of their own.
