SSA JI Thank you all for sharing... Hehe i hate makhiyaan too..te kirrliyaan (chipkalis-lizards) aaahhh, once i was sitting in my bed, and one fell on my leg..haye rabba! i hate em ever since.. *ahem* neways, I'll share some more later...umm i lived in panjab for the first 9-10 yrs of my life. I was born in Hoshiarpur, in a Pind, best place ever. I love my pind...shehar naalo vakhra hee najaara hai. But i havnt been back yet.. its been about 11 yrs.. :s

hehe i hope not cuz i hav problem in writing in the punjabi font too...well, i only get confused with the symbols...sehari and behari...adhak, bindi, tippi..and so on.

SSA JI Dhanwaad saareya da...thank u all for sharing your views. Balait Da Sher ji-Yes, i agree, bollywood is presenting a wrong image of sikhs throughout the world but what im trying to say is that what are we, our own people doing? Why cant our people present an image of their own? Why are our own people changing to whatever image the media is giving them (us)? Dont we all have a mind of our own? Don't we all have the right to make the right choices? Is some1 forcing us to follow the image they are presenting us with? Another question raising here...what are our punjabi movies doing for presenting a true image of sikhs? There was a movie playing yesterday on AlphaEtc Panjabi...all our panjabi entertainment/movies are presenting are the clans...JATT JATT JATT!! JATT AH JATT OH! Is that all what our punjabi culture is about? Is that all we all care about, the clans? Punjabi songs...what punjabi song talk about being a sikh? NOT ONE PERSON (SIKH) SAYS "IM A SIKH" now a days people want to change or add their ghotra/clan name with singh or kaur. All im saying is FIRST WE ALL NEED TO PRESENT A TRUE IMAGE IN OURSELVES..THEN THINK ABOUT CHANGING THE WORLD. Je saadi apni hee image sahi nai ah saadiyan akhaan vich then who are we to tell the world who we are? As I said before, FORGET about the world, think about what image you hold in your head, think about your own people first. Ya...be selfish for a change... Its true dat bollywood's impact on youngsters does tend to change sikh childrens' views about who they are, but what else are they to do? Do they have their own people to look up to?? Is our panjabi media presenting them with something that relates to who we really are? NO..Not really. Then what difference does it make that they watch bollywood movies or panjabi movies...its all da same..B.S. Bhull Chukk Maaf G!

Its very sad when a certain amount of dahej/dowry is expected from girls' family. I seriously dont understand...wats up with ppl's minds? I think dat parents can and do give their daughters watever they can afford...but when a certain amount is expected of them i dnt think its rite..Who wud want to marry into a family so poor at heart and greedy...?

SSA JI Ik shota jeha article akhbar vich parheya c..oh sanjha karn jaa rahi aan tuhade saareya naal...Its about a young boy who asks his mom why he needs to wear a turban. If anyone needs me to translate this to english, i will do so... Pagg Kiyon?? Jawan bacha apni Maa nu pushda hai, "Maa, Main Pagg Kiyon banna? Ki iss toh binna main Sikh nahi haan? Jadh main mannda ke main Sikh haan fer eh Pagg wala arrikka kiyon? Sikhi ki Pagg ne kammauni hai?" Maa Siyaani see, kehndi bacha issda jawab main sawere deiyaangi. Bacha sawere skool lai tiyaar hunda kehnda hai, "Maa meri uniform deyo..." "Oh te bache main tiyaar hee nahi kitee" Maa ne keha. "Fer main skool kinj jaavan?" Bache ne pusheya. Maa ne aggeyo jawab ditta , "Mere bache, Skool uniform ne thorro jaana hai, Parrhna tu, Dimag tera, Eh uniform wala arrikka kiyon?" Baccha aggeyo gusse 'ch kehnda hai, "Hadd ho gai Maa, Discipline vi akhir koi cheej hai". Maa ne aggeyo jawaab ditta, "Taan fer dass mere bache, Guru ji da ditta discipline arrikka kiyon? Tere Ser te banndhi Dastaar, doh gaj kaprra nahi, Eh Guru ji wallon tere discipline vich shaamil hai..." Apne Vichaar Jaroor Sanjhe kareyo ji...Dhanwaad!

SSA JI... Socheya koi gall shuru kariye...Pehllan taan ehi jann-na cha-haan gi ke tusi aiss velle duniya de kehrre konne vich rehnde o? Je panjab vich born hoye c taan pehlli vaari kaddon bahar aaye c ja pehlli vaari kaddon panjab nu gaye c (age etc.) ja fer shuru toh hee panjab vich reh rahe o...? te fer koi shotta jeha nikka jeha pall saade saareya naal sanjhi kareyo jehra tuhanu bohat yaad aunda jaa.n yaad hai... Dhanwaad Ji! ANGREJI VICH: Just thought to start some kinda topic...First of all it would be nice to knw where r u all living at this time..in panjab or in amrika/kaneda/uk watever..and if u were born in panjab and now aren't livin there wen did u first moved out (migrated to a diff country)...and finally, share a moment wid every1 here about a time in panjab...somethin u remember da most from wen u were there... thank ju!

Jehna ne v keha bohat sahi keha ji...panjabi bollni chahidi hai saanu saaereya nu. Par ah badlaaO pata ni kaddon au saade lokka vich...kahi v jaande ne ke panjabi bolni chahidi te bolde v nai ^ :s

Kids are cute, gotta luv 'em...A few months back, on gurpurb, at Gurudwara Sahib ji, a lil 4-5 yr old asked his mom what day it was today? His mom replied "Ajj babba ji da janamdin hai" that kid and few otha lil ones went around and started singing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO U" song to da Granthis there... hehe..

Hmmm...50+ views but no replies... *soching*

Umm ya i blv so...thanks! :s

SSA JI Again i was jst lookin through threads/posts, i saw this thread titled "Singh is King" and many of you replied very hatefully towards da media..as if its all these bollywood ppl's fault...well..ya i agree they shudnt b comin up wid such movies but think about it...i blv dat it all depends on one's thinking..saadi soch te depend karda ke assin oh bollywood waleya de tareeke nu app-naunde aan ja thukraunde haan.. it all depends on us as individuals, ke do we want to adapt to what da media wants us to adapt to? It all depends on us, if we, sikhs, want to look or give ourselves da image dat da media presents sikhs as. Forget about what da world (non-sikhs) would think of us..forget about what kind of image they would or they hold in their heads...i think we should all think/worry bout our own ppl first, and give them da knowledege of a true sikh, of what being a sikh really means. In a same way, as most of us are out here...far away from our homeland..Panjab. We see lots of sikhs/desi ppl adapting to da western culture...why?? Oh saadi rees nai karde taan saade lokki ohna pishey kion ghumde ne? ohna da culture kion appnaunde ne? who are we to blame? u think we should all together blame the westerns?? i dnt think so. Saade apneya di hee ghallti hai...its our own ppl who are being moderns. We shouldnt b blaming anyone for what our sikh youth is involved in...its well said ke "Kamal da phull chikkarr (mudd/pond) vich uggda par kadee gandaa nai hunda" it doesnt really matter da kind of environment we're growin up in...wat matters is, ke assi apne sabheyachaar nu chette rakheya hai ke nai..do we knw our roots or not?? APNE VICHAAR JAROOR SANJHI KAREYO JI! DO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS/CONCERNS, PLEASE! Bhull Chukk Maaf!

I agree with most of you...i dnt think its a sin if your head's uncovered, in most cases, like all of u mentioned... But if you're at a gurudwara sahib ji i think it does matter...your dress code, the way we present ourselves in front of shri guru granth sahib ji..as most beebiyaan wear jeans and tops as if they're out in da pubs and wat not...sharm ni aundi!

haige te sahi, par je tusi aithey intro kar deyoge taan apa promise karde aa tuhanu tax ni lawange Leh, main apni intro den nu thori keh rahi aan..main baaki saareya baare parhn di soch rahi c.. hahaha...haanji dasso, kithey hai intro section?

hehe...its confusin cuz hajey changi taraan likhni ni aundi..jaddon ah jau gi fer ni confusing lagni...aiddan likh ke panjabi bolni ah jaugi...je panjabi font ch likhni nai aai.. and dats wat im basically aimin at rite now.. ke we all here, learn to speak punjabi.. baaki tuhadi sabh di apni apni ishaa hai ji. :s

Hmm...well, as most of them speak pretty gud angreji im sure they all knw da famous sayin dat "practice makes it perfect" hehe *bein a smarty* Just a lil suggestion frm my side... all of us here should try to reply to threads/posts in panjabi dat way we all become better at our mother tongue b4 headin on toward otha languages...plus im sure u all get enough of da practice in angreji wid ur frnds and mates in skools and stuff...meaning, outside this forum..so why not practice our panjabi for like...an hour of everyday or so visit to this forum? *alrite..dnt b hatin me now* hehe

SSA JI... Im new to this forum, um as i was goin around readin threads/posts, i came across da fact dat all of u..well, most of u write in english only...i was wonderin if dats wat is preferred by all of us here?...so basically, wat im askin is Do we all knw panjabi?
