I've washed with lasi too.....Its good in the summer cos it keeps ure body temperature cool whilst everyone around you is sweating....but then the bad thing is that ure hair smells of lasi. I just ended up washing with normal shampoo to get rid of the smell. But yea its good for keeping u cool.

His gatka vidz were cool. I posted them....but he wanted them remove......his comment was silly so we had a chat and its solved now. He actually has a heart of Gold but just odd humour

I used to wear a kara when I was a kid. A small steel one, even though my family are Punjabi Hindus. Guys would ask me "Why you wear a bangle? Are you a girl?" and then laugh. I would say "No, I can talk to God on this bangle?", and then start speaking into the kara "Hello!! God??? Hi!!", and tell the other kids that God doesn't like them.

^^^aww thts a cute story.

This reminds me. When my sister was 6 years old they were passing chaur shahib around the classroom as part of religious studies teaching. My sister told the teacher you should wash ure hands before touching it but the teacher said you don't have to and how the gurdwara said it was okay not to.

So anyways my sister tells all the children on her table that if you touch it you will break ure legs....suddenly no one wants to touch it. Then the teacher asks my sister what is wrong and she tells him that he will break his legs now. Suddenly the teacher got so so scared. It was kinda funni.......no one touched chaur sahib and they had to call the gurdwara to come and take it. The story still makes me laugh, she really wanted everyone to wash theit hands, cannot believe she scared them all!

Sorry for missing u out veerji.....here is another of my favourite sayings. Its for just u - I hope u like it.

'Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.'

Singhological beauty : )

Unfortunately I wasn't wearing sunglasses so the dazzle from your photo was slightly overwhelming. I've only just recovered. Don't even get me started on what my poor eyes went through after all those photos of Sitargirl.. I think I'll call you Stargirl from now on bhenji.

Bhenji I didn't know if I shud have put up my pics....peacemaker said they were okay and I asked Banda and all he said was HAHA. I was actually shocked with revolutionary....i guess u read the original comment right?

Anyways I have loadsa baby pics too. When I was little I used to look like a boy cos my mum dressed me up like one! I remember being in year 6 and the teacher thought i was a munda. We went on a school trip for a week and he started yelling at me for going into the girls dormitory. It was so bad cos i never knew he thought that i was a boy and so I didn't understand why he was so mad.

When I go home I will find these pics and you all are gonna be shocked....also random info but at home I get called the ugly one but I answer back with this really cool saying I made up....Sikhi is about growing into a beautiful swan and so you cannot get there without going through the ugly duckling phase.

I actually think this is true. I've been bullied and I am sure loads of other people have been bullied too but sometimes you have to put up and go through the ugly stuff to become a beautiful swan.

I got your sarcasm. Sarcasm rocks.

But I'm biased..

aww bhenji love u loads...ure the coolest!! Also my fav saying just for u - great minds think alike...

scared me there bhenji

u were like totally uncool for the 1 min i waited to see what u would post

I cannot believe no one noticed the sarcasm. I have never done my eyebrows or removed my kesh ever. I actually got asked by this girl who was Vice president of some univeristy sikh society

VP girl - 'so do u do ure eyebrows?'

Me 'No'

VP Girl 'Why not?'

Me 'looks at her thinking and ure vice president of a sikh soc' I'm still giving her i cannot believe this look when another girl goes cos u know sikhs cannot....and then the vp girl was like oh i never knew. I thought it was head hair only After that I decided there should be greater public awareness of this issue....but yea I won't do sarcasm again. lol.

Why?

I wanna see ure pic bhenji!!!

Oh man do u not sense the sarcasm....I posted these kinda topics on sikhsangat before. Apparently you cannot tell people they should not remove eyebrow hair, how they should not wear makeup, perfume, bleach face, go clubbing....cos its erm judging them. I got attacked and was told that I was judging ppl and how I am awful for that. This is the biggest load of cr*p I have heard.

Incidently with my story of the 10th Guru Gobind Singh, I shall repeat for those not familiar......there was a singh..the Guru loved him alot and complimented him on his dhari....the singh then looked in the mirror one day and noticed a white hair. He pulled this one white hair out cos he felt it was ruining his nice black dhari...and then he went to see the Guru but the Guru BLANKED him.

The singh then asked the Guru if he was upset with him. The Guru told the singh that he thought he was imperfect with the white hair when infact by pulling and removing it he is no longer perfect. We should be confident to love what God has given us. Likewise we shouldn't do eyebrow hair, its not judging cos the Guru wud have then judged too.....

So to people like Manmit chera...we don't need to wear a bracelet and pretend to think what the Guru wud say. We already know what our Guru says........also i don't go clubbing....i just was using reverse psychology ie applying the logic of those who say u shud mind ure own business!

I believe we should comment on these things...and we shud not brush them aside. Our Guru's commented on everything, no matter how tiny or how small..removing eyebrow hair is wrong but its equally wrong to create a culture where u cannot comment about if its wrong. Obviously u don't need to mention names but raising public awareness is a huge thing, it indirectly encourages those sitting on the fence to stop doing their eyebrows! I'm gonna leave it at that and sorry for any misunderstandings.

Veerji I wrote a reply and when I pressed post the website logged me out. Incidently I lost that reply so I am gonna keep this short. Also I am very stressed at the moment so I am sorry if this sounds rude.

The article for me merely a piece of flowerly language. I was expecting something different.

Let me illustrate what I mean by this. PINK=FLOWERY

Every beautiful flake of snow, has a structure different to the next. Infinity plays its tune in everything, that is the hand of the infinite that created and creates all, ceaselessly. We confine this endlessness into a narrow alley way, that only the elite can squeeze into.

We cannot see the flood, the torrent that cleanses the dirt away. All we see is the stagnant pool of our thoughts, ever producing an odour that only the cannibals, ghosts and ghouls enjoy bathing in.

Now lets read the whole post taking out flowery things like snowflakes or metaphors of cannibals...if u remove this throughout the ENTIRE article u have nothing left...its all flowery and any comments are subjective...

I feel this article is highly subjective and it is nothing more than a diplomatic rant.

Just to point out I don't mind flowery stuff or diplomacy unless its actually got some factual basis. For me this piece is so subjective that I feel I could take the same examples and put another perspective on them. Basically I expected something amazing but I felt it wasn't. Other people may disagree.. but my own take was that there was very little for me to learn once I took the flowery out.

It basically does not have an eternal quality which means I cannot repeat the same article 3000 or 4000 years later. In that sense its not exactly a teaching piece..also for me already bits don't make sense. I'm sorry but that was my take on it. Feel free to disagree but I'm just saying it was too flowery, so wishy washy and subjective that I did not think it was great.

Yea exactly man. As long as I cover my head hair who cares. Guru Nanak Dev Ji would allow me just like Guru Gobind Singh allowed the singh who pulled the white hair out of his dhari.

I wear a dastaar, do my eyebrows and go clubbing - you people shud mind ure own business. And if you wanna say its wrong then I am gonna tell u its judging.......

I'm sure talikhaak has a reason for bumping this article.....

I ended up reading all of it cos everyone seemed really pleased with it. Now this will probably sound rude but I did not like this article as I found it very whishy washy.

Also I barely noticed the women point and even now have no idea what that means. All in all I was disappointed as I was expecting something more.

aww they are such cool plants....we have so many in our house....you should grow another one!

EDIT - I ran a search on aloe vera. It says

People in Tamil Nadu, another state of India prepare a curry using Aloe Vera which is taken along with Indian bread or rice.

I wonder what that tastes like!! Must be gooey and the only vegetable I can think of which is like that is erm bindiyaa? So does it taste like bindiyaaaaa???

Wat is cologne???

OMG Surinderjit I use Aloe Vera too!! Once my sister was jumpin on the bed and cos we were hyper she banged her mouth into my head. The consequences of this were that her tooth went into my head and so I then had blood pouring out my head.

It was kinda scary but my mum used aloe vera to help the healing....I had a fresh one every day over my wound which was kinda cool.

I remember this topic....dunno why ppl are so passionate about wearing jewellery, perfume or makeup.

All that I know is that as a sikh there are things that you should do but at the same time people should not be happy by meeting this minimum standard.

We should try to excell at whatever we do. All saints etc have said that you shouldn't get into the aspect of adorning yourself....so I guess it boils down to your perspective.

My perspective being that as a Sikh I wanna reach the saintly level and I want to have the duty to make the world a better place and supporting fashion industries is not something I want to waste my time on. This is wat jewellery, makeup and perfume support. Its extends beyond this to making people feel awful about themselves, to taking away people from jobs that wud do good in the world to be employed in pointless cr*p like this.

Also as I wrote before we think jewellery and makeup and perfume is cool but sometimes when I look at the aboringe skull and skeleton necklaces I think holly Gawd did these people really think this was cool....likewise when we get out of the society trap we can look with a neutral perspective and think why? It is such a waste of time and not needed at all. We can all live our lives without makeup, perfume and jewellery....the truth is that we don't need those things, they add nothing to our lives and to be involved in them has negative consequences. I really dunno how to explain it better than this.

...losing their jobs?

lool thts witty...I like!

^^ For the first time ever I could work out that punglish without getting stuck! I'm so clever lol...

Just for general knowledge wats bhatia, potiwal mattu and all those other names?

And wats this

Look..

there are 4 Varna

Each Varna have many Jaats in them

Each Jaat have many Paats in them

Just a little piece of information

I remember asking someone ages ago and they said it was to do with the head, arms, feet of some God....I never really understood but might aswell use this as a learning opportunity.

I know I shouldn't say this....but everytime Punjabi kuri writes it makes me laugh loads....I actually think its the way she types. Its so hyper and funny. lol

I agree with mehtab above plus marry who ever brings u closer to ure guru. It may be same or different Jaat - it really doesn't matter...eg u can marry pink/blue or orange person!

I honestly don't know much about Jaats so I have no clue about all those names u wrote out. However all I know is that you should not be prejudiced or discrimate against someone due to caste.

So for me its more of a historical heritage and in the future for everyone worldwide its gonna become ure historical heritage too...so I imagine I will sit down and tell my grandchildren stories of the family tree etc....other than that it has no purpose in our society...

I believe its kachi lasi like Jarnail singh said......its cos its a good NATURAL cleaning substance. What I mean by this is that water alone is not very good at cleaning..it needs to be combined with something like soap, lasi etc.....

Some people wash their hair with lasi too! I think nishaan sahib at all gurdwara's is washed with milk too....

HOWEVER in this day and age it does raise the ethical question of how we contribute to the milk and veal industry etc.

s1ngh and s1nghnee

aww thts cute...i let u off for not wearing bana cos ure the coolest mod.

ps - R deep singh tht astronaut pic is amazing. I want to be put in the suit like that too!!

You can't see it clearly. The filth of my mind has tainted the image.

I remember seeing it before u asked it to be blurred.....but seriously why are they not doing Yoms anymore. They used to have a tab on the right hand side but even that has gone....

peek a booo

How comes there are no more new YOMs....I don't mind filling in. lol.

Wow cool videos....I think I tie a combination.......we always worn long nala's around the waist in our house.

My mum's family are nihangs so I am not sure if its cos of that...but yea I suppose it doesn't matter too much....u just need to have it tight so it doesn't fall and quick to untie so u don't wet ureself...I prefer wrapping around waist cos at least there are no bits falling out and less likely to get loose..
