:TH:

the changing banners are always great :TH:

yea i always believed in aliens since learning about astronomy. haha but i dont believe in the ones they show in the national enquirer, i saw some on the front page of it today at the corner store

wow its hard to believe how much people steal at the gurdwara. my mom's purse got stolen at one in india before. a cell phone got stolen. this bear i won from the basakhi fair got stolen while i phoned someone. shoes always get moved around. its sad

nobody ever misses me  :wub:

where u been manjot?

i do B the most. and also downloading lots of music and videos. dont chat much. rarely play games but if i do i like multiplayer ones. i used to be good at chess when i was in elementary school but not good anymore so i wanna learn it again. i find the net more productive than other stuff cause u learn more

no but they recently had a special exhibit at the surrey art gallery with lots of bhai jarnail singh's paintings. it was really nice :TH:

i was thinking about that just yesterday. i think its good to start gettinf them in the habit when they're old enough to understand some of the things u say and u try to explain why they're doing it. if the kid is still at their baby talk stage they dont need to.

i've noticed that many sikhs seem to follow this saying "jaisi sangat vaisi rangat" and stick with just other sikhs and "good" diciplined people. i think this could be part of the reason sikhism doesnt spread so well. its true the people around u can influence u but i think thats only temporary. anyways my point is that its wrong for sikhs to avoid types of people who "question hukam" cause thats not very open minded. discuss what u think about that quote and how much u follow it..

can someone explain why theres a problem with plastic combs?

yea the new mixed oreo cookies with half mint and other types are really good. i eat em

muslims say that sikhism is just "islam at heart" and that guru nanak was just a reformer but they should be able to argue with the reformed things he said not just that. what are some main things to be said when comparing with islam?

Sat Sri Akal:

If the inside is rough, perhaps some metal sandpaper would be useful. That can be found at any hardware center and also goes by the name of emery cloth.

a knife sharpener...would that not just put an edge on the Kara's rim and cause it to cut up the arm? Unless it is that rim that is rough, in which, the emery choth might still be better to give a duller, smoother rim.

oh ok thankyou

Is the "Kanga" meant only for cleanliness purpose or is it because GGSJ wanted the sikhs to remember their uncut "kesh" and hence their mission. I mean that combing every day would be like stoking the fire, so that the spirit (fire) of fight against injustice does not die down. Can you please calrify.

You're also supposed to only use a wooden comb for that "fire" so maybe its actually helping it not die down

has anybody had the problem of the inside of their kara being a little rough? would u use a knife sharpener to make it smoother?

lol

Sikhi is so awesome, thousands of benefits for everything!

but kasheras are not more convinient or practical than normal panties for girls

if you wore a blue kashera, a nihang would beat you up.

haha thats pretty harsh. does the color of someones kashera really hurt that much? u cant even see people's kashera so saying its worn to show roop is kind of wrong. like daas n daas said its whats on the inside that matters because u can see some sardars that are just like other people and dont even step inside a gurdwara or even go to a nagar kirtan and some people with only a kara might visit the gurdwara regularily. it all depends how u look at it. blue can symbolize purity as well it makes u think of the cool calm ocean.

cool

if ur still following the purpose of the hukam then u can have slightly different ways of doing that.

^it all depends how u look at it. if u think normal underwear will make u lose self control then keep being strict about it but if u can still have that self control u dont need to make rules like that

i was just reading this story in the vancouver sun today that this hindu student going into grade 7 isnt allowed to be at khalsa school because he doesnt have a turban and having a turban is mandatory for grade 7-10 in that school. his dad was complaining cause he claims his son only gets his work done at this school. do u agree he should be kicked out?

admin note: bhainjee, next time please post messages like this in the news forum, thanks :wub: -8

my undies are light blue.. just cuz i dont want them mixed up with other people's in my household..

lol same here

Ludhiana, June 10

An alumnus of Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) has become the Lord Mayor of Leicester in England. He is not only the first Sikh to get the prestigious political post, but is also the first Indian to achieve it.

It is a rags-to-riches story of the new Lord Mayor, Piara Singh Clair, who belongs to Noorpur village, near Phillaur, but had most of his education at the university here. An M.Sc in agronomy, he was the university’s best athlete in 1976-77, as per a brief sketch of his life provided to Ludhiana Tribune by his friend Ajit Singh Mann, working with a bank here.

The Leicester media had gone ga-ga over his elevation and some prestigious newspapers carried his photo side by side with that of Dr Manmohan Singh, the first Sikh Prime Minister of India. The story centered around the indomitable spirit of Sikhs and Punjabis who were achieving milestones in both native and foreign lands.

Mr Mann said the newly appointed Lord Mayor had not lost touch with his roots. He was building a palatial house in Noorpur and visited the village twice an year. He had been taking up the problems of the villagers as well as of scores of NRIs settled in England having problems in Punjab.

As per reports in British newspapers, Mr Clair was sworn in last week after a councillor, Ms Jean Middleton, set to be the Lord Mayor, withdrew due to health reasons. Mr Clair was the Deputy Mayor and was elevated, much to the delight of the Sikh community.

“I want to reach out to every community”, he is being quoted as saying in news reports. Mr Mann remembers his friend as a social, helpful and outgoing person. He went to England in 1977 after getting married to an

NRI, Jusbinder Kaur. He continued his social work and won the hearts of the Indian and the British population.

Mr Mann said Mr Clair would come to India with his wife, two daughters and son on August 15. Mr Clair had written to Mr Mann that he wanted to take the blessings of his native land to do justice

to his new post.
