  1. Badal is amritdhari?!? There's hope for everyone if that's the case.
  2. I vaguely remember him saying a few years ago that he shouldn't be held up as a role model for Sikhs, because his saroop isn't a statement on his true beliefs. I think that's the jist of it, it was a while ago.
  3. A surprisingly contemplative side to Big T, and a few questions I've asked myself in recent years. The most we can do on a day-to-day basis is work on ourselves and be the best we can humanly be. In that way, whenever, or if, situations arise when others require our assistance we will be prepared to lend a hand.
  4. Sounds a bit fishy to me. I'm surprised the police didn't find a few kilos of RDX in the boot (or the trunk)
  5. You're an eternal optimist, brother, whilst I am not in regards to this particular issue, hehe. Your way is the right way in a perfect world, but sadly this is not one of those realms.
  6. Something invariably gives way in the type of situations you've described above, brother, and whether it's a Sikh male marrying a non-Sikh, or a Sikh female marrying a non-Sikh that something is more often than not the Sikh faith. I wonder why some of our people are so eager to abandon it with such relish? What is it in our make-up as a race or cultural group that leads to such a situation?
  7. Is lemon and ginger tea any good?
  8. That's a valid point, Big T. Some might say when a Sikh man marries a non Sikh the children will automatically be raised as Sikhs, however from my experience the type of guy who does marry a non-Sikh (excluding Sikh converts who've taken Amrit BTW) weren't too enamoured with the Sikh faith to begin with. So, if anything, those children will be secular Punjabi, not observant or even slightly knowledgeable Sikhs.
  9. As a child I always use to hear my Nana say, "Dand baitka kadh!! You'll have a body like steel," and I was like, "Whatever," lol, but now I can attest to the magic in them. Sure, they're murder on the legs and other places, but keep doing them and eat clean, and along with a decent weightlifting regimen incorporating other exercises you'll be in great shape.
  10. Disneyworld? Coconut. Nah, completely joking, have a great time.
  11. I think it's the arrogance and the sense of assuredness these people cling to is what's so off-putting. Instead of introspection or self-realisation, they desire to change or mould everything and everyone to fit their blinkered worldview and lifestyles. That smacks of a huge lack of self awareness and humility. Unfortunately, certain ingrained features of our own cultural psyche pertaining to social status and wealth - to the exclusion of other essential traits and qualities - are also a huge obstacle in gaining genuine insight into how to function as a person who can resist the attempts to engineer a certain type of person. Even those who have turned to religion apparently have done so only on the surface. Deep down such people are driven by the same ambitions and motivations as the so-called uninitiated. It's more than just adhering to a set of rules about how to live a life, but also about genuinely changing one's mindset to the very core of what makes us tick.
  12. I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately, the coming generations in places like the UK have fallen for this social engineering, mostly due to related issues such as not wanting to be identified as the "extreme, angry brown person" (we can think radical Muslims for that), and as such we'll keep getting otherwise decent Asians running in completely the opposite direction, losing all perspective and balance, to ensure such labels aren't attached to them in order to fit in to an increasingly intolerant and reactionary society.
  13. I hope so. There's so much rotten with that radio station and supposed voice of Asians I don't know where to begin. They've been on the edge of being shut down a few times now, but they manage to pull through. I sound like a fascist, lol, but the AN agenda rubs me up the wrong way. It's insidious from top to bottom, teeming with the type of Asians I simply can't identify with, no matter their religion, culture, and gender.
  14. I too commend the guys for making a stand against these masands and pimps who feel little guilt at selling their Guru to the highest bidder. However, these gentlemen should also consider abandoning those aspects of their own lifestyles that contradict Sikhi, such as the drinking (I'm assuming) and the cutting of hair, so that when they do stand up against beadbi they can't be criticised for their own shortcomings. It's all good and well standing up for one aspect of the Sikh faith, but knowingly choosing to ignore the others is slightly hypocritical on their part. But, at least there's some dardh for Sikhi on their part, which is more than to be said about the likes of Friction, Hundal, etc. If these two paragons of vice and uber-liberalism are the type of Sikhs they desire in places such as the UK, then we're in trouble. As mad as this may sound, if I had to choose, I'd take a dodgy Jatha that gets up to nonsense behind closed doors, but on the surface tries to connect people to Sikhi, over laissez-faire, anything-goes clowns with a supposed Sikh heritage who tweet their bakwaas to their harem of equally lost sheep. In an ideal world both aforementioned groups are as bad and undesirable as each other for their own particular reasons, but if I had to choose which of the lesser of two evils to thrive I know who I'd go for.
  15. I think Big Tera has got us confused with Chinese Sangat.com.
  16. I was trying my utmost to stick to what you said without adding any masala of my own, or putting words in your mouth, as you said. I think I did OK in that respect, I just replied to your points.
  17. We weren't arguing, bro, not on my part at least. It's just vichaar, sharing ideas, etc. It's all good.
  18. I gave you an example to illustrate my point, I mentioned nothing about the merits or otherwise of being white or atheist, it was just an example to try to understand your thinking. Okay, I have learned today that good acts can be faked. I'm assuming when the cure for cancer has been discovered, most likely by a non-Sikh, I'll point at the fool who dared to do such a despicable act and say, "Ha ha, you've only pretended to cure cancer!"
  19. Faking it? So, a white atheist rescues a family from a burning building (saving them from certain death, which is a good deed in most people's minds), and according to you it didn't happen, it was fantasy?
  20. You said or suggested that only Sikhs can do good or act honourably. You still haven't answered the questions I posed. The above is a diversion. BTW, Guru Sahib can achieve anything. However, that doesn't explain your rationale for believing only Sikhs can do good. How do you explain the fact that those who aren't aware of Sikhi or Guru Sahib at all still do good?
  21. I'm curious to learn, according to you, how do you rationalise whenever a non-Sikh or non-Gursikh performs a good deed or an act of kindness? What type of force is at play in those instances? Also, a bit of shocking news for you, but the odds are that people who do their Nitnem still end up doing bad things.
  22. I know you're young, Singh, but you should be beyond this kind of thinking by now.
