  2. The story revolves around Sikh-Diaspora. It is a depiction of the internal landscape of their psyche, state of mind and attitudes. ‘Kambdi Kalaai’, the film is focused on the state of oscillation of human mind, which makes it difficult to grasp the truth. The title song, ‘Supne vich Tusin Mile Assanu’ is the superb creation of the master metaphysical Punjabi Poet Dr. Bhai Vir Singh. The song is wonderful depiction of his spiritual experience. Metaphorically, the same has been used for the ethical righteousness which we find difficult to attain due to lack of steadfastness. Set up in the back ground of New York, the film explores how faith and human relationship mingle together to create an everlasting impact on the human psyche. http://www.nn-films.com/
  3. A Military Raid Frees 3 Hostages Held in Iraq By KIRK SEMPLE BAGHDAD, Iraq, March 23 — Acting on a tip from a detainee, a multinational military force stormed a house in western Baghdad early Thursday and rescued two Canadians and a Briton who had been held hostage by a shadowy guerrilla group for four months. James Loney, 41, and Harmeet Singh Sooden, 32, both from Canada, and Norman Kember, 74, from Britain, were discovered bound yet unguarded, officials reported. The three were whisked to the fortified Green Zone and debriefed by the authorities, officials said, but did not address the news media. The men, all antiwar advocates working for Christian Peacemaker Teams, had been captured Nov. 26 along with an American colleague, Tom Fox, 54, of Clear Brook, Va., whose body was discovered March 9 wrapped in plastic and dumped on a trash pile in western Baghdad. Mr. Fox had been tortured, handcuffed and shot, the police said. Thursday's rescue, by a force that included American and British troops, represented one of the few times that military action in Iraq has played a decisive role in a hostage release. But within hours, a surge of four car bombings, including a suicide attack, struck Baghdad, killing at least 23 people, wounding at least 48 and tempering the military's euphoria from the morning's success. The attacks followed five days in which there had been no incidents in the capital involving car bombs, or suicide bombs, according to a senior American military spokesman, who insisted that the relative lull was a result of expanded security operations. But the convergence of the devastating attacks, coming in the span of about four hours, suggested that the guerrillas' ability to operate in the capital remained unfettered. "As you're well aware, today he surged," acknowledged Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, the military spokesman, using his preferred pronoun to describe the amorphous insurgency. "He still has that capability." Military commanders jealously guarded details of the morning's rescue, saying they did not want to compromise continuing operations. General Lynch said a detainee captured Wednesday night had provided the authorities with information that guided them to the house where the three hostages were being held. The captives were found unguarded, their kidnappers having vanished, General Lynch said. Jack Straw, the British foreign secretary, said that Mr. Kember was in "reasonable" condition but that the two Canadians had to be hospitalized. Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada thanked American and British authorities for their "exceptional" role in the rescue. But he refused to confirm reports that Canadians took part in the operation, citing national security concerns despite, a statement by Mr. Straw thanking the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and "other agencies from Canada" for their role in the mission. The rescue operation, while unusual, was not unprecedented. Last September, responding again to a tip from a detainee, American forces rescued two hostages, an American and an Iraqi, from an isolated farmhouse south of Baghdad. The American, Roy Hallums, had been working as a contractor for a Saudi company when he was kidnapped in 2004. Last June, Iraqi troops raided a house in Baghdad and freed an Australian hostage, Douglas Wood, from nearly seven weeks of captivity. But according to some officials, the troops stumbled across Mr. Wood while on a routine search operation. The Rev. Alan Betteridge, president of the Baptist Peace Fellowship and a friend of Mr. Kember's for more than 40 years, told the BBC that "it's tremendously good and so unexpected after the killing of Tom Fox a couple of weeks ago, when we really did fear that each one would be killed eventually." Christian Peacemaker Teams — which is based in Chicago and Toronto and grew out of a collection of churches, including those of the Mennonites and the Quakers — sends groups of Christians to conflict zones to promote peace and human rights. The four advocates were captured while driving to meet with Sunni Arab leaders in western Baghdad. The eruption of car bombings on Thursday began about 9 a.m., when a car exploded in Karada, an upscale neighborhood, as a police patrol passed by, an official with the Interior Ministry said. One civilian was wounded. An hour later, someone set off a charge planted in a vehicle parked in the predominantly Sunni Arab neighborhood of Adhamiya, the official said. The explosion, which apparently was aimed at a passing police patrol, killed three policemen and wounded five others. Around 11 a.m., a suicide bomber detonated a car packed with explosives at the entrance to the headquarters of the Interior Ministry's major crimes unit in central Baghdad, killing 10 policemen and 5 civilians and wounding 32 others, including policemen and civilians, the ministry official reported. Five more people were killed and 10 wounded, according to the authorities, when a second car bomb exploded about 1:15 p.m. near an outdoor market and a Shiite mosque in western Baghdad. Sarah Lyall contributed reporting from London for this article, and Chris Mason from Toronto.

    Help!

    vaaheguroojeekaakhaalsaa vaaheguroojeekeefatheh !!!! bhainjee first i think you should transition yourself away from hip hop music a 40 to 60 day period Completely avoid listening to Eazy E or Lil Kim or NWA or Dr. Dre or Snoop Dogg or Jay Z or 50 Cent ... that stuff is horrible for your brain Move towards more "intellectual" R&B and rap like Common, Tribe Called Quest, Lauryn Hill, etc. And spend more time listening to Taadi Vaars, CD's like "Shaheedi Immortality," and English Katha (gurmatstudies.com) Slowly your brain will start changing and you'll realize what kind of garbage you were listening to and how Gurbani Keertan and Katha are much better After a while you will even notice a difference between Gurbani Keertan and even good rap artists, whose music could still be pretty good, awakening, intelligent. You will see that it can never be as good, awakening, and intelligent as Gurbani. There is no comparison. Rap music and R&B will start to seem BITTER (kawRRa) to you or FRUITLESS (kachaa). The more you expose yourself to different types of keertan, gurbani katha, english katha, taadi vaars, you will just think that the other music is a waste of your time. i think if you start listening to beautiful keertan by bibi parmveer kaur ji, bibi rajneesh kaur ji, bibi singh kaur (lorellei) ji, bibi snatam kaur ji, bibi rena kaur ji, bhai manpreet singh ji, sant sujaan singh ji, bhai gopal singh ji, bhai rajinder singh ji (singapore), you will be intoxicated by gurbani listen to katha by bhai parminder singh ji, bhai pinderpal singh ji, sant gyani kartar singh ji khalsa, gyani thakur singh ji listen to the speeches of sant baba jarnail singh ji khalsa keep a walkman or ipod full of keertan near you or keep those tracks on your computer also if you read more gurbani, it will help - especially when you hear a shabad, come home and find the shabad on sikhitothemax and read it out loud and try to practice the shabad. try to do it for all your favourite shabads over and over. become absorbed in the rass and the true meaning of the gurbani try to regularly visit sikhitothemax.com, gurugranthdarpan.com, srigranth.org, gurbani.org, sridasam.org, gurmatstudies.com, gurmatveechar.com please forgive me for my mistakes stay in chardee kalaa bhainjee vaaheguroojeekaakhaalsaa vaaheguroojeekeefathehhhhhh !!!!!!!!
  19. Just kidding. DO NOT do that. I think the best confidence builder is sangat. Go to sangat, and do kirtan, do seva, and have small group discussions with your sangat. Ask the kids in your sangat to test you and help you gain confidence by doing pretend interviews and have a speech contest in your sangat. :wub:
  20. just pretend like everybody is in their kacheras.

  23. vaaheguroojeekaakhaalsaa vaaheguroojeekeefatheh !!!!!! braces are to heal or correct teeth that have come in the wrong way. it is the same thing as if you got into an accident and your finger was bent backwards. if you could have surgery to fix it you would. those things could be a serious interference with your life. if you have a broken hip or a sprained ankle, etc. you need to get them healed. and doing so is allowed in gurmat because it does not interfere with rehit. however most people do not use makeup for that reason. they use makeup to be more attractive. for kaam reasons. and because of low self esteem. please forgive my mistakes vaaaheguroojeekaakhaalsaa vaaaheguroojeekeefatheh !!!
  24. wow i never knew about this it is cool that you can search for gurbani mp3's from various sites.
  25. Okay seriously veerjee I love these names ... some people might have these names already but the person must live up to the name..
