I'm one those Singh's that tie his joora at the back. For professional/social environments I will tie a pagh. Sometimes you get caught up in this fast-moving world in which for convenience sake you just tie patka and move on. A pagh ultimately looks much better when going to a social event and/or work.

Bump!

History is being repeated but in a systematic way. Its being re-written.

She may not have chosen the wisest words but its fair to say people got killed for speaking out. But good for her. Hopefully she can learn from this situation.

I dont believe it was a black kid.

We are screwing eachother over to even care about religion.

Call them 'shorty'....they badd haha

Tough. But guess money talks. Maintaining your identity is one thing but getting married is another thing. Could be wrong. Makes you think about the quote by Guru Gobind Singh: Raj Bina Nahin Dharam Chale Hain, Dharam Bina Sab Dalle Malle Hain

Hard to explain. But it probably takes some realization along the way before you start placing expectations on yourself. For example, my grandpa use to tell me stories on how he use to work upto 17hours on the fields and then theres my father who works alot of hours in his job. And myself being the only male and sardar you realize this is not going to be easy (keeping your identity and grinding through life). You try your best and leave the rest to good faith. At the sametime be thankful. Its tough however, especially when you come from rough/troubled upbringing. Can just say keep praying and keep yourself busy which can mean doing sewa at the gudwara in your spare time.

Agree with one of the posts. As a male you tend to put higher expecations on yourself. Especially when you rock a pagh, then your representing a whole community. This is when you realize you have to be thankful for what you have and just keep pushing forward. And when it comes to marriage just pray you get the proper partner. Our Guru's emphasized marriage life but if nothing is really coming your way despite you making an effort then whats the point? Arrange marriage?

Before Hindu, Muslim or Sikh be Human first This was NOT said by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Don't know where apnay got this quote from.

Peeps are trying to move on from the 80's and here you are bringing it up again. They say a picture is worth a thousands words.....those pics of the kharkus during the 80's with the AK's say enough.

Your awake and is concience of what your doing. You can improve yourself from here through naam, sewa and smrin. All the best.

Attend Sangat. Naam, simrin and sewa will take you a long way. Not wisest person (trims beard, drinks alcohol) but steadily we can conquer our minds. We have to tame the 5 robbers from our mind and become gurmukh.
