A few days back when i was at the gurdwara, the Giani Singh had been explaining two shabads, sitting at the gurdwara i felt i should recite these shabads daily. So i decided that i would 2 big maala's of these shabads everyday. Then down at the langar hall i changed to 2 small maalas! And on the way home i decided that i was only going to do 1 small maala of 1 shabad. :blush2: This reminded me of a saaki i had heard before which was about a gursikh who was climbing a tree to get some ripe fruit to eat. He was finding it difficult to get this fruit so in his mind he thought- "if i get to eat the fruit i will give a sant 100 loe-yan (man version of a shawl)." So as expected he ate the fruit which was at the top of the tree, on the way down his mind changed and he thought "i worked hard to climb the tree why should sant ji get 100 loe-yan, ill just give 50" Then on the way to the shop he thought "winters nearly gone, ill just buy 10 loe-yan" Eventually arriving at the shop his mind decieted him and he said "1 loe is enough!" After this he ran to the sant and into the darbar where the sant were doing katha and told them to "put the loe on straight away." The sant asked "why whats the hurry" and the man explained the whole story and said "im worried that if you dont take the loe now, in a few minutes my minds going to persuade me to take this 1 loe away aswell" :sprint: Basically the moral of this saaki, i feel, is that your mind is totally untrustworthy, ehda kuch pata ni kado change ho jana. So if you think of something good just do it straight away without thinking about it too much. Where as when you think of something bad keep thinking about it and avoid doing it, apne man nu samjao k "chad man'na kalnu karageh" :mellow2: Bhul chuk maaf ji

I've recently had the pleasure of ordering to the UK some dastars from Amandeep Singh of www.pagrihouse.com/ who is based in India. They arrived within a week (even after having specified stitching). The material and quality are just what I'd expect if ordering personally. The service was brilliant (website, communication, secure payment via PayPal) and left me full of confidence with regards to considering future orders and hence this plug as I know there have been various queries about online ordering on this site before, but when I searched there were no personal experiences that satisfactorily suggested reccommendations. There are a few UK based websites but I found that colour and material choice was lacking as well as the option for stitching.
