I guess im lukier than some of you guys, im the oldest in my family so all my younger brothers and sisters call my bhaji, and if they dont..... mum gives them a thupar!!

lol :@

I always been bought up to call my elder cousins bhaji etc, and id feel weird with my family members calling them by their names alone, sometimes you would use their name as a prefix eg, simra bhaji... but not alone.

As far as with your mates, i agree with some that it depends on your relationship with the person, often you dont actuly know their name so you have no choice but to call them bhaji or penji. other times with people that you know it just depends on the way ur feeling at the time, i find that if your in a good sikhi mood, ie feeling guru ji's pyar and are feeling humble then you would tend to call everyone bhaji etc, or bhai sahib or bibi ji.

Else if someone of particular respect is being spoken to, then if not using brother or sister, you would say their full name eg, Baljinder Singh etc.

And of course theirs always the good old 'OIIIII'

wjkk,wjkf.

its important for people to understand that treating someone with the same respect as eg bro/sis doesn't neccessarily mean you see them as such. its more about setting the boundries;

its sort of just become a fashionable thing to call everyone paaji/panji.

personally i refuse to call someone paaji/panji unless i truely see them as such, afterall this kind of relationship is so pure & strong, it shouldn't be chucked around lightly... calling someone paaji completely removes the possibility for me to even consider any marital stance for the future with him & as mentioned before, make everyone a panji/paaji you've no one left to make your better half. B)

...its comes down to this; whatever you do, be sincere - not for show...

bhul chuk maaf

I agree with 'kaur @ guru's feet', I would only call someone a veerji/bhainji if I regard them as that. If I call them a bhainji/veerji, then I would have to accept them as my brother or sister.

Vicky veerji brought out a solid point..

Everybody that i know i always call/chat/use their first name..

most of the time using bhaenje/veerjee to me is a fakepan..

kaur @ gurus feet, i m at ur feet ^_^ :WW: ...u juz said it out plain, clear and perfect :@:@

and another thing i have noticed is that the ones whom i really love as my sisters, i hardly call them penji, and they being younger do address me as veerjee...the only time i remember calling them penji is when i have to tell them something out of love...its more of love from inside that matters rather than external verbal respect.

Waheguruji Ka Khalsa!

Waheguruji Ki Fateh!!

"Kaur@guruji's feet" said the right thing..... Its the respect that matters and we dont have to tell each other how much respect we have for each other.... we know that a fellow sikh has utmost respect for their brethern............We all are guruji's kids.....and i guess we could simply call each other by their name with "JI" or preferrably reffring each other "khalsaji"...coz thats what we are trying to be and thats motive of each one of us.........

bhul chuk maaf karni...... blush.gif

    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
