Bbc'S Young Carpenter For The Year 2012-A Sikh!

[humkire]

Dearest Gurpyari sangat jeeo, I have just watched the BBC3 programme of ''Young Carpenter of the Year ''(UK), where 6 well chosen contestants had to compete for this title and through GurMaharaj's kirpa the award went to a lovely turbanned Sikh i.e Tirbhavan Singh nicknamed Tibby.

They had to execute various tasks such as building a skirting board, a duck house and fitting a kitchen. They had to work in a limited time constraint and display knowledge, experience, skills, creativity, planning, right attitude, dedication and responsibility. Tibby impressed the judges at every stage especially for his methodolical approach, professionalism and passion and was the ultimate winner.

What impressed me was how this lad became an ambassador for Sikhi throughout the programme. They showed coverage of the local gurudwara where he voluntarily has done restoration work for a year, and he talked openly about, and explained the concept of sewa in Sikhism and how Sikhs inherently serve the communities they live in through selfless service. Tosee this on national TV a youing Sikh with beard and turban talking inspiringly about his religion in a humble and honest manner and impromptu coverage of a gurudwara during a competition brought big tears and vairaag to me instantly. He projected through his words and personality that Sikhs are perfectionists who do not cut corners and cheat but are a people of humility and passion who have a winning attitude. The judges were absolutely impressed with him.

They were also showing the families of the contestants and thus it showed about 4 male members of his family all turbanned and cool looking mature people. His motheof the Queen, and that was very moving too. Likewise Tibby hugged the other contestant who failed in the final round.

I am absolutely impressed by such chardikela for Sikhi on BBC3 on national UK TV that I had not been expecting on a Sunday evening!

Correcting a little typo in post above.... the 4th paragraph should read....They were also showing the families of the contestants and thus it showed about 4 male members of his family all turbanned and cool looking mature people. His mother hugged compassionately, one of the white contestants a royal carpenter of the Queen, who got rejected in the semi final round, and that was very moving too. Likewise Tibby hugged the other contestant who failed in the final round.
