I'll be asleep as will many others

Seeing as it's on so late it's actually probably positive for Sikhs

Damn. I'm supposed to be working on a thesis during the nights. But, I keep finding great things to watch on tv. After the Walking Dead came to an end last week I thought "great" "I can concentrate on my work without getting distracted now". But then the new series of Game of Thrones and Facejacker started. I sit down to watch that and before you know it I'm watching all kinds of crap. Even late night re-runs of the jeremy kyle show. Anything, to distract my attention from what I'm supposed to be doing. Just can't focus.

Anyway, I'll obviously be watching.

Ok....at this point...i have just noticed that the programme was on last night...so not only have I missed it but I've just wasted 3 minutes talking about watching something thats already been on. See what I mean about procastination ?

So.....was the programme any good ? Did they mention the holy significance of the turban to the Jewish and then the Mislim faith also ?

it was deliberately put on 11.20pm as to ensure the BBC had the maximum Sikh audience -this decision was based on the 2010 UK census of the Punjabi-Sikh group and their eating habits (in which 83% of this group eat at 10pm and sleep at mdnight).

Incidently, only the muslims eat later than the Sikh group. But they have a higher protien diet and less figuratevely round as comparred to their neighbouring Sikh group.

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

I congratulate all who were involved with the programme. A great job - Well done all (including the BCC). You got it right this time!!!

The icing on the cake was the fact that it ended with this track!

Boleh So Nihal !! Sat Sri Akaal !!!

It is an inappropriate music video. No Singh drives a mercedes SLK -its such a handbag motor !

Must have been a great show then. Seeing as the highlight of the show was the music at the end.

WLS, Considering it was a non Sikh Channel it was a great show (let's hope it continues). Yes the music was at the end, it wrapped things up nicely!

It's definitely worth a watch on i-player (to see what was said about the Sikhs to the British Viewers).

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
