Yeah.

See them all the time mate.

Occasianally with give them a few rupees, as much I have at that time cause I feel really bad for them.

I got photo saved on my laptop and look at it once in a while.

The worst i saw in Punjab was in Nawanshahr Bazaar, it was an elderly man dragging himself on the floor with a bowl in one hand and half of his face was missing, i saw his skull, eye socket and teeth area of his skull, half of his face was just missing. I'm never gnna forget that.

It is sad but one of my cousins over there told me if you offer them a job they will refuse it and prefer to beg, there's more money in it.

That depends, like those gadiyan wale that beg, they make a lot of money! but people that you see sleeping on road sides are different.

No i have no idea what happened to him, but I had never seen a human in that condition before. The last time i went India we were traveling to Hazur Sahib on train and the train stopped at some station in Maharastra and I saw a very malnourished dying man on the platform laying on his side, he was naked and his thigh was as thin as my wrist. I was like 2 meters away from him. Your head just goes blank when you see something like that, you just freeze, and there's shock. But everyone was just walking past him minding their own business. You just don't know how to take it all in. During the rest of the train journey i just had him in my head. I doubt it he made it another day, but he was still breathing. 

Another thing which I don't like over there is the treatment of animals, i just hate that. While in Punjab waiting for the bus I saw a donkey with its eyes covered with those leather caps, a wooden cart attached to him and he was just standing there on the side of the road absolutely emotionless and still, pin drop silent. Waiting for the next load to be piled onto the cart. What kind of life is that for a animal? How long was it just standing there, 1 hour? 3 hours?  5 hours?  i went over to it and stroked its face, everyone driving past probably thought i was stupid. It was just standing there as still as anything. 

I really don't like the misery you see in India.

    • 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.
