Don't know what you mean by looking up on google, I don't think I need to. 

Not sure if you realise it, but I've come across several of your posts which talk down on other posters/posts. Sometimes it's done in an attempt at being humorous but the tone still gives it away. 

I've seen it with @jkvlondon's  and @GurjantGnostic's posts for sure. You do know a lot, and come across very intelligently and I enjoy learning from you and reading your interesting opinions and insights, but some of your posts make out that you know best and others' opinions are inferior. Like you are 'mansplaining' 

I've emerged from the end of a period of my life where I was struggling with self-doubt and a need to be accomodating EVEN WHEN I felt I was correct in my assertions. I previously forced myself to suppress what I believed to be true even though this gesture was never reciprocated by others. In order to continue my growth as a person I've decided to be considerably more forthright with my opinions, because I've realised there's no need for me to be accomodating to the point where I don't do myself and my ideas justice.

My desire to hammer home my points doesn't come from a sense of superiority, but for a feeling that I have no need to retreat into faux-humility to be heard. If you disagree with me or don't like what I'm saying because of my manner, that's no longer my problem. I will meet someone halfway if I feel there's some ground to concede. If I'm expected to do so because it's the so-called polite thing to do - at the expense of what I believe - then it's not happening, and I WILL NOT apologise for being this way.

That "inferiority complex" comes from within you. I suggest you work on it.

Okay, I'm glad you explained this. You're trying to recalibrate. By going the other way. Makes sense. 

You went from a completely timid type, to putting your opinion out shamelessly (regardless of perceived merit). It is strange to witness, but the above explains it.

Little do people know, but he is also the first Sikh to skydive wearing his Turban in 2014 in Melbourne, Australia and the first Sikh to scuba-dive with his Turban in 2016 in Antalya, Turkey.

Lol.. self-promotion.. I know a lot of folks with paags and dumallay who did that way before the above listed years.. ?

Bhappaas take good care of Gurdwara Sahibs in their cities. They also help the khalsa panth financially.

Bad thing about bhaappas is that they hijack panthic organizations.

They had completely ruined Akj. Present akj Jathedaars are repairing the damage thankfully.

Bhappaas shud admit that they lack fighting spirit and warrior mindset and shud stop taking control of panthic organizations. If they do that, they are beneficial to the Khalsa panth.

Brother, please post more on this site, you give a good perspective from India and you are very knowledgeable.

I agree with Misterr Singh. Our 'Bhappe' brothers and sisters need to up their ankh and izzat game. Many Bhappe seem to think that others will be impressed by their colorful clothing and being travel pioneers etc per the subject of the thread, but they seem to lack 'street' wiseness and it would be better for them to toughen up and tone down their clothing and dastaars . They are 'sitting ducks' again if city anti-Sikh riots occur again

I agree. 

This'll sound funny but there seems to be a serious problem with certain brothers not knowing how to dress themselves in a stylish, sober manner and looking comical as a result. lol!

I also think some tarkhans (probably African descent) also need to stop with the 'pleasant' cuddly friendly vibe and get more 'tasty'.

    • 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.
