The use of the word Sahib isn't even correct. It should be the feminine form, Sahiba.

Aren't Sikh names supposed to be applicable to both genders?

  You see loads of guys like that in Uni. I feel like people don't realize that there are easier and quick dastars to tie on. Personally, the Misl era one only takes one piece of material and like 4-5 larhs max.
