Check out this thread 
 

This is for those who may be interested, I have had the opportunity to write a number of books recently, initially they were for sponsors of the podcasts but due to demand I have decided to put some of them out on a self publication site. Slowly they will increase in number with the Sarkutavali Teeka and Gagar Cho sagar also being added in June and August respetively.

At the moment there are three books available to purchase which are the 'Sahaskriti and Gatha Teeka by Mahant Ganesha Singh', 'Matra by Baba Sri Chand Ji' and 'The Jap Ji Sahib Katha 01 - Mul Mantra Katha by Sant Gurbachan Singh Bhindrawale'
They are all on the following link

Thank you, and just so you anyone is aware there is no profit for these books as they all go back into the Sikhism in Snippits podcast

I feel for you bro... 
Don't assume people will not understand as if you open up people may share a little bit about them-self which will make you realise thats things could be a lot worse. 
I've also been in a position where i couldn't get a job and sitting at home with law degree. It got to a point where i started working on construction sites and doing driving jobs (needed the money) i lost all hope in terms of career, but i've never been a career minded person..Its only recently that i got an 'office' job and this was simply because i looked at another direction in terms of career. You may want to consider other options interms of your career. (i know this will be very hard)
Being in a dark times can be a blessing in disguise (people used to piss me off when they would say that to me, but its true), you will find out who is really there for you. My nani would always say to me 'it's not important for you to be around people in their happy times but make sure you are there for them in their sad times.'  
On more practical level, stick to your bani and consider doing some jaap's of manters you are familiar with. (get digital counter) Most will say do sukhmani sahib paath, which is very good but i felt personally dasam bani manters helped me big time(this worked for me, it may not work for you). 
Try not staying home all day, this is mentally draining, even if you go for hour walk in morning and hour at night. carry on training...don't stop this!!
If you can do some voluntary work, (or any work), its good just to be out and interacting with other people.
If you don't mind me asking, are your parents supportive of your situation...when i started working on sites my dad couldn't accept the fact that i was doing a laborers job with a degree..lol. we clashed a lot. But a job is a job.
You will get through this like a' babbar sher'..lol..........Keep your head up bro..

Im not going to lie..i dont really like gora/spanish recitation of gurbani but i could not be, but 'be' absorbed in this recitation....maybe because its dasam bani..lol...(don't call me racist..lol)
 

I've had this on repeat. I love it aahhhhhhhh. Waheguru :) No words
 
It is great for calming down before simran and it keeps your body at a very calm state throughout the day.

for me (could be wrong)
Sangat is group of people 
Sat sang/sangat is congregation
Sadh sangat is sangat of sadhus (one actually doing sadhana)

Let's see. You use an actual photo of yourself on your profile picture. You post an article of an interview with you in the forces which shows your picture and your real name and occupation. You post photos of your wedding. No possible damage to your real life there. But...
I call you by your real name  and suddenly your life is possible danger.
The only damage to your life has been caused by you. The way you have conducted yourself on this forum is despicable. Changing aliases won't help. You have to change yourself. And stop playing the blame game.

My god that has to be the most boring and unenthusiastic chant that I have ever heard!

Just done some body weight training after a few days of cold. The worst of it seems over. I feel better for it. 

Good idea!!..but i feel cardio better then weights for recovery from cold..
you wont be able to do as much but atleast you've trained and sweated a bit out too..you may also feel more drained then usual post workout but thats normal
when ive got bad cold, after ive got through the first 1-2 bad days i will wrap up and go for run to sweat it out, always worked for me..it speeds up recovery...

It's all cool. No harm done. 
Just everyone learn appropriate lessons and move on. 
 
 

Puratan paintings of Singhnis almost never show the sikh women wearing turbans. Most paintings I have looked at often show Singhnis with braided hair or sometimes with a top-knot.
That said...
Out of like a hundred paintings I looked at, I saw one where it seemed like a Singhni is wearing a dastaar boonga. It could be a prepubescent male since there is no visible breast shape in the painting however the clothing, pink salwar kameez, seem to suggest that it is a woman with her family.



This was painted in 1838 Ad.
 

i wasn't a big fan of men and women calling each other bro and sis then later hooking up, we would call this the 'sister flex'..lol
however... your situation is different and i would just advise stay friends, keep chatting and see what happens...now that she know's its not 'bhaji' talking to her maybe your convos will change too..she may change her mind. Good luck!
That vids hillarious!!!

just finished. glad it was home. hit new weight of 55 lbs(25 kilos) DB each side on flat press , only for 4 reps though.  But its still progress.
 

Yeh,cool man..dont worry about that girl shit...she was probably trying to be the 'innocent' type and leading you on..(plenty of them, don't be fooled)..it is what it is man..
yeh thats why i avoid chest days on mondays as everyone is on that bench..lol..
Yeh man.. go at your own pace....its all good..

haha I dont even look big yet, still a beginner.
I have it on the back of mind, I am never too proud to listen to someone. Life is a bit unsettled, some other things on priority before that, but once the finances are settled & shit, then I will get into it. ;)
Was feeling lethargic, had some coffee, logged in here & now time to hit some chest & tris.

Yeh man, start training hard and keep focused on it..
I remember singh123 was offering you some muay thai training (if someone offers you help, do not be too proud to take it)...bro as you've got time on your hands..make this time productive. No point looking big if you cannot fight, they go hand in hand.. You need power, but you need to know how to execute that power with technique.. 

Sneaky...
 
I see how you just stayed quiet about it until today......
 
Don't worry about the odd bit of coffee. Caffeine will probably do you good right now.
