G.Kaur

I just returned from a Smagam in Germany organised by AKJ.

We did Amrit Vela and after Nitnem I was told that I'm not allowed to do Naam Simran with the other Amritdharis because I didn't get Naam Drirh at my Amrit Sanchar. I've been told by people that they think I should go pesh at an Amrit Sanchar organised by Panj Pyare from AKJ because I didn't get Naam Drirh and that is mandatory. The way I understand it, a person have to go pesh if they have committed a bujjar kurehit, how can you go pesh because you didn't get Naam Drirh? Isn't that like doing besti of your Panj Pyare and say "the Amrit I got isn't the right one let me get the right one here?"

I don't understand why people who didn't get Naam Drirh aren't allowed to do Amrit Vela with those who did? How (and why) does your Naam Kamaai have an effect on other people?

Could someone please shed some light on my questions. Thank you.

Is that you G Kaur?

No it isn't.

I read one comment and I can't be bothered about reading the rest! Probably a lot of BS.

It's incredible how you can update your twitter/facebook whilst people around you are getting killed.

Lol I'd want one of the above in a aloo parontha style, haha

Just wait, in a few years we will have menu cards with:

Jatt with sour cream and onion.

Tarkhan with barbecue.

Khatri with mustard.

Rajput with tomato and basil.

Chamar with salt and vinegar.

Brahman with salt and pepper.

The most important question is, who's going to be the jathedar/jathedarni of the island?

You guys are funny.

What does it consist of?

I visited Gurdvara Harianbelan 4 years ago. I took this picture of some Nihang Singh's there, could someone tell me just by looking at the picture if they are making Sukh-Nidhaan?

What is raggara?

Too much Fanta drinking is bad for you.

Don't insult my Coca-Cola by calling it Fanta! lol

It takes two to play tango. I wonder what happened to the girl...

Oui.

You can get a return ticket to Delhi/Amritsar or Chandigarh airport for 54 UK pounds so it's still cheaper to buy a ticket to Delhi and then to Amritsar or Chandigarh than a direct flight from UK to Amritsar.

Anyone been to Chandigarh airport?

It sounds great but isn't it quite expensive compared to tickets to Delhi?

I bought mine to Delhi for 438 UK pounds. I could get a cheaper one with Turkish Airlines or Qatar Qirways.

"were planning to tie the nuptial knot"

what does that mean?

It means they were planning to get married.

Why doesn't this surprise me anymore?

Lol sorry I thought you meant pharmacists on this forum.

Please take a look at the following. They may be helpful to you.

Morroco Method: Vegan + Natural Shampoo

Max Green Alchemy: Vegan Shampoo

Ethically Engineered: no bottle shampoos, etc.

Thank you. I'll have a look when I get home from work.

If you're willing try wearing a chunni instead of a keski, for a period of time ie one month.

I've never thought it healthy to wear a tight head covering all the time.

No, I'm not going to do that. I don't wear a tight head covering all the day anymore but I used to.

what about massaging almond oil into your scalp at night? or sarron di tayl? moisturizing the scalp might help the itching. also, exposing it to direct sunlight, through an open window, for a period of time each day could help.

I've read/heard many different things about using oil on your scalp when you have dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis. All the doctors I have spoken to said massaging oil on your scalp is like "feeding" the fungus. On the internet I read that oil (coconut oil) is good and can prevent dandruff/seborrhoeic dermatitis.

I've tried using coconut oil but it didn't really help. I bought some almond oil but I haven't tried it yet.

I used to tie my keski right after kesh ishnaan when my hair was still wet and I lost a lot of hair because of that. Now I air dry my hair and it gets sunlight too when I sit in my garden.

Who is a pharmacist here?

The only thing I can think of right now is a very delicious apple-marzipan-chocolate-coconut cake but don't think it would go without sugar and wheat flour.

You can also make some salads with your apples.

Thanks for the advice, Suryadev, however I don't have white dandruff as you see in the Head & Shoulders adverts, I have seborrhoeic dermatitis and the only shampoo that has worked for me is ketoconazole.

It all started in the UK in 2006 (yes I am blaming the uk, patha nahi paani di ki bimari lol). I have a very itchy scalp and I've lost a lot of hair. I was 21 back then when it started and it's not normal to loose so much hair when you are only 21. I've been to 5 different doctors here (2 GPs and 3 different dermatologists) and a dermatologist in Punjab. All the doctors here told me that I should stop covering my head and then the itchiness and hair loss will stop. But the problem is that when I don't cover my head (after kesh ishnaan) it's also itching. I've tried more than 10 different shampoos, creams and other products, spent a lot of money on products so I can get my hair back but it hasn't really helped

2 months ago I went to a dermatologist unit at a hospital and they said there's a change in the texture of my scalp and that's why my scalp is itching, not because I'm covering my head like all the other doctors said. They told me to use Nizoral in a higher dose than normally recommended + a steroid cream and there's a little change now. This is why I'm asking for a shampoo without animal ingredients because the only one you can get here contains animal collagen.

I know you probably don't care about the above haha

I'm looking forward to going there in 2 months

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing. Food for thought.
