  1. Reading through the posts on this topic - its the same thing floating around in the mind of all sikhs - 1. Everybody hates sikh jokes 2. Every body wants to do something 3. But you cant do anything...you will come across people who will make sikh jokes ... and you cant beat the SH*T outta everybody ! 4. so you take solace from the fact - AND CONCLUDE ... a) LIFE IS BIGGER than all these jokes... and so are sikhs. Most people adore and respect sikhs ...and most of the people making sikh jokes are JERKs ... or people who missed out on soomething basic in their childhood ...i unconsciously put the guys making sikh jokes in a special "dimwit ..uncivil, ill-bred people" category in my brain. And move on ...
  2. I have myself always been really fascinated by the photograph of Shri Guru Gobind Singhji- i mean you read about him and then you see his pictures ...that personality...the charisma...its all awesome.
  3. Yeah - i was told to do bhangra...but then i am such a pathetic bunch of two left feet - they let me go immediately after that - and was never ragged again !
  4. wow...you need 1. Money 2. God's Grace 3. More Money Its important mainly bcos - though you would get the support of sangat all over the world - but you need to have enough money to get started and to support yourself. I'm gonna start saving money for all that right away ...good ideas...kudos. :-)
  5. Ahh...well - yeah i too have figured the best way s to ignore such trivial things...but you see the point is - there is very vague line between a trivial joke and a hurting joke. i too myself have faced many situations where sitting with a big bunch of strangers and then theres a sikh joke and everybody is staring at your face - looking to see how you react :-) !!! But with my group of friends - its like everything is comfortable. If i could help it(and most of us i believe) i would put an end to all sikh jokes(which are genrally lifted blonde or irish jokes) - like wake up one day and realise there are no sardar jokes ! I think the "Sikhs used to be a lively community... Least bothered about such issues..." - is more of a statement of resignation because - sikh jokes are here to stay ! SO Mr IDEAL Singh - this quote is for you ... "Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. " He He kidding ...keep the faith ssa..!
  6. Got involved into the web ... four years back to impress a gal !...that was when i was in college and 17 . And then to prove it wasnt just to impress a gal i started working with a company part time, developing a web based correspondence course for them. and last year after getting my degree started working in a software firm...and then this year ...thought it was time to follow my dream...and left the firm ...and have started on my own... and now a friend too has joined in.... we are basically into web applications. i do have a dream of making a revolutionary sikh website for the youth...but i am trying to be a good sikh myself before....i can venture on that !
