  1. snap... that's the one where u have to get a set of 3 aces... no... i mean u have to say if the next card is higher or lower... no that's not right either... do u have teams in snap?... i'm confused! :? :cry:
  2. definately!! wot u wanna play? sat saran, pabhi, seep, rang dabban?... or some crappy gora game?
  3. jx3, u don't believe in learning to read scriptures, & u don't seem to want to rely on any external sources for information... where then do u get your information? divine communication? "why is it that if a man talks to god he's religious, but if god talks back he's insane?!"
  4. i'm sorry, but what a load of crap!! if u get struck by lightning, having a piece of wood in your hair won't do jack! think about it like this... a bolt of lightning has just 'torn' its way through a mile or more of air (an excellent insulator), raising the temperature of the air to 30,000 degrees C (5 times the surface temperature of the sun) & literally tearing the molecules in its path apart, ionizing the air... but it's ok, because that tiny piece of wood in your hair will protect u!!! & the last place u want to stand during a storm is under a tree... the human body is a better conductor of electricity than wood (or earth for that matter), & the bolt will go through u. 'the flame is still alive', u should really check out your information before saying something... before someone actually believes it & gets hurt! if anyone wants more info on lightning, they can find some interesting stuff here: http://www.uic.edu/labs/lightninginjury/ltnfacts.htm ps it's spelt lightNing, not lighting! ----- now about the actual question, i think pheena hit the nail on the head... who cares what the kanga is made of. there was no plastic in the guru's time & a metal kanga may well be too hard for the scalp as well as incredibly hard to make. wood on the other hand, is cheap, readily available & easy to work with.

  9. congratulations rupy... u solved it... we are not worthy of one so intelligent! show us the path! on a side note, i just realised where you're from... i've been to boston! even with all those stipulations, he'll still beat u... he'll be able to smell u coming from a mile away!!

  17. there are various sikh camps now run all over the world. they provide a variety of different functions... introducing 'newbies' to sikhi, providing access to information & different views from speakers, networking etc. i wanted to start a thread to get feedback from everyone who's been to a sikh camp (especially camps aimed at 16yrs+) & see what everyone thinks of them. which camp(s) have u been to? what was good about the camp? what was bad about the camp? what improvements/suggestions can u give for future camps? which types of speakers were particularly good / particularly bad? anything else u can think of?
  18. i've heard of adda kadda... but what's adda kadabha?

  20. now that u mention it, i have noticed that some men have feminine traits... & vice versa. that's very tru... er... not that i've ever made the mistake of thinking someone was of the wrong gender... no siree... not me... :roll:
  21. there are many paradox's in gurbani. probably the most well known being the nirgun (non-physical) / sargun (physical) attributes of akaal. as jt posted on another thread: 'Sahas tav nain nun nain huhi tohi ko, suhus moorati nunaa ek tohi' so how can this apparent paradox be resolved?... i have a few alternatives... 1. part of akaal exists in physical form, & another part as non-physical. there is a dynamic relationship between the two. to truly appreciate akaal we must worship both the manifest & the non-manifest qualities. 2. akaal is non-physical & the references to sargun attributes are metaphorical... poetical representations of love. 3. all physical reality is an illusion. it is a lie created by our minds. & as such so are the sargun qualities of akaal. 4. akaal exists as both nirgun & sargun, whereby not part of akaal is nirgun & part sargun, but all of akaal is both nirgun & sargun at the same time. the only analagy i can think of is wave-particle duality in quantum physics, where light is both a wave and a particle at the same time. 5. akaal is beyond both nirgun & sargun & exists in a state which is uncomprehensible to the human mind. 6. none of the above. i don't know if any of what i said makes sense, or whether i'm just being really stupid. personally i think it maybe a mixture of 4 & 5... that akaal exists as nirgun, sargun, & beyond. & a stage of enlightenment is expanding your mind to encompass & accept these apparently contradictory ideas... Ã la double think in george orwell's 1984. then again... it could be that... :? ... help!... i'm confused!! :?:
