three days back, i made aloo gobi, and cholay for my friends…
i realized two things, when making tharee (the sauce) for cholay,
do not add cream cheese as, the thickening agent, as it add a
grittyness to the taste, also the only way i can make rotia
is through the frozen kind from golden temple.
We all have read this shabad
So after 120 days the soul enters the fetus, not just any soul but a soul of a shaheed, a soul of a sant, a soul of a sihpahi, a soul of rabh’s pyaara, just a bhagat of God….. a soul of consciousness…
OK so now looking at the panth, why are the kids in to sikhi and the parent’s aren’t. well 23 years ago Harminder Sahib was attacked, so when Darbar Sahib and the panth were under attack, Oh the mothers woke up and Brothers and Sisters and Husband woke up from the slumber and started praying for the safety of the Akal Takath.
Now you say oh what bout the older ones, that simple lol in 78 there was the nirankaari massacre, also umm ever since partition , umm Sikhs have taken interest with in sikhi =)
Hope I did not offend anyone, and I hope it made sense and something to think about
Bul chuk maafi
So it occurred to me that after my interview with the CIA i need improve upon my punjabi reading skills to “natural fluency”. right now, with Rabh Di Mehar di naal I need improve my general punjabi reading skills, such as picking up the paper and just reading the article. so that’s what i did, i went to ajitweekly.com and went to this article.
I was not too sure, but when i saw the words “New York” in Punjabi it intrigued me.
Now i wasn’t too sure if i was reading the paper properly, however my mom, who came to visit me for my birthday, which is tomorrow by the way =). read it with me.
It was such a disturbing article, and it reminded me to Sukha Singh Ji’s Katha about the common Punjabi/Indian belief that a “Wife is the Shoe to her Husband” so sad…
anyways then i found the article at the NY times here it is Parents held responsible for Child’s DeathThe whole gist of the article, which is so disturbing to read with in punjabi, is about an inter-faith love marriage, Muslim Male and Sikh Female had a love marriage and gave birth to a female. Mother’s parent take the child, in their custody… then kill the baby girl, in a unimaginable way.
This just disturbs me in many ways…. i know i can not judge this but wow the amount of karma which is going here is definitely intense, also there are so many things with in this case that occur with in Punjabi culture, with in Punjabi Hindu, Punjabi Sikh, and Punjabi Muslim households, that no one talks about or confronts.
It is defiantly something we need to address and speak about. So many issues, such as gender roles, gender equality, inter-faith, cultural stereotypes, domestic abuse when will we start acknowledging these problems, or will we just ignore them and let someone else figure it out.
