Rabbi Shergill is honoured for creating positive image of the Sikh

One year ago I discovered Rabbi Shergill. He is like John Lennon. He is an amazing Sikh singer. I even had this song as my ring tone. First time when I heard song, I didn't know the meaning but it is beautiful. That time I knew there is a great meaning behind it. I wasn't wrong. Today reading news I found out this:

"Singer Rabi Shergill and others were among those honoured on Sunday by a US-based Sikh organisation for creating positive image of the Sikh community and being role models." By Economic Times

Congratulations to Rabbi!

For those who can't understand the meaning of words, I found translation.

Not a believer inside the mosque, am

IN or a pagan disciple of false rites

Not the pure amongst the impure

Neither Moses, nor the Pharoh

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

Not in the holy Vedas, am I

Nor in opium, neither in wine

Not in the drunkard`s craze

Neither awake, nor in a sleeping daze

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

In happiness nor in sorrow, am I

Neither clean, nor a filthy mire

Not from water, nor from earth

Neither fire, nor from air, is my birth

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

Not an Arab, nor Lahori

Neither Hindi, nor Nagauri

Hindu, Turk (Muslim), nor Peshawari

Nor do I live in Nadaun

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

Secrets of religion, I have not known

From Adam and Eve, I am not born

I am not the name I assume

Not in stillness, nor on the move

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

I am the first, I am the last

None other, have I ever known

I am the wisest of them all

Bulleh! do I stand alone?

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

Bulla ki jaana is song by Baba Bulleh Shah and it by Rabbi Shergill

Gora T-shirt for all goras out there!

Sikhs marrying goras and vice versa?

I want to debate on this topic - Sikhs marrying goras and goras marrying Sikhs?

Can it be successful and how to find the golden middle? How to keep religion alive? How and where to marry? How not to loose identity of who you are?

If you are a Sikh and you reading my blog, please answer this question. Would you marry someone outside your religion? Would you parents approve of non-sikh partner?

Danka got turbanised!

Which one suits me more? I have been turbanised! Gori in turban... LOL

Turbanizer. The art of Turban tying

Look what I have found. Really cool software. I have tried wearing my father's-in-law turban..that was gas. I have a lot of respect for those who wear turban. Respect!

Indians travelling to Latvia

I'm very humbled to read the following news from economictimes.indiatimes.com
"Your holiday in Bali or Venice this summer is no longer hip — your neighbour may have beaten you by many miles with a rather exotic, out-of-the-box locale. Where’s he going — Kazakhstan, Estonia, Latvia or Marrakech, Fez, Meknes, Cappadocia, Pamukkale or Kusadasi?"
I'm from Latvia and very happy to hear news like this. Latvia is the country which was closed for tourists till 1991. When we got independence, we were allowed to travel and others we able to come here.

Now it's 2008 and Latvia has changed a lot (I mean in a good sense). If you are planning to travel to Latvia, that's great. You will probably fly to Riga, the capital of Latvia. Many people, especially younger generations speak English, so you won't have problem. I suggest you to spend your time in Old Riga (Vecriga). Old Riga is beautiful medieval city in the city center. There are many cafes and restaurants. As well there are many different city tours: walking or bus tour. I took my jaan on one of them. Really nice!

Food: go to Lido! Very nice atmosphere and very good selection of food.

Seaside: If it's summer go to Jurmala! It's seaside resort which goes for 40 km. Don't expect crazy Spain-like resort. It's very peaceful and quiet.

If you want to know more about Latvia, ask me! Would be happy to help.
