Dismissing Wrongs

The blog from thus forth is on.

You may remember a few posts down my comments why I wanted to sever my relationship with Google.

I have slightly rethought the process of choosing online services. 

The key issues with Google were first and foremost privacy related. The other more annoying thing about Blogger, this service which allows me to mange and publish the blog, ended FTP support. Long story short; FTP supported older generational web tools, which I hate have been forced lost.

Anyhow, I have come to terms with both issues and look forward to posting more often.

I want to thank everyone for the support and uplifting encouragement over the years. This blog has led me to come in contact with a wonderful group of individuals. 

Remember, back in the day, we go way back, way way back. Most of the YouTUBE talent was not even born. From Yahoo Groups, to Vicinities and MSN, HOTMAIL, there were no VLOGS, Twitter, TumBlr, FLIKR... was nowhere to be seen. As a fellow BLOGGER coined the term, Blogbrity, we were simply considered the GrandFatherOfTheBLOG.

Thank you to all, for everything.

Sit Down

So when my grade 6 English teacher Mr A. Rahemtula jee asked us to hand in our journals the second week of class for marking he said something which to this day I don’t forget. “You Fool!!!!! I know in whose room I wouldn’t want to set foot in. Yours!” and he hurled another volley of abuse “Man oh man it must be like an earthquake in there.”

After a few smirks and may smiles later when everyone had another gulp of air he said to me how do I know? I was too wounded to respond and he said he’ll tell the class: “your writing is the dirtiest I have ever seen!”

“Why do you write so messy?” asked he.

I today had the same treatment but in the hazoori of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Jee and in a calm filled voice. I learned something which I should have learnt a long time ago. And that is to keep a neat and tidy room, but beyond that your workplace home and even writing.

My writing has improved little since Grade 6 but still I haven’t come across major problems after all these years. (for the record I still think Mr A Rahemtula was one of the best assets khalsa school ever had, never come across such a teacher even after so long) His students know this first hand...

Meet Bhai Shangara Singh Jee:

He’s one of my closest associates, besides this is also my Fuffar Jee and fellow hockey player. So anyway, today I was at their house and after listening to Sehaj Paath and once they were going to start Rehrass Sahib I went out the door and told them that they shall do paath without me since my legs were sore.

Even though I didn’t intend to i said them all: “I’ll do paath on my rollerblades”

HERE IS THE POINT OF THIS POST:

So Fuffar Jee explained that I shouldn’t be doing any paath while walking around or doing something else. Especially Rahrass sahib, since it’s a chaunkee, and it is a must the Sikhs sit down and do paath in the evening time.

I hadn’t thought of that before and so I came to the startling yet basic realization that when you’re doing paath you should have a dedicated time which should be alloted out of out busy schedules. Since Guru Sahib listens to paath it must be a calm atmosphere as well.

Some from point A to point B obviously since Guru Sahib I with me all the time, and becuase i do paath in my room, my room should be neat and tidy. So Mr. Rahemtula’s voice again ringing vibrant and vivid “your room must look like an earthquake has struck”

PS. I will wtite up a sakhi directly endorsing these points when I have more time(next few days)
