Remember being told when you were a kid that if you swallowed any of the seeds inside an apple, the fruit would start growing in your stomach?





 And then learning later that it was all a joke? Well…turns out that might not be so far from impossible

The Boston Herald reports that a pea was discovered sprouting in the windpipe of Ron Sveden, 75-year-old man from Massachusetts. Physicians first thought Sveden was suffering from a cancerous tumor. Tested samples from a biopsy indicated that the spot seen on an X-ray was a plant and not a tumor. The pea plant was removed with surgery by doctors at Cape Cod Hospital.

A month earlier the 75-year old lifelong smoker began feeling fatigue, loss of appetite and was coughing more.  He had been hospitalized for 10 days before a lung biopsy discovered what was causing his symptoms.
Sveden said his health improved once the plant was removed.

"Thankfully it's all over," he said.

"Now I'm just waiting for a call from the Jolly Green Giant," Sveden joked. :happy:

Many of us who are Sikhs don’t realize the many close ties and things in Sikhi that are in fact Yoga. Many Sikhs think of Yoga in a negative way because they associate it as a other religions practice, or that the writings in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib say that "yoga is bad" when in fact this is a total mis-understanding and most of the time taken out of context.



Our Sikh Guru have always talked about Yoga in Positive way..like Tenth Master says: "Meditating on Him, as the Single aim and thought, even for the fraction of a second, has liberated humans from the noose of death."

We can read plenty of examples in Gurubani where stress on Yoga has been given to reach unto Wahiguru and our utmost potential.A description of six chakras exists in Gurbani. There is also reference in it to the “upside down” lotus. When this “upside down” lotus blooms, God realization takes place (GG, 108[3]). Guru Nanak says that this lotus blooms when all the four kinds of fire — violence, selfishness, anger and greed — are extinguished by remembering God and the sadhak experiences the ecstasy by drinking nectar

Gurubani Linked To Yoga

- ਕਟੀਐ ਤੇਰਾ ਅਹੰ ਰੋਗੁ ॥ ਤੂੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਕਰਿ ਰਾਜ ਜੋਗੁ ॥੧

The disease of your ego shall be eradicated.
By Guru's Grace, practice Raja Yoga, the Yoga of meditation and success. (SGGS p211)

-ਪੰਚ ਮਾਰਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਰਖਹੁ ਥਾਇ ॥ ਜੋਗ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਕੀ ਇਹੈ ਪਾਂਇ ॥੫॥

So subdue the five thieves, and hold your consciousness in its place.
This is the basis of the way of Yoga.         (SGGS p1189)

though Yoga is not an inherent or required Sikh religious practice, but it aids in practice of Sikhism.

i hope i am going to practice Kundalini Yoga soon and then will share my experience with u guyz..:)

Bhanwe keh de anmol Bhanwe kodiyan ch tol
Baanwe keh de anmol Bhaanwe kodiyan ch tol
Naino hanju ban Waggey, hanju ban Waggey teri ishq kahani
Je tu samjhe ta moti je na samjhe ta paani
Je tu samjhe ta moti je na samjhe ta paani  :sad:

Tenu Ghallan main sunehe likh taariyan de utte

Saade naal sada rakheya Ae rab ne shreeka

Bas sadde hisse rab de ae, saade hisse rab de ae, aayi vand kaani
Je tu samjhe ta moti je na samjhe ta paani

Sehnda baadhi bindi karma naal, karma naal bindi ethe, milde ne haani
Je tu samjhe ta moti je na samjhe ta paani
Je tu samjhe ta moti je na samjhe ta paani-2  :sad: :sad:

Oprah is one of America’s most popular women and it would be a great opportunity and honor for a woman from the South-Asian community to be able to host a show on her network.
 
Gurmeet Sodhi based in Long Island, New York is keeping her fingers crossed even as she checks her website obsessively every few hours. In about a week from now, the Indian talk show host could have the privilege of hosting a show on Oprah Winfrey Network’s Your Own Show. The lifestyle-based talk show, which has been sifting through a worldwide submission of 15,000 entries (online and personal casting) for the past three weeks in search of an ideal host, has rated Sodhi among the top contenders.

Sodhi moved to New York from Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, in 1989, after her father landed a job in an electronics company. She was 12 then. After completing her high school from New York, she took up a part time job at a dry cleaners to supplement her parents’ income and pursued correspondence courses in finance before bagging an entry level job with a financial consultancy.

"In the last two world wars, 83,005 turban-wearing Sikh soldiers were killed and 109,045 were wounded for the freedom of Britain and the world enduring shell fire, with no other protection but the turban, the symbol of their faith'" General Sir Frank Messervy, KCSI, KBE, CB, DSO. From the forward of Colonel F.T. Birdwood OBE, The Sikh Regiment in the Second World War.

When the First World War broke out in 1914, there were six battalions of the Sikh Regiment forming part of the British Army. They were named as 14th Ferozepur Sikhs, 15th Ludhiana Sikhs, 35th Sikhs, 36th Sikhs, 45th Sikhs and 47th Sikhs. Since Sikh soldiers were known for their bravery, the British employed all their battalions, except the 35th Sikhs, for fighting at such far-away places like Egypt, Palestine, Mesopotamia, Gallipoli and France.

With the outbreak of war in Europe, India, the Crown Jewel of the British Empire, joined the Allies in battle on the 4th of August 1914.Contributing the most volunteers of any of the British imperial holdings that fought in the war, India produced between 900,000 to 1.5 million troops for combat by 1919.  Of these troops, the Sikhs, one of the two loyal 'martial races' of the British Raj, rallied in enormous numbers for the King, Empire, and the defence of Europe.

At the beginning of the war, Sikh military personnel numbered around 35,000 men of the 161,000 troops of the Indian Army, around 22% of the armed forces, yet the Sikhs only made up less than 2% of the total Indian population.  By the end of the war 100,000 Sikh volunteers joined the British Armed forces with a few Sikhs also contributing to the French Air Service and the American Expeditionary Force.

SIKH MONUMENTS IN EUROPE


The "Black Lions," as the Arabs called them in Mesopotamia, of the Punjab sacrificed their lives for the defence of freedom in Europe for an ally that was ruling their own homeland, yet they did it out of honour and loyalty.

I will try to add MORE bravery stories  of these Sikh martyrs who didn't fight for any race, religion but just for the only reason that is  "HUMANITY".

The phall has achieved notoriety as the hottest generally available dish from Indian restaurants. For example, the well-known Brick Lane Curry House in New York has a "P'Hall of Fame" on their website and will provide customers who finish the dish with a free drink and a certificate. In the UK, a charity competition was based on competitors eating increasingly hot phalls.

Phaal, which contains ten different chilies and emits so much heat that chefs wear a protective mask while making it, first appeared on Brick Lane’s menu in 2002, but an appearance on the Travel Channel’s sleeper stunt-food hit “Man Vs. Food” in 2008 put it on the map for local stunt diners.


On the show, host Adam Richman took the “Phaal Challenge,” in which diners brave 16 ounces of the ultra-spicy curry in pursuit of a free beer, a certificate of completion and a place in the restaurant’s online Phaal of fame. Richman finished his order, and others soon arrived to replicate that feat.

TOYOTA RAV 4






The third-generation RAV4 has loads of style, and it always looks solid and pleasant on the eye from any position you care to gaze at the vehicle from.  The nose is nicely sculptured and the headlights are wide-eyed and purposeful.  A high waistline gives the RAV4 a robust and muscley look that is accentuated with its wide 17 inch wheels and flared wheel arches.
The Rav4 is a  vehicle that not only looks tough;  it has has the credentials to tackle slippery conditions and plenty of off-roading jaunts.  The electronically controlled AWD system is designed to help prevent the vehicle slipping sideways during steep off-road hill descents.  It provides “feet off” driving down a steep incline.  The latest AWD system was developed by Toyota to provide enhanced control and improved fuel economy.  Toyota Active AWD is a compact system that controls torque distribution between the front and rear axles. It achieves this by using a newly developed electromagnetic coupling in the rear differential housing. The electronically controlled Active AWD system saves engine power and fuel by only driving the front wheels.
