Baee, tusi tan meinu changi welcome keeti. Shukria thuhada.
Thanks for the link for the shabads. I have found Sikhnet quite good too. You see I was looking for Bhai Balwinder Singh Rangila shabads. I can listen to his works day in day out. I love his voice. Ous di avaz sun ke shanty a jandi hai. Dil phir thanda ho janda hai, the phit Punjab di yad a jandi hai.

I wonder how old that map in Jhanda Amli’s second post is. If you look at the little key at the bottom explaining the religions there is a trishul for Hindus, a Crescent and Star for Muslims, a Swastika for the Buddhists and a Triangle for the Pre-Historic folk (ha ha).
According to that map the Sikhs did/do not exist. How odd; I could have swore the Sikhs ruled the place for many a year.

Yaro,
Mein ta bilkul nama taja admi is forum te aiyan ha. Mein thowatho bahout door betha ha, London vich.
Bas mein thuhanu sariyan noo Sat Sri Akaal kehna chouhnda ha.
Yes folks, I stumbled upon this web forum by accident, I was actually looking for a site that I could download some fine shabads from and, as I said, I found you guys. I read some very interesting postings and thought I could chip some stuff in too. I note most of the poster here are in the US and am not sure if there are many UK based guys on here. Maybe that's because of the time difference.

It is very interesting what is happening over there. I have worked for and have contracted with BP in the past, although most of my remit is in the Middle East I am now contracted to Shell, which is an Anglo-Dutch company; they aren’t short of a disaster here or there either. I was contracted in Nigeria, I kid you not, the amount of ecological mess they have made over there is unbelievable. I have seen thousands of acres laid to waste.
The funny thing is that BP does not insure any operations at all as it feels that it has enough assets to cover any disaster. It is obviously big news over there in the US but here in the UK we haven’t really heard much about it and it certainly is not headline news. Maybe that is because we have just had an general election here but even still the oil disaster is not front page news; not even on the world famous pink Financial Times of London.

Pindan vichon pind sunida,

pind sunida maari,
uthon diyan do kurian sunidian,
ek patli ke bhari,

bhari reh gayi kuaari,
aape le jaange jihna nu lagi pyari
aape le jaange jihna nu lagi pyari

Nanga rakh di clip wala passa.

Bhangra the origin is very simple. It was born in the fields of the Punjab. At the end of a hard day the men folk who were mainly the lower caste farmhands used to get pretty merry and sing songs and dance.
But the name itself comes from “Bhang” meaning cannabis or “hemp” and “ra” in Bhangra comes from the word “ragra” which means to rub or rubbing or grinding motion. They used to rub the hemp leaves in the palms of their hands and smoke the resin which was left on said palms of said hands. I have seen it done in India many times. Their musical instruments were very simple. A “toombi” (a single string instrument made from a small pumpkin like vegetable) for the sophisticated and a Dholki (double sided drum) and the tall "dhol" drum were all they needed. Hey presto, you have a party on your hands!!!
Even the Pathans of Afghanistan had similar dances to Bhangra. They were observed dancing such moves in order to pass the time away whilst serving sentences in Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s Jails in Lahore and Multan.
I’m afraid Shiva had nothing to do with it.

What is interesting about this is that none of the paintings are insured as the art galleries simply can't afford the insurance costs.
