Very Interesting“It’s easy to joke on a Sardar, but It's too difficult to be a Sardar"I was standing at Jalandhar station when my attention was drawn towards a Sikh youth standing near me
wearing a Black turban, sporting a long beard and wearing a kirpan (knife) over his shirt.
After a while, one local train arrived, totally packed.
The Sikh youth tried to board the train but failed to do so.
Just then a voice was heard from the back coach 'Sardarji Barah Baj gaye' (Sir it's 12 o'clock!).
The Sikh youth looked over at the speaker
(who was a young person) and instead of showing any anger, smiled at him.
The smile was so enigmatic that it seemed as if there was some hidden truth behind it. Not able to hide my curiosity, I walked towards him and asked why he smiled at the person who teased him. The Sikh youth replied, 'He w as not teasing me but was asking for my Help'. I was surprised with these words and he told me that there was history behind those words. I was eager to know what he was talking about and the
Sikh youth narrated the following (I did not reveal that I was a non-keshdhari Sikh):
During 17th Century, when Hindustan was ruled by Mughals, all the Hindu people were humiliated and were treated like animals. Mughals treated the Hindu women as there own property and were forcing all Hindus to accept Islam or face death. During this period our ninth Guru, Sri Guru Teg Bahadarji came forward, in response to a request of some Kashmir Pandits to fight against these cruel activities. So our Guruji went to the Mughal emperor and told him that if he succeeded in converting him to Islam, he
would ensure that all the Hindus would accept the same. But, if he failed, he should stop all these atrocities.The Mughal emperor happily agreed to that but even after lots of torture to Guruji and his fellow members he failed to convert him to Islam and Guruji along with his other four fellows were tortured and sacrificed their lives in Chandni Chowk.
Since the Mughals were unable to convert them to Islam they were assassinated.
Thus our ninth Guruji sacrificed his life for the protection of the Hindu religion. In history, can you show
me any instances of anybody laying down his life for the protection of another religion?
This is the reason he is still remembered as "Hind Ki Chaddar", shield of India. The people for whose sake he had sacrificed his life did not have the gut s to came forward to lift his body, fearing that they too would also be assassinated. Seeing this incident our 10th Guruji, Sri Guru Gobind Singhji (Son of Guru Teg Bahadarji) founder of Khalsa (the Pure) made a resolution that he would convert his followers to such human beings who would not be able to hide themselves and could be easily identified.
At the start, the Sikhs were very few in numbers as they were fighting against the Mughal emperors. At that time, Nadir Shah raided Delhi in the year 1739 and looted Hindustan and was carrying lot of Hindustan treasures and nearly 2200 Hindu women along with him. The news spread like a fire and was heard by Sardar Jassa Singh who was the Commander of the Sikh army at that time. He decided to attack Nadir Shah's Kafila on the same midnight. He did so and rescued all the Hindu women and they were safely sent to their homes.
It didn't happen only once but thereafter whenever any Abdaalis or Iranis had attacked and looted Hindustan and were trying to carry the treasures and Hindu women along with them for selling them in Abdal markets, the Sikh army (although fewer in numbers) attacked them at midnight, 12 O'clock and rescued all the women. After that time when there was a need, people started to contact the Sikh army
for their help and the Sikhs used to attack the raiders atMidnight, 12 O'clock.
Nowadays, these "smart people" have spread these words that at 12 O'clock, the Sikhs go out of their senses. This historic fact was the reason which made me smile over that person as little did he realize that he was asking for my help saying 'Sardarji Barah Baj Gaye' and it meant that his Mother, Sister, Wife or Daughter was in trouble!
Plz do forward this mail to all ur friends so they can know about Sikh history.

It is easy to narrate a Sardar joke but very difficult to be a Sardar
PERSPECTIVE
ONE DAY, THE FATHER OF A VERY WEALTHY FAMILY TOOK HIS SON ON A TRIP TO THE
COUNTRY WITH THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF SHOWING HIM HOW POOR PEOPLE LIVE.
THEY SPENT A COUPLE OF DAYS AND NIGHTS ON THE FARM OF WHAT WOULD BE
CONSIDERED A VERY POOR FAMILY.
ON THEIR RETURN FROM THEIR TRIP, THE FATHER ASKED HIS SON, "HOW WAS THE
TRIP?"
"IT WAS GREAT, DAD."
"DID YOU SEE HOW POOR PEOPLE LIVE?" THE FATHER ASKED.
"OH YEAH," SAID THE SON.
"SO, TELL ME, WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM THE TRIP?" ASKED THE FATHER.
THE SON ANSWERED:
"I SAW THAT WE HAVE ONE DOG AND THEY HAD FOUR.
WE HAVE A POOL THAT REACHES TO THE MIDDLE OF OUR GARDEN AND THEY HAVE A
CREEK THAT HAS NO END.
WE HAVE IMPORTED LANTERNS IN OUR GARDEN AND THEY HAVE THE STARS AT NIGHT.
OUR PATIO REACHES TO THE FRONT YARD AND THEY HAVE THE WHOLE HORIZON.
< BR>WE HAVE A SMALL PIECE OF LAND TO LIVE ON AND THEY HAVE FIELDS THAT GO BEYOND OUR SIGHT.
WE HAVE SERVANTS WHO SERVE US, BUT THEY SERVE OTHERS. WE BUY OUR FOOD, BUT THEY GROW THEIRS.
WE HAVE WALLS AROUND OUR PROPERTY TO PROTECT US, THEY HAVE FRIENDS TO
PROTECT THEM."
THE BOY"S FATHER WAS SPEECHLESS. THEN HIS SON ADDED, "THANKS DAD FOR SHOWING ME HOW POOR WE ARE."
ISN"T PERSPECTIVE A WONDERFUL THING? MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE ALL GAVE THANKS FOR EVERYTHING WE HAVE, INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT WHAT WE DON"T HAVE..
APPRECIATE EVERY SINGLE THING YOU HAVE, ESPECIALLY YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

Law of the Garbage Truck
Wish, I could remember this each day.
Law of the Garbage Truck
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.
Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so ... Love the people who treat you RIGHT, and Pray for the ones who don't.
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
Have a blessed, garbage-free life!

Ek choti Si love story
Ek choti Si love story
Do chidiyo ki prem kahani
ek din female chidiya ne bola ki muje
chodker kahi tum ud to nahi jaoge
mail chidiya boli ud jaunga to tum
pakad lena
female chidiya boli me tumhe
pakad sakti hu par fir paa nahi sakti
male chidiya ki ankhon me anshu
agaye or usne apne pankh tod diye or
bola ab ham hamesha sath rahenge
ek din jor se tufan ane wala tha
to female chidiya udne lagi
tabhi male chidiya ne kaha tum ud jao
me nahi ud sakta
female chidiya boli apna khyal rakhna
kehkar ud gayi
jab tufan thama to female chidiya
wapas us ped par aai to
dekha ki male chidiya mar chuki thi
or ek dali per likha tha
kash ek bar to kehti ki me
tumhe nahi chod sakti
to shayad me tufan ane se pehle nahi marta
