Expecting a bit of Sewa from the Chief Minister

Sardar Prakash Singh Badal ji,
Sikhs are fleeing(immigrating from)Punjab at a very fast rate.You cannot escape atleast a part of the blame.You can,perhaps,do atleast something to bring about some Prakash(light)in the life of the ordinary folk.For example you can bring some transparency in the Police department.Police is the last option where a person looks for help. Allow the complaints to be lodged by email or the sms.Computerize the revenue department so that it becomes a little less corrupt.The electricity complaints ought to be looked into even when they are made through an sms or an email.Perhaps these small things do not require any big budget.What they require is only a little bit of honesty.And they would bring about a big difference in the quality of life of the ordinary people. If only a few Badals(clouds) of corruption allow some light to pass to the people ,the Sikhs may stay back in Punjab,their home land.A little less corruption from the government departments would be quite like a Sewa from your side.Otherwise transparent governance is a matter of right as far as a modern civilized society is concerned.
Yours
An ordinary person

Resolution

On 1st November it would be 25 years since the antisikh riots of 1984.Let we the sikhs resolve that no undermatric guy is allowed to highjack the panth as it happened in the eighties.Being an undermatric is not an abuse but it does become when a person of such calibre starts spitting fire.It did happen in the eighties.Resolve to snub the bigots at the budding stage.Bycott people with bigmouth who preach violence in the name of religion.Oppose them so that we do not have any 1984 in the future.

The apt name for Diwali can be Bombali.

Deewali has perhaps lost its meaning as it is no more an expression to express solidarity with the truth by lighting a few diyas(earthern lamps)at the door steps.In fact there aren'nt any Diyas in use anymore.They are bombs that are put to use.According to me it is quite a criminal activity of the sort as it pollutes the environment year after the year.Perhaps Bombali could have been an apt name for this festival.Sikhs have also started giving it religious importance by saying that Guruhargobind the sixth Guru was released from the Gwalior along with 52 other Hindu Kings.Perhaps it could have been a Deewali gift to the Hindus by the Muslim emperor.This gift of freedom given got in the form of charity is in no way supposed to be celebrated with pollution creating crackers.When Diwali was celebrated at Amritsar it could have been more due to the need for consolidating the Sikh power.It is high time the Hindus bring about a reform in this festival and the Sikhs replace it with a more purposeful and meaningful activity.

If a shoe could travel against time and defy the laws of motion.

In the recent past a journalist flung his shoe towards the Indian Home Minister for his alleged denial of justice to the 1984 riot victims.I wonder where all the shoe could have hit if only it could travel against time and could defy the laws of motion.The shoe could perhaps travel back to 1947 and hit the politicians who sought to divide the people in the name of religion.The shoe could travel into the early eighties and hit on the heads of those terrorist who shot people in the buses by discriminating them on the basis of their religion.The shoe could have hit right on the top centre of the head of those blood thirsty devils who killed unarmed people in Punjab and hid in the holy buildings.The shoe could hit on the cheeks of those NRI's who preach hatred in
the name of religion.Perhaps the shoe could not have spared the stupid people who cannot differenciate between defence and offence and are hell bent preaching violence and misinterpreting the religion.

Betrayal of salt

In 1984 two Sikh security guards shot Indira Gandhi dead.It was not an act of bravery.It was betrayal of salt.What a heavy price of this betrayal the sikhs had to pay!!!
