Strange Behaviour

Recently I've been getting some requests to blog about my thoughts on dippers and there very strange and somewhat unintelligent antics. This first thing I find puzzling and rather bizarre is when some random person you dont even know comes up to you and starts asking you all these personal questions. This hasn't specifically happened to me but it happened to a friend of mine who shall remain unanimous. They told me about how some desi old person came up to them and began asking them such random things such as, what pind are they from? What kind of job do they have? What they were planning on becoming after school was done and so on? This type of random questioning is rather crazy especially if you dont know the person. I mean what ever happened to people minding their own business! So for those of you that ever get confronted with such questions by people you dont even know you should just reply by making up a fake pind name with 17 letters in it and tell them that your a drug dealer. That should easily scare them away. The next thing I find very humiliating and makes me feel self-conscious of myself is the famous grabbing of your suit. It's all happen to every punjabi girl who wears a suit that no one has seen before. Some aunty whether it be at gurudwara or at a party. You go towards them to say hi with your mom and before they reply to you they grab bottom of the suit and start feeling the material. And your just standing there completely embarrassed while the lady holding the shirt tries to figure out wat kind of material it is. And then to make matters worse your mom starts talking about the whole ordeal that they had to go through to get this suit made in india blah blah blah. And while your mom is telling the story the lady is just sitting there listening to your mom and feeling the suit at the same time. This type of touching of someone elses suit not only makes the person wearing the suit uncomfortable but it brings so much unwanted attention that the person wearing the suit does not want. It's fine to look at a suit and say to the person wearing it that you have a nice suit but to start touching the suit is highly unappropriate. Also if your helping someone pick out a suit to wear to a special occassion then its fine to touch the suit while its on the hanger but as soon as the suit is put on this should not happen. Okay well thats all for now.......please feel free to comment..........bye!!!!

Why do Dippers Smell??

As I was sitting in my university computer lab trying to do some research for an soon approaching essay. A very very smelly dipper came and sat three computers down from me. This guy smelled so incredibly bad it was such a horrible mix of smells that made me incredibly nausea. For all those people that want to know what the smell consisted of it is as follows, some cooked onions, combined with samosa, and a very smelly type of savji cant choose a specific one because there a lot of smelly savji's. It seems like this is this guys daily perfume or something. I dont understand why people dont realize that they smell bad, I mean how hard is it to take a shower and put some deodrant on and change your clothes once everyday. This type of smell is not going to get you the type of attention that you want. It does not cost that much to invest in a nice smelling deodrant and some nice cologne or perfume. So please when your mom is cooking with onions dont wear the same clothes you wore when she was cooking it and when you were eating it. Wash your clothing, take a shower, practice good hygiene skills, these are not hard rules to live by so please be considerate to the people around you and control your stink. Thank-You!

Why You So Hot?

I've come to a time in my life where I have began asking this question to people. My best friend was first asked me this question about 2 years ago and I had no answer for it. When I asked her the same question she replied back by saying:
Q: Why you so hot?
A: Because I look like you!


I then began to ask other people this same question and this is some of their answers!
Q: Why you so hot?
A: Because God made me this way.

Q: Why you so hot?
A: Because I'm Mexican (not Mexican actually Punjabi)

Q: Why you so hot?
A: Because your my friend.

Q:Why you so hot?
A: Because my wife picks out what i wear.

Q: Why you so hot?
A: ur crazy

Q: Why you so hot?
A:well if i am hot it would be cuzza dna

Q: Why you so hot?
A: Because everyone else is not.

Q: Why you so hot?
A:Because I'm related to you.

Q: Why you so hot?
A:Because the sahara lady did my eyebrows.

Well that's all the people I could get to reply to my stupid question other people I asked they simply replied by saying that they didn't understand my question, or that they dont have an intelligent/funny response for it. Hope you guys liked this entry. And dont worry Am and Seetai ill blog about you guys hahaha so stop fighting for space.

Arranged Marriages: Part 3

heyyyyyyy loyal blog readers........sorry I haven't been keeping up to date with my blog.....just been crazy busy with work and university.......I had a few minutes so I thought I would write about my co-workers views of arranged marriages. I started working at the daycare when I turned 18.......I was the first unmarried sikh punjabi girl that was working at the daycare. From my mother's tellings my co-workers had understood that evey sikh girl had an arranged marriage. So after weeks of getting acquainted with them they began to ask me these questions about arranged marriage. At the time I was far to young to give them adequate answers for their questions. I explained to them how yea it was popular in our culture for the parents to find a suitable husband or wife for their child. I also told them about how my parents had an arranged marriage and have been married for more than 20 years. They were astonished in the sacrifice and commitment that two people who had only met a few times could spend the rest of their lives together. That is when I came in with the counter argument that people who choose the route of love marriage could fall apart and eventually result in divorcing each other. I explained that it didn't matter the mode in which you got married and talked about despite being in an arranged marriage the divorce rate is far higher in people that marry out of love. They then asked me if I would get an arranged marriage or go the way of love. At the time I was far to young to answer and perhaps even today I'm still not able to answer such a question. With such a question so many different elements come into play. It's not a straightforward yes or no answer. After speaking to my co-workers about the issue of arranged marriage they began to see it in a different light and with a little reasoning and explanation they began to realize it as not such a bad idea. Well this concludes my segment on arranged marriages.....If you guys have any other topics you guys think I should write about please feel free to tell me.......take care!!!
