my PERSONAL OPINION

Excuse me sir..could you kindly donate a small amount to our fund on building or prolly upgradin gurdwara...among the commonly use dialogues among people today..without any doubts a donation will b made generously without even wasting a minute to think bout it...but where does the donation money go to????

Till today we have seen many beautiful nice gurdwara's yes no doubt it was all chipped in by our community to build such beautiful gurdwara's..but wat suprises me is the maintenance of the gurdwara later after its completed..The arguments among each other on being the gurdwara president is among the common fights..why has this got to happen?Is it cause the donation money can b pocketed without being tax or is it cause of the fame involve in being a president of a gurdwara?

My personal point of view..I mean I'm just voicing out what i feel which can be done to improve our society rather than seeing it to be as a laughing stock among others..Firstly,instead of building so many big gurdwara's in the same city..we can make do with 1 big gurdwara n the rest can be small yet simple and at same time beautifully done up whereby we can save up cost and use the same cash donated by us to help the poorer punjabis which are truly in financial need.

Besides that,we too can use this same cash to get a bus where it can be used on weekends to transport our elderly and as well as their grandchildren from their residence straight to the big gurdwara whereby free punjabi classes and other things related to the religion for example tabla,waja,bhangra dancing,dhol could be thought as well in afternoons.Thereafter during evening,the same people can go to the park owned by the gurdwara itself for evening games whereby in here we as parents will know that our parents are with their friends chatting while their kids are being observed and socialising among their age group of people.In simple words,the weekends of a punjabi youth is spend with doing good things and not indulging in negative habits such as drinking nor smokin nor gambling which most youngsters in our society ready got indulge to it at such young ages.

Its saddening when we see another punjabi youth which got destroyed,but at same time deep down in us,we get more jealous when we see a punjabi doing better off then us.

But whats more hurting is when u realise that one has to pay a monthly fee just to learn his own mother tongue.It truly doesnt make any sense to me at all on why should 1 punjabi boy or girl pay tuition fee's just to learn his own mother tongue back here.But to make matters worst,everyone plays the blame game on blaming parents,backgrounds,peers when one is seen dating another race or smoking or drinking in public places.Why did all this occur firstly is what we should investigate before playing the blame game follks.If from the start we had all this I'm pretty much sure not all but most youth would have got theirselves indulge in this religion activities.

Organising samelan more than 3 times a year doesnt help in improving bondings between youths as from my personal point of view,samelan has become more commercialise nowdays till everyone just takes advantage of samelan.Once again I'm not saying we should completely not have samelan..just like others..even samelan has its advantages n disadvantages but dun u think havin samelan more than once or twice a year is startin to waste cash when we can use the same cash to help poor punjabi kids which are at the outskirts of the main cities..

Together people..lets take this as a lesson and improve our minor society..lets show others that thou we are a minor here...we have the strength of each other in time of need and we practice one for all..all for one which can b set as an example for others to follow as well instead of wasting n killing our youths..

peace out
