I am really surprised how all of my fellow Friends are picking one point of there choice and then using it to make there point of NK.....
1. Would anyone of us prefer a gurudawara with a torn or bad condition Carpet... then many will crib to the highest extent.. so if some one is taking care of the carpet then others are taking care of the sick lady... Most important all this is done in the gurudawara only... 2. Langaars are always free to all.. rich poor homeless and for anyone.. don't you think huge amount of money effort and seva is spent on them... 3. i agree wasting of food in NK is wrong.. but my fellow Friend pointing out did something to prevent it while attending NK or suggested it to the concerned people organising it ( taking out time of there busy schl....) 4. If this tradition would have not been alive from the last so man decades.. then the awareness would have not been possible to do the same NK in all other countries.. USA, UK, Canada to name a few.. Giving money to needy is good but that is not all, My suggestion is to all my fellow Friends should go to any gurudawara ( near or far) and do some kind of seva, maybe Jooda ghar or langgar.. i think that will mend there mind towards the understanding of Sikhism more.. and this not only my view but he views of all the people you see in NK in India or abroad... Stop saying Start doing... Kamal ( A soulful Sikh)...
