SEVA(Service attitude) in Sardars
From: Jagan Mohan Reddy [mailto:drjaganmohanre...@gmail.com] REGARDS/BEST WISHES JJAGANMOHANREDDY Like Polish jokes sardar jokes have come to stay But the true spirit of Sikhs is something else: Sardars reflect the strength , industry and vitality of not only Punjab and India: Wherever they have settled be it U.S.A, Canada, Italy, New Zealand they have earned the appreciation of the locals by dint of their hard work ! As a community the 'kar sewa' which they render in the Gurudwaras is unmatched. rich or poor, Guru's langars are open to all ! I still remember an incident which showed their spirit o public service, The local Tamil community in Janakpuri , Delhi was celebrating the Kumbhabishekam of the famous "Rajarajeswari Temple" there. It fell on a hoottest April afternoon few years back. The organisers did not perhaps anticipate such crowds of devotees! The arrangement which they had made for provision of drinking water to the devotees was totally inadequate. Women and children were lliterally crying for drinking water. Seeing this , three sikh gentlemen living adjacent to the temple complex tackled the problem within few minutes. In no time they procured 20 polyurethene drums fitted with faucets from the nearby Tentwala: phoned the local Municipal Councillor to arrange for two "'Drinkmg Water Tankers" . Within 10 minutes the Councillor was there and the Water Tankers arrived. Within another 5 Minutes ICE Blocks started arriving in tempos: The drums were filled up : Ice Blocks were cleaned and dropped in the water drums: Huge quantities of largesize papercups appeared from nowhere: With the help of other volunteers the Water Drums were placed on wooden tables at different spots. The thirsty devotees were helped to form queues to access drinking water . The good samaritans did not bother about the cost. When the organizers honoured the Sikh gentlemen in the evening along with the Priests who conducted the Kumbhabishekam the whole crowd of devotees acclaimed, cheered and applauded. The speed with which they acted and the resources they could garner in a such a short time was amazing. The attached anecdote which my friend vouches to be true brings out another special charateristic of the community.

But do you know that Sikhs are the most hard working, prosperous and diversified communities in the world. <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hindi_Jokes> My friend told me about the following incident which I wish to share with you. <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hindi_Jokes> <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hindi_Jokes> <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hindi_Jokes> It has had a deep impact on my thinking. During last vacation, his few friends came to Delhi . They rented a taxi for local sight-seeing. The driver was an old Sardar and boys being boys, these pals began cracking Sardarji jokes, just to tease the old man. But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed. At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid the cab hire-charges. The Sardar returned the change, but he gave each one of them one rupee extra and said, ''Son, since morning you have been telling Sardarji jokes.. I listened to them all and let me tell you, some of them were in bad taste. Still, I don't mind coz I know that you are young blood and are yet to see the world.. But I have one request. I am giving you one rupee each. Give it to the first Sardar beggar that you come across in this or any other city.' My friend continued,* ' That one rupee coin is still with me. I couldn't find a single Sardar begging anywhere.' MORAL: The secret behind their universal success, is their willingness to do any job with utmost dedication and pride. A Sardar will drive a truck or set up a roadside garage or a dhaba, put a fruit juice stall, take up small time carpentry, ... but he will never beg on the streets. <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hindi_Jokes> DO FORWARD IT TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS JUST THE WAY YOU FORWARD JOKES DUBAI JANA _____ Invest your money wisely post Budget Sign up now. <http://news.in.msn.com/moneyspecial/> _____ The INTERNET now has a personality.
