Came across this video of Osho discussing the unexpected consequences of Nitzche’s remarks, “God is dead”. Personally I think I Osho is an idiot, not so much because of the content of the video, but just him in general, and his views/remarks on Sikhi almost put him to sail in the same boat as Gandhi. Anyway’s, check out the video and be warned it does contain language that seems to bother a handful of individuals, so now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
Other examples that the fraud forgot, Osho is f’d up…f*k osho.

Gosh darn it, them Muslims are at it again, this time around though they’re pissed off at Pope Bendadict and the catholic clergy, after the Pope quoted an old text talking about how the religion of Mohammad aka Islam, being a religion so relentless in its pursuit of world domination that it’s either Islam or death, (sounds kind of familiar). [Mind you that the Pope was lecturing against the ideology of the person who said the quote and was using the quote as a reference as a point to his entire lecture, but that is irrelevant]
Undoubtedly this pissed off Muslims as they figure that the Pope called the prophet Mohammad a terrorist, which as you would expect would bring about the chaos that has ensued, but in the end are they not [our Muslim brethren] proving the quote true, by reacting to a quote that said, Muslims are violent, with violence?
Now don’t get me wrong, if I were Muslim, which according to the religious quiz on quizfarm.com I am, I’d probably be pissed of to, but then again that doesn’t make it right, let alone justify the violence, or threats of it.
None the less, thinking about their hypocrisy I came to think about Gandhi (the skinny bald headed one) and his remarks against the Sikhs, (Gandhi called Guru Gobind Singh a, “misguided patriot!”, and described them as a war mongrel of sorts), and about how we [Sikhs] reacted to that. History doesn’t seem to recall any outbursts, which brings to question why not. Off course there was the opposition against Gandhi, and I’m sure there were even protests, but seemingly those are lost in the footnotes of some history textbooks.
Fair enough, we’re bigger then that and got thicker skin then the Muslims, but didn’t Gandhi’s remarks not warrant widespread rage? After all, he wouldn’t have been around to get his beatings from the British if it wasn’t for Sri Guru Tegh Bahadaur Sahib Ji taking a stand or Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji who sacrificed his entire family giving Gandhi the opportunity to become the akirat kan that he was..
It’s in that, which lies the frustration that inspires such posts. Unlike the Muslims we had a legitimate beef, yet we chose to take the road less traveled, the turn the other cheek and keep marching approach. The approach that led us to bare the brunt of the sticks and stones handed out back in those days by the British, letting not Gandhi’s words hurt us.
It’s that swallowing of pride that finds a way to get under my skin and boil into the sheer annoyance that I am starting to develop against Muslims. Although I may respect there gonads when it comes to protesting collectively the way they do, the fact that they do it over the stupidest things is starting to lead me to resent them. They demand equal rights in secular nations yet fail to give the same rights back in their own. They openly denounce all religions day in day out, yet throw a fit when someone talks or even questions Islam. They are furious over the worlds negative portrayal of Muslims yet they do nothing to help make us think otherwise, and yet they some how day in and day out seem to justify there own hypocrisy, while denouncing all others.

Last Friday, I got to go check out Anokhe Amar Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji, that primiered in theaters. Suprinsigly enough the movie was being played at Famous Players Silver City, and from the ad’s I saw in the papers is being carried by a lot of the big screen famous player theaters around town, pretty impressive for a dharmic movie.
As far as Dharmic movies go, this was probabbly one of the best ones I’ve seen produced so far. Considering that nearly all Dharmic films are low budget and that they got there own obstacles, (as far as character’s go and all that). The movie did a good job creativly in getting around these things.
The acting is what you can expect from such films, some was good, a lot was bad, with the biggest problem off course being the over-acting of some characters, but then again given some time I’m sure this will get better. Fight scenes, were at best bollywood-esque, but then again maybe it’s to soon to expect an amritdhari Jet Lee style action hero. With all that said, what made this movie the best dharmic movie to date, is simply the sakhi of Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji is worth accolades on its own, if a writer were to try to write about it, an artist to try and depict it, then even that honest attempt would bring them praise, regardless of all other short comings. Along with the comedy interjections this movie remained bareable to watch, and helped make it not feel like the 2 hours and 30 minutes that it turned out to be. For those never exposed to ithyaas, and espeically children not yet exposed to Hollywood blockbusters then I’m sure that they’ll get a kick out of it and take the most away from this movie, but I can’t imagine being a 12 year old and being able to sit through the entire thing, without getting restless.
For those concerned about depictions of Baba Deep Singh Ji by an actor etc, then take peace in knowing that the film makers did a good job in working around this by acting around it. Whenever a scene needed to show Baba Ji, sketch’s were brought in, and the actors would then paraphrase the events of what they were seeing and hearing.
The thing that really annoyed me with the whole film was the costumes. They were just too clean. You’d expect Singhs living in jungles to have a little more dirt/fade on there chola’s, but instead everyone was rocking sparkling bright blue or oranage and in the case of the moghuls green, as if they had a never ending supply of Oxy clean.
In the same regard the one thing worth noting was that all the Singhs used in the movie had real dharis, watch some of the other movies and you’ll notice the rented Santa Clause beards that the actors got on. Real is always good.
Overall, the movie by no means is a blockbuster, but should be checked out to at the very least to at the very least aknowledge and support the effort made by the film makers, and hopefully inspire other creative, and better peices such as this one in the future.

Having some time and having gone through Trench’s AKA Kimveer Gills blog a few times I figure’d I’d take some quizes that he had posted to see how I rated:
What Group Are You? Chav, Rocker, Skater, Emo, Goth, Trendy, Prepy Ect
You scored as Chav, Townie, Rude Boy, Ned, Kev. Your a Chav! Chav is a slang term which has been in wide use throughout the United Kingdom since 2004. It refers to a subcultural stereotype of a person with fashions such as flashy “bling” jewellery and counterfeit designer clothes, an uneducated, impoverished background, a tendency to congregate around places such as fast-food outlets or other shopping areas, and a culture of antisocial behaviour.
How Will You Die??
Your death will be by disappearing, probably a camping trip gone wrong or an evening hike you never returned from. Always remeber that one guy who was hiking alone and got in a rock slide. He could have died, but he cut his own hand off to save himself. Don’t end up like him (or worse, dead).
What Highschool Clique Do You Belong To?
You scored as “Ghetto”. You are what you are! Just don’t talk to me…
All right thats enough of that, if you feel like you want to do the quizes hit up http://www.quizfarm.com
….Bun it still bored here are some more…
Which Horror Killer are You?
You scored as Jigsaw. You are Jigsaw. You dont enjoy killing people at all. You instead love to see how far people will go to live. However if it ends in a bloody death, you still sleep with a smile on your face. You are intelligent, and know how to outwit just about anyone. And that spells bad news for anyone who falls into your games of death and torture.
