Guru Gobind Singh Ji and his army were on their way to Anandpur Sahib. Guru ji was on his horse when it abruptly halted in front of a field they were about to go through.

Guru Sahib turned his mighty horse around and told the fauj they would take another route going the long way around the field. Later one of the Guru’s soldiers asked Guru Sahib, ” Guru ji why are we going the long way when we could have just walked through the field that we halted at, surely we would be home by now”.

Guru Sahib Ji replied, “That field was planted with tobacco and it wasn’t me that halted, rather it was my Horse which having caught scent of the tobacco, refused to go any further. It refused to walk through such an unclean place”.

So if my horse was not willing to enter the field of tobacco then neither should my Sikhs be exposed to such pollution.” Every action of our Guru ji was done for a reason.

दवा कारोबार के सिलसिले में अक्सर मेरा जाना रीठा साहिब होता रहता है| रीठा साहिब चंपावत में पाटी तहसील से लगभग 50 कि.मी. दूर है| मैं हमेशा बाइक से वहां जाताथा| रास्ते में अगर बाइक पंचर हो गई तो मरम्मत कि सुविधा नहीं है|

रात्रि विश्राम के पश्चात एक दिन जब मैं उठा तो रीठा साहिब में मेरी बाइक पंचर हो गई| हमारे एकपहाड़ी दुकानदार ने मुझसे मौके का फायदा उठाकर दो सौ रुपए की नकली ट्यूब के चार सौ रुपए की मांग की और ट्यूब डालने के 50 रुपए और मांगे| मैं हैरान परेशान खड़ाथा| तभी मैंने देखा की पास में ही एक सरदार जी जो हमारी बातें सुन रहे थे, पास आए और मेरी बाइक स्वयं गुरूद्वारे के प्रांगण में ले गए|

वहां उन्होंने मेरी बाइक की ट्यूबबदली और उसमें हवा भरी मेरे कहने के बावजूद उन्होंने मुझसे पैसे नहीं लिए| यह सज्जन गुरुद्वारा रीठा साहिब गुरूद्वारे के प्रबंधक बाबा श्याम सिंह जी थे[| एक स्वधर्मीपहाड़ी भाई की कृपणता एवं एक सिख भाई की सहृदयता मेरे दिल को छू गई|

Friends had been flying back from Toronto to New York when they boarded the American Airlines flight last month. Two friends in business class claim they were immediately ordered to leave the plane without explanation

They were kicked off of an American Airlines flight for making the Pilot feel uncomfortable due to “their Muslim looks”.

Other pair of friends say they were surrounded by passengers making racist comments before they were also told to go.

The $9 million lawsuit against the airline alleged staff told them they made the stewardess and captain feel ‘uneasy’. These three friends one of them being a Sikh, were also told appearance ‘did not help’ the lawsuit alleges.

“They were told to ‘just be peaceful,’ making it seem like they were a threat, making other passengers uncomfortable and wanting to get off the flight,” said Tahanie Aboushi, who represents them.

When they got off the plane, a jittery agent from American Airlines told them they made the crew uncomfortable.

Lawyer for the men claimed they had been thrown off in a case of ‘blatant discrimination’

The 104-year-old Fauja Singh participated in his second Mumbai Marathon on Sunday. His story has been inspirational for one and all.

After retiring from the marathon three years ago, he expressed his happiness to participate in the Mumbai Marathon.

Known as ‘Turbaned Tornado’, Singh took up the sport when he was in his eighties after moving to London. A farmer from PUNJAB, he began his long distance journey.

At 89, he shot to fame when he completed a gruelling 26.2 mile marathon in six hours and 54 minutes. This knocked 58 minutes off the previous world best in his age bracket.

He first participated in London Marathon in 2012, where he ran 20kms. Since then he has never looked back.

Ask the guy and he would tell you that the joy of winning a marathon in India is what keeps him going.

“I have won marathons across the world and beaten records but in India I have come to win hearts. The joy of running in India has always been different and something special which keeps me going,” said Singh.
