Guru Nanak's birthday


Yesterday, as I was just settling down in office, a colleague walked in with a huge box of (yummmm) kaju rolls.. Its my Gurunanakji's birthday he chirped... I said, this is a novel way of celebrating a religious feast! Upon which he got nostalgic and saidn...

Gurunanakji's birthday is celebrated in our homes in Grand Ishtyle... here all I can do is buy some sweets (he apparently purchased 3 kgs!)

One thing I learned after talking to him was.. the true Sikhs.. the true followers of Gurunanakji strictly kept away from 1) Alcohol, drugs and other intoxicants 2) Cutting of their hair was a no- no 3) Monogamy with one's spouse 4) And this one surprised me .. they were pure vegetarians!!!

Something new learned.....
