hair cut stories of sikh boys and girls

[singh]

rational argument if a person wnats to cut his hair or keep it its only his personal call if you tell him that he did a bad thing than you are a narrow minded freak lving in the ideas of past so grow up
if it makes someone happy then he should probabaly do it

Yes true Mr. Singh, The Sikh is always by choice not by birth. If one doesnt want to keep hair, so he or she definitely cannot be Sikh. Because he feel weak in front of world. Sikh community only for Strong people not for weak.

[toronto sikh boy]

hello there
I come from a household in Toronto, Canada, am a 20 year old sikh boy with my kesh but am not a amrithdarhi sikh as i am not that religious as to go to the gurudwara every day/week. I still go to the gurudwara at times but not to much. my reason for coming onto the topix forum is that when i was a bit younger i had wanted to cut my hair but was not allowed by my father, who is sikh. i had a couple racist experiences in my life starting from kindergarten(kids can be harsh as they cannot watch there words), and i have lived in a mostly ethnic area of the city, however moved around some to more caucasian areas of ontario, where i experienced a lot more racism, and it was very hard on me as a child as i did not know what i was doing to these people to make them lash out at me, as a child you do not know why people make fun of you you just take it to heart and think oh maybe its the way i act or my personality, but as you grow up you realize that it is just because how you look these people make fun of you and ridicule you, which is quite ad as it proves both they and there parents are ignorant(not trying to be mean). So i lived my life and grew up with very low self confidence and even lower ambitions(even though i was relatively smart) i wouldn't try in school and would just take the easy way for everything just barely passing everything during highschool and not really having many friends as my personality was very introverted. However when i turned 18 and finished highschool my father said u can choose what you would like to do with your life, so i thought about it for awhile as i needed time to think over as it is a big decision i mean i have lived with it for 18 years of my life it is a part of me and my personality, so i thought and thought and after a few weeks(couple months) i decided to keep it of course i came and looked at this chat and read it all then as well, of course up to this point i had been wearing pathka as i was not well versed in tying paag as i had not bothered to learn. So i had decided to learn how to tie it however there were not that many places i could go to learn as i don't trust or frequent these money hungry gurudwaras in toronto(most are). So i tried to look at videos online however there are not many videos showing you how to tie paags, there are a few but there is no variety which i thought was very strange as there are over 25 million sikhs in the world. So i learned to tie the one that most suited my personality and stuck with it. i decided to keep my kesh and not cut it so i had no more excuse for me not to try in anything anymore so i looked around fro what i wanted to do with my life and decided to become an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, which was in my opinion a very good choice for me as i was very much into cars and etc., but also bad for me as i was a turbaned sikh wanting to go into the aviation industry in north america, where there is a big discrimination against turbaned people and aircraft(in my own experience) so i took the course passed with accreditation Sure my turban got in the way of some of my job opportunities but hey there loss and if that was what they really wanted you can't change peoples mind about that. so i kept at applying for jobs(really hard industry to get into) and they would call me back and i would go in for interviews and they would not call me back(not saying its because of my turban) but afetr long time of searching i found a good employer who did not care about if i had a turban or not and he hired me on, and i am still working for that same company even now and am very happy there, however if i need to move on from there i shall. i have turned around my life by myself and no-one can take that away from me.

[toronto sikh boy]

i believe you should do what you want to do with your life and should make decisions about your life very seriously as this concerns yourself not anyone else(not your dad, mom, or even me or anyone else on this forum) you have to live with yourself and the mistakes you've made not anyone else. so you've got to make the decision to cut your hair or keep it and live with it.

i do concede that i do get headaches sometimes from wearing my turban and sometimes it does get hard to tie it everyday, as it takes me about an hour and a half from start to finish to wash and dry and comb my hair and tie my paag, however i deal with it.

Another topic o f discussion i have found here is that of girls(in general) not going out with guys who have turbans especially sikh girls(no offence just in my personal opinion) and i have found it to be mostly true with some exceptions, i am not saying that it is impossible and no sikh guy has a girlfriend but it is just a very unlikely, as most girls want to go out and have "fun" whereas they think we(turbaned sikhs) are very religious and do not go out to parties or like to have so called "fun". there is a nice video about this by Jus reign

starts at about 4:45 ends at about 5:32

http://www.youtube.com/watch...

however this vidoes behind the scenes footage also shows that some girls would be happy to go out with turbaned sikhs. however you just need to take your time and find the right person who is good enough for you whether they be sikh or not.

sorry i took so long with my comment and i know its not relevant to the topic but i have been a long time reader and i just felt strongly about the topic as it is very close to me and i have gone through this decision before so i thought i would comment

p.s. thank you if you have read this and my opinion would be to not cut your hair as it is what makes us stand out in the crowd and differentiates us from muslims and hindus(no offence), but if you need to do it then go ahead and follow whatever you want to do.

yo ya i wear a turban and im 21 and i was born and raised in america. my dad was normal back when i was little but then became amritshak when i was about 7 and he became stricter as time went by. I had a juda since i was born since my dad had the punjab mentality and kept it on me i never had a problem with my juda i didnt care when people made fun of my juda and patka....now i dont like having a pagh because ive noticed since ive been in high school and college all the punjabi girls like clean shaven guys (mohnay). many have even told me that they dont like guys with paghs because they are not good looking and look scary. they have told me i would look better as a mohnah. i have not met any punjabi girl interested in sardars so why do we keep paghs if our own girls dont like us???

Yo dude, the girls where u r living r prolly stupid and nuts, because where I live in Canada, girls like turbaned guys over others, many girls think turbaned guys are much sweeter, and anyways why do u care about what other girls think, u r only 21 u have lots of time! If a girl wants you to change she probably isn't the right girl for u then!

[Just another haircut guy]

I am Sikh and love my religion a lot but keeping my kesh to be a Sikh is part i am not so comfortable with. I am 23 and have not cut my hair as yet but have been thinking about cutting it. But one point i would like to highlig is that even if i get my haircut i would still wear turban because that is my pride.

get a surgery done and then regrow ur kes

[Manny]

hey everyone. i recently cut my hair but i guess it doesnt work out that well for everyone. aftr cutting my hair i noticed my hair was differnt than other people, i noticed that im missing hair on both sides of my frontal head. i guess wearing a turban whole my life, pulling my hair backwards affected the look which is now like half bald to be honest and that is not wht i expected. i just wanted to look normal but now i look even more odd without my turban and half bald from the front of my head. so i decided to start wearing my turban again, i guess this is who we are and it doesnt matter if we try to change it or not. ill suggest anyone looking towards cutting their hair to take a good look of ur own hair first then consider cutting it. or can just learn to deal with it :)
