makeshift white kid patka!!

Heya ll!

Today was one of the most boring yet devotional days of my life. I do not own a patka, so i decided to make shift one...

It was my first time tying joora and anything, and killed half an hour of time.. I had alot of fun with it though, and may you all will get a laugh out of it!!

... This makes me want a real patka.. !

I used 4 bandannas- a green one to tie joora, and tied 2 together to cover my head completely, and a third on the outside just to be safe, and two rubberbands...

I am NOT wearing that to school, i'll wait for my real patka. haha.

Sherab ji,

What would we do without having your photos to keep up with you -- our SPN album of a pilgrim's progress. So nice!

Aad-ji,

Quick question - I have ordered patka form SikhLink LCC and i have NOT gotten a shipping confirmation after 2 weeks.. what's going on?

I also sent an e-mail, and have got on reply - same thing with GoSikh.

Sherab ji

I don't know what is going on. There could be any number of reasons -- some ordinary cyberspace problems, and others not so nice.

Let me try to see what happens if I attempt an order -- won't be getting back to you on this for a while, though.

Next update. Sherab ji -- SikhLink, after further investigation, is a branch of the Guruharkrishan Institute of Sikh Studies, a nonprofit organization, and so the LLC. They are totally on the up and up. In fact, now remember that this is where I purchased my own kara several months back. They were extremely easy to buy from and they package things very nicely.

Update. Sherab ji -- I sent you a private message. From the looks of the site -- SikhLink LLC may be a business connected to a large Gurdwara -- providing a service to Sikhs by Internet. And they may not have enough people working for them to do all the paperwork on a regular basis -- may be all sevadhars -- But I don't think they cheated you or anything like that. Waiting for them to contact me to explain shipping policies. Read my private message.
