[QUOTE="plamba, post: 21850, member: 162"] In 2005, How Sikhdom Did Thrive: A Recap in Verse By PUNEET SINGH LAMBA The Sikh Times, Jan. 1, 2006 Photo: Jaswant Singh Khalra Behzti, the play, was offensive to some Violent protests made others glum S.G.P.C. considered banning women in jeans What's next? Banning dreams? For same-sex marriage Vedanti refused to nod Malhi anointed, 'Vedanti is next to God!' Malik and Bagri were acquitted The question remained, 'Who did it?' Infiltrating Sikh organizations is easy as cake M.K. Dhar's book did obvious this make Na na vati's report finally did publish But to Khushwant it was pure rubbish Amarinder befriended Delhi, Pakistan, Toronto, home of the C.N. Tower All places where the S.G.P.C. has no power A golden palanquin was carried to Nankana Lending a hand were Sarna and Sarna Together they flirted with Khalistan Thereby foiling the Akali plan Jo Bole So Nihaal was harmless entertainment Vedanti issued a supportive statement But to the Babbar Khalsa opportunity had come knocking They responded with cinema hall bombing Pashaura moved to Riverside His detractors failed to sway the tide Damdami Taksal did grudgingly acknowledge Of Bhindranwale's whereabouts they have no knowledge Rabbi Shergill emerged as a Punjabi/Sufi/Indipop sensation Bachchan, Naipaul are his fans; Springsteen his inspiration Sikh women continued to hit temple bar Deemed unfit for kirtan at the Amritsar darbar Just as Fremont seemed to resolve its election woes Springfield and Medford entered similar throes Some of Khalra's killers were brought to book Over a decade is all it took The Supreme Court confirmed the charge K.P.S. Gill molested Rupan Bajaj Belgium followed France, banning religious symbols in schools Sikhs were in a trance, having exhausted all diplomatic tools When Katrina spared the Guru Granth A miracle was declared by the Panth Amrita Pritam, away she passed Leaving us a treasure of writings unsurpassed I.O.S.S. launched the International Sikh Confederation 'Does it represent us?' asked many with consternation Avtar Singh Makkar took over the S.G.P.C. And dropped the surname lest Jats feel queasy Such was the year 2005 Packed with action, buzzing like a beehive ===== Season's Greetings and a Happy New Year!
