[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 202058, member: 2709"] Aahil Ji Welcome to SPN. That's quite a first post! I hope you are enjoying your life here in Australia :) You are obviously an intelligent, deep thinker. Which is why I was surprised toward the end of your post to read that you're into fashion, and that you can't look trendy in a dastaar. Are you kidding?? Take a look: [IMG]http://www.sikhchic.com/fashion/cms/articles/photo1/asmallrajin.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.menswearstyle.co.uk/content/blogs/blog_ln_1009.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.menswearstyle.co.uk/content/blogs/blog_ln_1010.jpg[/IMG] You gotta do some Google searches for Singh fashion, bro. Omg! *picks her jaw up off the floor* ;) A well groomed Sikh, with neat turban and smart clothes not only looks very trendy, he has by default an air of authority. Women find that very enticing, and men respect it. Look into how you can incorporate your dastar into your fashion look and I think you can probably rock it. :) Meanwhile, living with your parents, you wrote: Actually, they [B]will [/B]have the right to kick you out, and they [B]will have the right to[/B] [B]not take you back in[/B]. If they kick you out before you turn 18, they can get in trouble for not taking you back in. Once you're 18 however, you're on your own. You may want to keep this in mind. My advice is purely practical - after all, this is the reality of the situation. If you want to cut your hair, and it will annoy your parents too much, then do everything in your power to become self-sufficient and then leave. Then you can do what you want. Until then, it is in your best interests to keep the peace with your parents. Know that, for the sake of a simple hair cut, you may be making life harder for yourself. Stay with your parents, they will provide for you, study a degree, save for a house, move out when you're ready. By that time you will probably have the life experience to put your hair and turban into proper perspective, or not, but it will be your choice. We all have to compromise when we live with our parents. They all make us do (or not do) things against what we want. And while we are dependent on them, we have to comply. At the very least, they are providing for us, we owe them our respect. It's the least you can do while you live with them. I speak from experience, because I did something that caused my parents to kick me out when I was 19. I was studying and working a low-paying job. My mum found out what I had done, and said 'give me your house keys and get out'. So I had to pack my stuff into my car and drive away. That was hard, and frightening.

Now, I am 30, and it still pains me. Why, oh why, was I so impatient? Please don't make the same mistake. I agree with what you've said about religion. I urge you to learn about Sikh philosophy. It genuinely is one of the best philosophies for life, and I've researched a few, as you have. Religion is bogus, but living life intelligently upon a solid philosophical foundation is key. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
