...

And so now "making a chapatti" is recognisable "job" for the panth ?? Wow ??
In that case all those thousands upon thousands of our mothers and grannies and wives who slog at hot tavees in every gurdwara should be awarded siropas...and what about those who make daal, kheer..sabjees, etc..who cut gandhes and "cry" all over the place...imho sgpc will need a lot of siropas...he he he

and i will be right behind you....the only trouble is the "que" may run in to hundreds of thousands....too many people have been making guru ka langgar chapattis for ages...without even a "thank you"...much lessa siropa ..he he he

BTW i heard if you DONT GET it, you can BUY one...the length depending on how much you "contribute"....my friends have brought back many different sizes in the past and use them as Keski..
