"Patience is one of the most critical attributes for a long term investor because you can be right and the market may tell you that you’re wrong, and it may tell you so for an extended period of time. It may reach the point where your sanity begins to be questioned by clients and even your colleagues. I’ve been in situations like that. There were many times where I’ve been involved in an investment, where it looks like it might not work out, and it ultimately did work out, and worked out wonderfully." - Chris Mittleman
Vaisakhi is not just about dancing and singing.
Baisakhi holds a lesson for all Indians...... Specially in this day and age.
So this day in 1699, in a congregation of people from all across India...standing there listening to their Guru, The Guru asked for human sacrifice of five men one after the other. Five men from different castes from different parts of India stood up from the crowd of thousands.
- A shopkeeper, Baniya called Daya Ram from Lahore
- A farmer, Jat called Dharam Das from Meerut
- A so called low-caste water carrier, called Himmat Rai from Jagannath Puri, Odisha
- A tailor,of Cheemba caste called Mukham Chand from Dwarka, Gujarat
- A barber, of Naai caste called Sahib Chand from Bidar, Karnataka
With his choice of disciples from five different corners of India, Guru Saheb visualised the national dream... from the coast of Gujarat along Western Arabian Sea to coasts of Odisha along the Bay of Bengal; from the great Plains of Punjab to the the Gangetic Plain and then onto the Deccan peninsula covering Karnataka.
Do not forget that at that time, all these were separate states; it was Guru Gobind Singh ji that thought of all of them as one...
this Baisakhi day of 1699.
With the choice of disciples from five different caste-groups, he visualised an integrated class-less society.
The five were christened as the First Five Khalsa Sikhs, and the five in turn christened their Guru as the sixth. All caste names and surnames were dropped, & a common surname was proposed for all Indians across India; a surname that denoted a caste-less, class-less creed of men willing to sacrifice themselves for the nation and against injustice.
And the swaroop he chose for the class-less people was an amalgmation of the ancient Indian thought of Rishis (as mentioned by Guru Gobind Singh in the Sarbloh Granth) and the Kshatriya tradition of Warriors, hence the Jooda, the hairs and the Talwar. The concept of Miri-Piri was coded in the dress-system of this new society envisioned by him. A group of people who were strong in Miri (Physical Strength and material possessions) and Piri (Spiritual Strength and humility)
So, the five so called lower castes were given the temporal strength of a Rishi (a Brahmin citadel till then ) and the Physical responsibilities of a Kshatriya (a duty till then limited to the Rajputs).
This motley group of people uprooted Afghan and Mughal rule from entire North India from the Yamuna to the Khyber pass, such was the power of this vision.
And this was the Indian that he envisioned from the five corners of HIS nation.
Guru Gobind Singh ji was a visionary par excellence.
Awake India, awake to his vision. Leave those caste barriers, acquire knowledge, be strong in body and be a Khalsa in spirit. Your religion doesn't matter. Khalsa is a state of mind, not just a religion.
This diversity and what makes India so special - let’s celebrate all these festivals as ONE ❤️
Happy Baisakhi...🙏
Fliers are the ones to disregard aviatian safety practices most.
Picnic nahi hai!
God forbid some untoward incident happens floodgates of blaming airline, crew, manufacturer etc etc open. Everything else but for their stupid behavior will be blamed.

In a befitting tribute to the quest for justice with courage & valour of our Chaar Sahibzaade at a young age, PM declares that 26 December will be commemorated as ‘Veer Baal Diwas’ from this year onwards.
I thank PM Modi Ji for honouring the sentiments of the entire Sikh Sangat.
