A FEW SIKHTOONS

SKIHTOONS.  Until someone gives me a good reason to resume writing, enjoy the Sikhtoons.

With much thanks to Vishavjit Singh, who graciously lets his Sikhtoons to be published all over Sikh sites on the 'Net.

SIKHTOONS - Ninth Contest

Is there anyone among us who has not speculated as to what indira gandhi was thinking when she attacked Harimandir Sahib? Is there any among us who would not like to put words in her (filthy) mouth? Here's your chance. The Ninth Sikhtoons Captioning Contest has been announced. Here is the picture:

Add her saying something, give the 'Toon a caption or do both. Then go here, Sikhtoons 9th Contest and submit your entry. It's as simple as that. I have already submitted mine. I think it's pretty good.

SikhByChoice Project

SikhBy Choice? What does that mean? What does that mean to you? Who is SikhByChoice? The answer is, of course, every Sikh is a Sikh By Choice. Although most of us were born into Sikh families, that does not make you or me or anyone else a Sikh. No, that is a choice we make ourselves, personally, an individual choice.

The facebook group, SikhByChoice is collecting stories of how individuals became Sikhs. Yes, dear reader, if you are Sikh, that means YOU!

Please have a look at their SikhByChoice Project Website. You can read stories by others and learn how to leave your own as well.

Also please check out and possibly join the facebook group, SikhByChoice

Here is the illustrated Sikhography of Vishavjit Singh , the creator of Sikhtoons.

And below here is the latest Sikhtoon Cartoon Caption Contest. We have all gone through - or will yet go through - the matrimonial thing. What are Mr. Singh and Ms. Kaur saying to each other? To enter go to the Sikhtoon Caption Contest. Deadline for this contest is March 14, 2009. I have entered. Why not you?

Hurray For Humour

If you have been reading this blog for any time at all, you've probably gotten some idea of what I'm like. I hope you've learned that I

1. am passionate about informing the world about the Sikh history of 1984
   
2. love Sikhi and associated topics
   
3. care deeply about the injustices and pain of people around the world
   
4. will speak up about anything I think needs speaking about
   
5. have a sense of humour.
   

This post is about the last. First, the current Sikhtoon:

This refers to the following three stories, among many more:

1. US Airways Pilot Refuses To Fly With Three Turbanws Sikhs Onboard
   
2. Project Aims To Protect Sikh Cab Drivers
   
3. New York Sikh Angered By Terror Suspicions Over Turban
   

I like humour. I like to laugh. I enjoy Sikhtoons. Did you know that they have a contest.?All you have to do is put the best caption in the bubble and win. This is the third contest. I entered the first two and did not win. I can blame this only on the fact that the winning captions were better than my submissions. However, hope springs eternal...

If you would like to try your hand at this, here's the cartoon:

Enter the winning caption and get published on Sikhtoons.com

(and the winner gets a framed 8" X 10" version of the winning cartoon autographed with a personal message from creator of Sikhtoons.com)

SUBMISSION RULES

Its Quite Simple!
Come up with an economic rescue plan or message from President-Elect Obama's imaginary Sikh economic advisor!
Keep it short, funny, sarcastic or ironic whichever suits your style.
The winning entry will be selected by the creator of Sikhtoons.com and published on the site after the submission deadline.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION - DEC 12th, 2008

Interested in the original painting, The Scream by Ed. Here's The Scream!


And here is part of what Mr. Munsch says about it:

I was walking along a path with two friends—the sun was setting—suddenly
the sky turned blood red—I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the
fence—there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the
city—my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety—and I sensed
an infinite scream passing through nature.

BTW, I just noticed that we are coming up on the 400th post in this blog. And we'll go on and on and on...
