Now, I know this post is going to make sure I get a lot of angry faces and punches, But I have been a part of Sikh family, with 15 SiKh BoI cousins around me (yes gurls, not a single "far-fetched" girl cousin even, so you know how difficult it is for me..and oh well BoIs you won’t understand the pain of not being able to share clothes and accessories and bags and shoes and………..ok let it be :( ) and thus it was becoming very difficult for me to resist myself from posting this. Also that it’s going to help generations to come to become an ideal "SiKh BoI", I decided to sacrifice my peace of mind and bear some swears (Refer commandment#1) and beatings from those so called 15 SiKh BoIs (to say the least :P ). Ahh!!! So Selfless soul I am.
And all the following traits are so closely interlinked, that I really had a tough time classifying them as 10 different points. So please bear with me for a lot of cross references:
1. Thou shall know all kind of swears in this world (need not to know where to use them though), and use them in place of punctuation marks, written communication included.
2. Thou shall own a huge, noise-polluting bike, fondly called Bullet, pronounce it BULL(-e)T ..BULLT, take utmost care of it and treat it like their first GF. As one punjabi song rightly says:
"aap ni nahaunde, Bull(-e)t chamkaunde te hauli chalaunde" (Refer commandment#6)
Eventually, thou shall also aspire to own a jeep (And no brownie points for guessing this one, everything applicable to BULL(-e)T, applicable here also)
3. Thou shall never attend classes, and shall also not allow friends to attend those.
OR (well, you see, SiKh BoIs also always find alternatives....ummm... I should include this as commandment # 11)
3. Thou shall always have 100% canteen attendance.
4. Thou shall never carry books, “I mean is the world over of laptops, iPods or cam cods or for heaven’s sake mobile phones...beep beep beep..(Refer commandment #1)”, shall borrow/steal/ snatch pen + paper, shall draw lecturer ka foto on it during class and toss it after class. (this in case commandment # 3 gets violated)
5. Thou shall always oblige good looking women by use of adjectives like "Totta" or "Kancha".
6. Thou shall remember all the stupid punjabi songs sung by singers with weird names, by heart. (Well, I must say the song names are also weird..check this.. Chah da Cup...and then Chah da Cup- Part 2 and Chah da Cup-Part 3..ummm…I thought of suggesting the singer about Patiala glass so that only one would suffice)
7. Thou shall always strive to get big brands and fight with father for money in order to accomplish it and then again fight with father to convince him on price after accomplishing it. As the same famous song goes again:
"te baapu ghoore…TOMMY diya shartan, ainak ARMAANI"
8. Thou shall religiously and daily go to Gurudwara (Hell NO!!! SiKh BoIs are not religious, and the purpose is not at all religion, but for so called "Totta" and "Kancha".. Refer commandment # 5)
9. Thou shall ceremoniously perform only bhangra steps when in disc, irrespective, the DJ is playing House or Hip-Hop or Techno.
10. Thou shall not hit the author of this post.
Well, these are the 10 can-be-publicly-disclosed-types. For more information, get in touch with author.
P.S. Now I am not a big fan of this song, but it captures the entire essence very well. And, this one also gonna remind all of us of our wonderful college days.
