Being In London

Let me just give some background info on my circumstances. I moved to London about 12 years ago and I have never really fully fitted in even though I tried. I have just had enough of the rude people here. Where I live there are mostly black/white/Asian people.

Due to the large number of black people in London. The culture people follow is largely a black culture. ie the music the fashion and even they way they talk has become a dialect of Jamaican origin.

I am originally from a town close to Manchester where people tend to be alot more reserved and respectful. I feel like I don't belong here. Its not like i want to go back up north as ive lived here so long. i just feel i don't belong anywhere even if I moved back. but something tells me I would be happier back close to the north somewhere. I live in a predominantly black and white area in the east of London. anyone got any ideas where I could move that is more friendlier then in east London. I know areas up north are also bad in certain parts.

At these times i just feel like packing my bags and going back to Amritsar in india where my home region is back home.

Wow 12 years is a long time yet you still feel out of place. Maybe you just miss being up north? I moved from yorkshire to london. Every now and then i go back up to visit family. I think i need that mix of country and city. I love london. I love how everyone keeps themselves to themselves. Busy in their own lives. Even the dogs dont give you a second gaze! Whereas in the country everyones in everyones business. But at times i miss the greenery. Trees and grass and open skies. Each to their own i guess.

Veer it really comes down to where in london you are. Londons possibly the most diverse city ever. When im in london, i feel like im abroad but with all the british comforts. Another thing i love about london. Everyone belongs. Everyones foreign. I feel more at home. I guess spending so much time up north amongst the majority white folk, i long for that sense of belonging.

Hmm friendly areas in london, Holland Park- my fave place to be, Shephards Bush in and around westfields, Kensington just about anywhere ;). Anywhere thereabouts is good for me. Im sure there are many more places. You just have to go out there and explore.

Maybe a trip Home, Panjab would do you some good?

Well its Kalyug the darkest age and in an age where the world is fool of idio*ts, and Londin being one of the most fickle places in the world, its no suprise there is no shortage of fools here.

Its people in pain though, insecure, unhappy and uncontent people. The media brainwashes people to their agenda. Tge fools are what we should aspire Not to be. A wise man learns from a fools mistakes. A fool learns from his own mistakes.

Also in London, people may seem to keep themselves to themselves, but faced with the jyot of a bhagat, mobs can go insane with anger. Try it out, do naam simran near a bunch of people who are proper into kalyug and see how they react, but hold on tight to who u are because they may try and make u what they want u to be. Watch their 5 thieves rise, the jealousy and anger and see the reality of this age.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
