Sikhs Parade for World Peace

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw a photograph (in voice of Asia) of Sikhs parading for world peace in Houston recently! A peace march with swords?! What's next? 

Photo Source: Sikh Center, Houston

To an outsider, this probably would look like a group of Taliban folks pledging to execute a Fatwa!  It takes an Indian to understand the cultural significance of swords in Sikhism.

On a slightly different note, I wonder if I could justify attending these parades on skipping work, by calling in Sikh :-)

Ha, ha, Gopa.

Not very different from that son of a Bush trying to bring peace to Iraq, with a ton of ammo :-)

What are you talking about? Bush is a liberator. All these killings are for greater good! OK, need I say that I was being sarcastic?

Well said, Raama. Show me a W, and I will show you a Surd with no turban :-)
