Happy Vaisakhi Everyone

April 14th is Vaisakhi. So get into the festive mood, beat the drums, dance the Bhangra and sing “Balle,.. Balle”

Vaisakhi is the celebration of the Birth of the Khalsa (The Sikh Faith) and also the celebration of the harvest in Punjab, India.

Sikhism is the 5th largest religion in the world and originated in…duuh! India of course. I can’t be arsed to write about it so below are some links if you are interested to find out what the festivities are about and their historical importance.

Hi Dave

Where is that statue of the monkeys? It's really funny (speak evil, take evil, listen to evil)

Thanks, very good blog, must take a lot of your time
That's the trouble with the wretched computer, it takes so much of one's time

all the best
