How do you approach a Singh? Kaurs United Camp - Q&A #9

  • 0:00 - 0:09
    [Music]
  • 0:09 - 0:14
    Here's a bit of a double-edged question,
    I am not sure which way it flows.
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    How do we go up to a Gur Sikh Singh?
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    Who we feel could be a great help
    on our path towards our GURU.
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    I am not sure if this question is
  • 0:23 - 0:27
    How do you approach this guy for marriage
    or just to ask him for some advice?
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    So, I will try to answer both.
  • 0:31 - 0:35
    I don't want another person to feel
    like they have to stand up right now.
  • 0:35 - 0:40
    Let's say someone's going to help you
    because you got a sawal jawab right?
  • 0:40 - 0:46
    In a public area, go and approach them.
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    In a Gurudwara or somewhere,
    where everybody can see you
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    and there's no worries there.
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    Just go up to them and bula Fateh
    and say "I had a question for you."
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    Just be straight don't feel
    sharminda or ashamed.
  • 0:56 - 1:00
    I've had people approach me here and
    say "Can I speak to you for 2 minutes?"
  • 1:00 - 1:05
    I said "Sure." I tend to do it out there so
    people know I'm talking to that person.
  • 1:05 - 1:10
    That person obviously asks me
    a question, so no one can say.
  • 1:10 - 1:16
    If you feel awkward, like just a
    single girl going up to a single guy.
  • 1:16 - 1:21
    If he's single as well and people might
    ask questions, go with a friend of yours.
  • 1:20 - 1:24
    Tell your friend, if you can trust someone
    then go as two people and go and ask.
  • 1:24 - 1:29
    May be that will stop any fingers
    being pointed at you right.
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    Otherwise, nowadays we have
    WhatsApp and all that kind of stuff.
  • 1:32 - 1:35
    You can text them or Facebook
    them, that is right as well.
  • 1:35 - 1:40
    But make sure if you're only asking for
    advice and the guy happens to be single,
  • 1:40 - 1:44
    make sure you draw that distinction so,
    that guy doesn't get the wrong signal.
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    You don't want to confuse the issue.
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    Especially, if you are asking
    for advice from somebody.
  • 1:50 - 1:54
    This is for most Pracharaks
    who have this problem.
  • 1:54 - 1:58
    I am lucky that I started Prachar
    when I was already married.
  • 1:56 - 2:00
    but the the thing is that there is this
  • 1:58 - 2:02
    thing that women think
  • 2:00 - 2:04
    oh then then within them they've got
  • 2:02 - 2:06
    this thing as well and so you need to
  • 2:04 - 2:08
    make a line
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    like you going for make sure you have
  • 2:08 - 2:13
    like that thing clear in your head now
  • 2:10 - 2:15
    when it's for a then definitely try and
  • 2:13 - 2:18
    use somebody like who can be in between
  • 2:15 - 2:20
    yeah are you single is going to be
  • 2:18 - 2:22
    embarrassed cuz you put him on the spot
  • 2:20 - 2:24
    in Punjabi environment we always give
  • 2:22 - 2:26
    someone a way out right you you give
  • 2:24 - 2:27
    them a way out so they don't embarrass
  • 2:26 - 2:29
    so they might cuz if you go them
  • 2:27 - 2:30
    directly then they're fussy they can
  • 2:29 - 2:32
    either say yes or no and that can be
  • 2:30 - 2:34
    embarrassing on both sides and they
  • 2:32 - 2:36
    might say the wrong thing just to like
  • 2:34 - 2:39
    just to keep so therefore use a bol and
  • 2:36 - 2:43
    find someone so use someone to find out
  • 2:39 - 2:45
    if that person is uh free right but then
  • 2:43 - 2:47
    don't be sitting your late 20ies and you
  • 2:45 - 2:48
    haven't ever decided to make an approach
  • 2:47 - 2:51
    on somebody you do like who is also
  • 2:48 - 2:54
    single right have a bit of courage these
  • 2:51 - 2:55
    things are important it's part of life
  • 2:54 - 2:57
    we don't need to be so koi about this
  • 2:55 - 2:59
    that we're sitting there on you know and
  • 2:57 - 3:01
    everybody seems to be getting married if
  • 2:59 - 3:04
    your family is not into siki if you
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    can't find someone to do
  • 3:07 - 3:11
    bolin so but you don't want to you don't
  • 3:09 - 3:13
    want to let leave it too late right it's
  • 3:11 - 3:14
    not good to just leave it leave it leave
  • 3:13 - 3:17
    it and you think wait for your parents
  • 3:14 - 3:18
    to do something if they're delay they
  • 3:17 - 3:19
    can't be bothered get a friend or
  • 3:18 - 3:22
    someone to make the approach for you
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    then
  • 3:24 - 3:31
