Anyway, I had some questions that weren't worthy of a new thread. My family is from A.P. so you might get an understanding of why I am naive about this stuff.
1. What is a jat singh?
2. what is a sindhi?
3. What is a sardarni?
if any of these terms are negative - i apologize in advance

1. What is a jat singh?
Well sikhs (those who follow the religion sikhism; also called punjabi's) are kind of subdivided further as Bhapas and Jat-sikhs. Jat sikhs nowdays will generally cut their hair ( uncut hair is a religious thing for sikhs; but jat-sikhs are relatively liberal)
Also all jats or punjabi's are not "singh", it is a surname. I think it was a 'title' conferred in older times as singh means tiger ...

3. What is a sardarni?
A sikh may also called sardar (M)...and sardarni (F)

sleeping is fun. it's one of my hobbies. :)
i went to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC today... actually left The Bubble and ventured out into the wide wide world. Of art. It was so awesome... maybe...maybe I'll post some pics. They yelled at me a few times b/c the flash kept going off during each picture...and the flash ruins the artwork. Oops. :oops:
Anyone like art??? They had sitars, tablas, Ganeshas, Shivas, Vishnus all on display in a few sections. >>sigh<< Their place is in a temple. Not a museum.. but whatever... I digress.. yeah. sleeping is cool. :D
 
hi swetha, keep the pic. coming!

i la-ha-hav (thats love) museums.... and i sure wud love to be stranded on an island full of museums... they are amazing because you can put together the works of brilliant artists and such diff styles -- all under the same roof
so any pics wud be much appreciated...
I agree though- sometimes indian religious symbols and figurines are used incorrectly-- not intentionally maybe-- but its worse when people think its "cool" without knowing what its all really about.....
but then in a way it makes people aware of our culture when you put these in a museum...but when they put the symbols on T-shirts with no sence of the meaning---that is not cool!
 
^ yep, the whole use of Indian/Hindu symbols on t-shirts gets me, cause it is all misused. I also get irked by people that pronounce the word chakra, as "shaakrah". :shudder: :laugh:

As for the museums Swetha, I enjoy them a lot. Have you seen any Norman Rockwell paintings? They are an adventure just looking at them. Picasso is really a master at his technique at painting. Monet takes some getting used to (at least for me).

However, if the museum is trying to show Indian artwork from a certain era, then I got no probs with that. In fact, that is probably the only way anyone can see some really old pieces.

hey hopeful, is this a picture of Ambergris Caye - part of Belize??
Where ever it is... it's beautiful :)
 
yeah in reply to what sunny and hopeful said- museums are awesome. :thumbup:
and yes, i hate it when people walk around w/ shirts, sandals, bags, etc that have the "om" symbol on it or various hindu dieties. i get so angry. there are a handful who know the significance of such things, but most of them have no idea. i'm sure japanese/chinese (east-asians) ppl also get annoyed when seeing things like the yin-yang being displayed on stupid things like bags.. idiots. trying to americanize all that. sorry just frustrated. :mad:
norman rockwell- i'll be honest, haven't really paid much attention to his works. i love salvador dali and max ernst b/c they've got SUCH an abstract way of looking at life, that you get perplexed looking at their artwork and just wonder what exactly is going on in their minds. it's pretty sweet. surrealism- love it. :D picasso is awesome too, i love is abstractness (yeah i just made up a word). monet- i've always loved his works. i tried to replicate one of his pieces and it actually turned out pretty good! i was surprised,
although it took me about the entire semester of that one art class to finish it. ugh. right now i'm working on a painting of Ganesha.. it's so hard!!!
i went to the met yesterday w/ my friend, and when we entered the south asian art section, she was like..wow some of this is...weird.. so i'm there thinking, um...no..not really... i think you need an honest sense of appreciation for the world and what it has to offer, if you want to appreciate art for what it is.
later kids, i'm gonna bum around. :)

Nope Ms. Lata, I haven't been. But I hope to be going there soon. As for that whole plane thing, one of my friends told me how people grab hold on to the fences at the airport, while the planes take off. The force of the takeoff is sooo strong, that people really gotta hold on tight to that fence, or else they get blown away.

I'll post my experiences when it happens :laugh: .
 
Awesome pics, Lata. Make me wanna just pack my bags and fly there...hehe
