Glasgow diaries

Went to gurdwara today. It is Sunday, the perfect day to walk the half hour or so journey. So, lets start from start. 

Had gone for a friend's Halloween do last night, and by the time I got home and got some sleep (too much sugar from all the soda) it was LAATE.

So in the morning its a mad dash as I think I am late. Reach in record speed at the place I had arranged with a friend, and when she arrives she tells me I haven't changed my time, we are actually an hour early. HAHAHA I forgot to set my phone on auto change, so it was perfect really. 9 am sharp we walk for gurdwara. It is a rainy, dreary day, and we talk little, just hunched down from the cold and steady drizzle. 

Reach and it is quiet, I am happy. Quiet time means quality time. See some people are sitting in langgar, head straight up to darbar. 

Akhand path is going on, I sit and listen. And enjoy these moments, the few more minutes till it is time for the semapti of the path. The giani jis sing a shabad, he has a deep solid voice, the tune buoys me into calm and peace. Then as we are served hot delicious parshad I realise there are some girls climbing on stage. The secretary announces that Asa ki Vaar is now to begin. Ah, the joy! 

I grin and thank Guru ji, after all ohna ne meri sun leyi! 

She is good, the singer. Lots of gusto. I am just having a GREAT time, while noticing that people are coming in by the dozens. We decide to have some worldly nourishments (langgar), albeit reluctant to leave, I go. Soon after, we see the jatha is also in langgar, so it must be 4 chants that they did. 

Anyway after eating we sit for abit more, listening to the end of one jatha and the start of the melodious giani ji again. 

I decide that it is time to head back, with the rain and walk back it will take me some time to rest and prepare for homework and preparations. 

I arrive home boosted and buoyed. 

Thank you, Guruji.
