Harbhajan Singh Cheema

Book : Siftan Khalsa Raj Diyan 
Author : Harbhajan Singh Cheema 
Historians have provided information in their writings at various times about those diplomats and travelers who came to Punjab during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and shortly thereafter, but this information has often been very brief. Therefore, through this series of articles, the aim is to share the unbiased firsthand accounts of these diplomats and travelers regarding the Sikh states on the other side of the Sutlej, Punjab, Multan, Sindh, the Sindh river, areas of the Sindh region, Peshawar, Jammu and Kashmir, Kabul, and Central Asia, along with details about the Sikh Empire and Maharaja Ranjit Singh. This effort is made so that readers can feel pride in knowing about the great legacy and fame of their Sikh Empire and also uncover some hidden truths that have remained absent from Sikh history books until now.

Relationship Has Significance...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Relationship has significance only when it is a process of self-revelation - 17 July 1949

relationship. 
• Is it possible to love without the interference of the mind? 
• When the mind becomes supreme, all-important, then there can be no 
affection. 
• Q: What is that thinking that must come to an end? What do you mean by 
thinking and thought?

Consider the Turkey

Peter Singer

Why this holiday season is a great time to rethink the traditional turkey feast 
 
 
 
A turkey is the centerpiece of countless Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Yet most of us know almost nothing about today's specially bred, commercially produced birds. In this brief book, bestselling author Peter Singer tells their story—and, unfortunately, it's not a happy one. Along the way, he also offers a brief history of the turkey and its consumption, ridicules the annual US presidential "pardon" of a Thanksgiving turkey, and introduces us to "a tremendously handsome, outgoing, and intelligent turkey" named Cornelius. Above all, Singer explains how we can improve our holiday tables—for turkeys, people, and the planet—by liberating ourselves from the traditional turkey feast. In its place, he encourages us to consider trying a vegetarian alternative—or just serving the side dishes that many people already enjoy far more than turkey. Consider the Turkey will make you reconsider what you serve for your next holiday meal—or even tomorrow's dinner.
