Arshi ji,
My introduction to cartography was the four colour problem in a topology class. That, and, HERE THERE BE DRAGONS. (And not in Wales.) It's a fascinating field and beautiful, too. My dream, one of my dreams, was to be a meteorologist until I found out it was all partial differential equations with lots of noise. I moved on to other dreams. I have enough dreams to keep me busy for quite a long time. Thinking about it, it's amazing how many of my personal dreams have come true. I have not had such success with my universal dreams, but "I keep laughing instead of crying, I'll be fighting until I'm dying..."
How you wear your beard is your business and no one else's (except maybe your wife). Everybody who knows me knows that I prefer the natural look. A flowing beard for the man (and woman, if she is so blessed), an unpainted face for both man and woman. I insist that my clothes by comfortable and clean and cover me decently. Turban is special. It is a special gift and needs to be treated as such. It should be as beautifully tied as possible, to honour the Guru (not to stroke the ego).
Now...what has this to do with my Smileys? Nothing, really, but those of us over 60 must be indulged occasionally eh? 
I was working on some little pictures, not smileys exactly, of the 5 K's. and I got sidetracked
