Dear kaka_bhoondpataka,
Sat Sri Akaal ji
Welcome and Thanks for the concern.
First of all, I must mention, that I had a hearty laugh on seeing your ID, that s so funny :ice:
I am getting a feeling that you havent gone thru many a posts on this site, which give so much insight into different perspectives on sikhism and current affairs.
At this time, I find it appropriate to tell you why and how I got hooked onto this site! Aman Singh the site admin, did the SPN site work single-handedly since June 2004, why he did so - he is the best person to reply. My guess is - He has a fire to learn more about Sikhism, and spread the word and awareness. He wanted to setup a forum, where freedom of speech is respected.
okay, about me, why I come here, a few reasons to mention to you and other readers:
1. Civilized Discussion oriented posts
2. Almost zero person-bashing and religion-bashing
3. Quality of discussion which has attracted very prominent persons around the world.
4. Today we are 834 members, getting onto this level for a newcomer is not a kid's play.
5. I come here to read original articles of Gyani Jarnail Singh ji, Amarpal ji, Prabhjyot ji, Tejwant ji, S|kh ji, Navneet ji, drKhalsa ji and many more, the writings of whom have got so much of thought provoking material. That fills in the fire in me to become a better sikh.
6. The unique sense of humor of S|kh and Aman ji, with lot of checks for reality which may be biting, but we stand up here to think and act cohesively.
7. Look at projects section in this site, which briefly sums up what we plan to do. Now that Aman ji and Etinder ji have their vision, There are lot of things in our wish-list, and we are constantly looking for people who are willing to contribute in whichever way, most appropriate for them. Now write back, in what way you can share your time with us, but we do seek commitment, when u say 'Yes'
8. Getting refreshed by going to other sites is totally individual choice. I have chosen to learn which refreshes me more.
9. Interacting with people from various backgrounds here have improven my communication skills a lot, I think so
10. Free atmosphere where new people are encouraged to provide feedback. Eclectic, Amarpal ji gave us more input regarding site appearance and usability, and this is our attempt to make it more member-driven
11. Recently, I stay in arcade, as to get more and more titles. Navneet ji is anyway invincible.
12. Gallery is new thing, which is there to share pictures with sangat
13. To give the deserving attention to budding artists/writers by recognizing their work by displaying that on the homepage.
The list continues. I hope I have given best of the my own reasons though. Rest is totally your choice to come back here or not.
Looking forward to more curious questions from you and other readers. And of course, active participation in the real discussions already going on.
Best Regards kaka_bhoondpataka veer.
Arvind.
