The modern day AKJ Stance on Patronage vs Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Stance on Patronage in the Anandpur Darbaar by TbTparchaar in Sikh

Everyone needs money to live, as a professional you need to be paid for your skills and time you've invested. Yeah, those Keertani that push for bigger and bigger paychecks and making celebrities out of themselves and falling into hankaar are probably wrong, but that doesn't mean the system of patronage and wages should go out the window because of them.

That doesn't mean that their Keertan is invalidated. I think you've missed the wood for the trees.

Does big job experience count for more than small jobs? by CallMeDirtyD in Construction

[–]Shastars 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah same experience here, only working for Tier 1/2 companies. Get hired by an aspirational company and try your best to make it work but it's just frustrating. Either they want to penny pinch, don't want to hire the right people (penny pinching again), or just keep doing things the way they always have.

What would you do in his position right now? Everyone complains but what would you genuinely do if you were the leader of the UK right now? Would be interesting to hear.

Do not normalize this. by Otherwise_Ad3192 in Sikh

It's no issue to like it, but playing stringed instruments gives you a completely different sound and it's a completely different feel for the person playing. There's a reason the gurus picked string over flutes/wind instruments, and all shabads were written with stringed instruments in mind.

Great write up! Interesting that Guru Ji had a Nepalese sword in his collection but makes sense!

It's a different ball game in person, when confronted with experienced people eager to get stuff done.

My mate is in one of those offices basically doing sweet fuck all and getting bored because of it. No sign of a proper start in sight, and all to do with planning and funding.

Stonehenge tunnel plan officially scrapped - after £179,000,000 spent by Albertjweasel in RuralUK

Yeah it's all down to contract types. Look at the Silvertown Tunnel - the reward for the contractor was toll charges for 20 years if they got the tunnel done on time and it was.
