Plus, I've never associated turbans with female Sikhs before, until I just researched "Western Sikhs". Not culturally what we're used to in India, but hey, why not. I've also never met a "Western Sikh" in New York either.

Turbans have got to be allowed to be worn by pilots though…there's no question.

I believe there is an omnipresent God who answers our good deeds. Everyday, we should devote some time
to prayers.

That helps me, not just during the near-miss incident at Mumbai airport, but also in other aspects of my life. Everything in my life has been smooth because of Him. But God is there not just to give, you also have to work hard.

I am very religious and spend two hours every day in prayers, usually before my flight. I constantly recite one verse, ‘‘ Hamri karo haath de raksha, puran hoi chit ki ichha’’ (Always protect me, let all my desires be fulfilled.) I also have a special puja room in my house. This is something I always wanted as a child, whenever I could build my own house. In fact, i rejected many houses as they didn’t have a puja room.

I visit the gurdwara every day after my flight lands, be it in Delhi, Bangalore, Bangkok or Singapore. I carry three religious books with me in my flight bag, including the Sukhmani Sahib and the Japuji Sahib, and don’t let anyone tamper with it. God is part of my consciousness every minute and He gives me peace and contentment. Sometimes my colleagues and also ask me to pray on their behalf.

I was born a premature baby, just the size of a palm and was therefore called Mickey, after Mickey Mouse. For my mother, I am a miracle child, despite the complications she had during my birth. She is my inspiration. But everyone in the family says I am a step ahead of them. I try and inculcate the same religiosity in my children, and tell them to devote at least five minutes each day to God. I make sure they do ‘ matha tek’ before going to school.

Gurjot, stick to one handle in The Langar Hall. Do not keep changing and do not tell me how to do my job. Please focus on the topic at hand….Admin Singh

Gurjot = Idabat = pUNJABIsikh = jeev = Truthful…you were repeatedly warned about sock-puppetting. It says scores about you that instead of having any argument, you must resort to pretending to be others in order to make it seem you have more support. We know who you are and where you live in New York. Unless you want your name and address posted here, we suggest you just stop. You are hereby banned.

Grow up and stick to the topic or be banned. This is a warning for the two of you.

you are right that in Indian pilots are allowed to keep there faith….in fact there is not a single job in India where a Sikh has to cut his beard or trim it…..(not that i know of)
in fact my uncle(retired)was a top IAS officer in india

in America there are too many restrictions for Sikhs & Muslims in public and so many private sector jobs
