Speed Meeting Sikhs
Co-blogged by Sundari and Ajaib Kaur
How many young Sikh women do you know who are looking to meet their Sardar? And how many young Sikh men do you
know who are looking to meet their Sardarni?
Lots? We hear you. But how can we make these two groups meet?
We decided to write a post on this topic for many different reasons. It’s clear that there is little space elsewhere to talk about how young Sikhs can meet each other, with the potential of pursuing something beyond a friendship.
Gasp! Are we actually admitting this? After a few dialogues with friends and families, we decided that we may as well start breaking the ice here on the West Coast. Over the last few years, SikhNet has been hosting “Gursikh Speed Meetings”, in cities such as New York, Boston, and Toronto. It is nice to see that the organizers has decided to bring this successful event to the West Coast, in our beloved City of Angels. These events give young, single Sikhs between the ages of 25-40 a chance to meet fellow single-and-ready-to-mingle like minded Sikhs in a communal safe space. This concept may feel familiar, because it is. The ‘speed meeting’ is a popular spin-off of an American cultured speed-dating event; having an even number of men and women participants, and rotating through getting a brief chance to connect with everyone in the room. It seems like a lot of work, but based on our feedback from some past participants, it is fairly enjoyable. The best part: if you do not click with someone mutually, you do not need to face them again. Contact information is only shared if both parties have expressed interest in each other. Fool proof for both ladies and gents!

what about us 40-somethings? are we a lost cause?
Jothi Ji–of course not! How about suggesting this to the organizers of the event? I think it at least warrants an email!
yo they stole my idea.
Who needs "speed meetings" when we have Jakara?
I was gonna write that.
Purely going per stats, SIKHS shall be facing extinction by 2050 (mark this!) http://members.beforeitsnews.com/story/309/257/19…
Hi, i think that i noticed you visited my website thus i got here to go back the choose?.I am trying to find things to enhance my web site!I assume its good enough to use a few of your ideas!!
Change is inevitable and whoever resists change may actually get swept away by the change. If we do not accept changes is our lives we may just become extinct. Change is a natural phenomenon, that means, we cannot stop it. The sooner we start to believe we can change the sooner we start to actually realize the results we aspire to achieve in our lives. If we could just stay motivated to embrace the changes in our lives the more successful we become. So with that said, SINGLE sikhs should start to go out and meet potential suitors otr other single like minded people – other sikhs
