Sikh Women’s Love Anthology: Submission Call
We believe at the heart of each Sikh American woman, there are multiple love stories that inhabit the mind, body, and soul.
Artist: Rupy Cheema Tut
This one is for you dear Kaurs!
The first ever Sikh Women’s Love Anthology is being created and your voices are needed. This groundbreaking anthology will be a compilation of love stories written by and about Sikh women living in North America and will be published in the form of memoirs, creative non-fiction stories, and creative essays.
Sikh women have an incredible history of powerful and inspiring narratives – often heard through our oral tradition. This project is a way of documenting these narratives and providing a space for women in the Sikh community, connecting with one another to dialogue and document the complexities and nuanced experiences of love as we see it. Love can take many forms – “through lovers holding hands, singing a shabad, eating a good meal to nourish one’s body, hiking an unknown terrain, traveling a new country, holding a sick child close, fighting for civil and human rights or even embarking on the journey to falling in love with ourselves as women and human beings, spiritual beings” [from guidelines]. Love is at the core of our very existence as Sikhs.
This is a wonderful opportunity to pave the path for Kaur voices that we do not often hear. Sikh women who are dedicated to their families, their faith and their activism and manifest their love in dynamic ways. Yet their stories go unheard. Documenting one’s story provides for self-reflection and is “an act of resistance against social, cultural, media, and political forces that want to define women as less than humane“. This is an important way to chronicle narratives for future generations of Sikh American women and men.

The guidelines end with this beautiful quote by poet and philosopher, Professor Puran Singh,
Love in the Sikh framework is “Ajar Vastu,” a thing that cannot be absorbed; it tends to overflow the banks of the heart. Love is the simple, inmost state of life, which depends on no outward condition of life. As the seed is to the pine tree, love is to the true woman. The latter is the whole of it in stuffy of growth, leafage, blossom, and fruitage. Love has hands and feet and it works. Love is called “Ajar Vastu,” a thing that cannot be absorbed; it tends to overflow the banks of the heart.

I know the post is somewhat old yet you could take a stab at griping to OF COM and after that getting assistance from them to compose a letter to VF to escape your agreement speedier and for nothing out of pocket. I've perused somewhere about a person who did this (it was the very same issue as you have, not having the capacity to utilize outsider switch) and he was effective.
Other Potential Problems now and again, even with regulated gadgets and VPP application conveyance, issues happen. Here are the regular ones to watch out for:Some application licenses don't bolster gadget task. Application licenses, as a matter of course, bolster gadget task. Application designers hold the rights to impair this element, be that as it may. On uncommon event, you may find that application licenses you have obtained don't bolster gadget based task. At the point when this happens, iOS will provoke the client for an Apple ID.
