Phulkari ☼: Expectations
We get hurt often by people because we expect so much from them. People can not live up to our needs. Or they do on occasion, then we build an attachment around how we want them to treat us, and then we simultaneously get hurt.
This is all because our lives are so entwined in the happenings of…
Indira Gandhi makes an address for peace to the nation, in the full knowledge that on her orders tens of thousands of army troops are planning to launch a full scale war against a mass of unarmed civilian targets inside and around the Complex.
As she makes the address, those Sikhs murdered on the 1st June (Bhai Mengha Singh pictured) by soldiers on her command, are cremated.
The telephone connections of the Golden Temple Complex are disconnected. The few armed Sikhs we see make up only a fraction of the population of Punjab.

"One key to obtaining and maintaining happiness in our lives is to stay away from comparing ourselves to others. Some people feel awkward because they’re not like others. Be yourself and let others get inspired to be like you. You may not live up to everyone’s standards, but there’s someone out there who will love you just the way you are. Don’t change so people will like you. People judge you regardless so you might as well be yourself when they do."

You must know yourself to free yourself from yourself."
