i love being southeast asian.

despite whatever unhappy history, despite the rise of ethnonationalism and racism in our countries; despite the fact that most of us remain in the global south under the invisible thumb of western empires and conglomerates, exploited by rich expats and beg-packers; despite the conservatism, the bigotry, the pain and prejudice and the corruption.

despite all that, i love where i am from. this is my home.

my hands tenderly trace the lines of our history and find within it a colourful collection of influences that continue to shape us until today:

the native malays, javanese, sundanese, minangkabau, bugis, visayan, tagalog, and other dominant peoples.

alongside indigenous tribes like the iban, kadazan, sama-bajau, temuan, penan, jakun, and hundreds upon hundreds more ethnic groups.

all of us holding onto our ancestors' mysticism and spirituality and animism, the watchful gaze of legacy fixed on us as we move through an ever-changing and modernising world (and what is modernity anyway? isn't civilisation overrated?).

and then the chinese peoples. the hainanese, hokkien and cantonese and more, many of whom came here due to trade in the pre-colonial era, but then most arrived as the imported labour for the colonial powers.

but this is their home too. we live here together, and through them we all celebrate lunar new year and the mid-autumn festival. all of us give red envelopes during our many festivals. we give oranges that symbolise prosperity and ring in the year of the rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat. we hold lion dance performances in our malls and marks. we eat and exchange mooncakes.

and then the indian peoples, though mostly tamil indians from south india, but also sikhs, malayalis, and punjabis, who arrived and assimilated and spread their culture and beliefs much earlier before the pre-colonial era, causing the indianisation of southeast asia. then more indian peoples came during the colonial era, again, as imported labour, working our fields or donning the uniform of our common oppressors, kept walled away from us despite how alike we look and sound.

because truly we do sound the same. sanskrit remains an abundant source for a large chunk of our languages. i hear the vedic mantras and can pick apart words that sound familiar. hinduism and buddhism still leaves its traces in our cultures even for those of us who've shifted to islam.

and yes, islam. we're not what the west thinks of when they talk about the muslim world, but southeast asia has some of the largest muslim populations in the world. because through trade, since the medieval times, islam came here and with it brought so many arabic influences that has come to shape our languages and customs, with plenty of our cultures having since been morphed around islamic beliefs and ideas. in malaysia and indonesia and brunei (and perhaps even certain parts of the philippines) you'll find a mosque or a prayer room everywhere you go. and every ramadan millions of us fast, every eid all of us dress up and visit each other's houses for feasts and festivities.

then of course came european colonisation at the hands of the portugese, dutch, british (in malaysia and indonesia's case we got all three), spanish, and french their reigns lasting over 400 years. and from them we came european culture and more new languages, english quickly becoming a second language (or even a first language) for so many of us, missionaries building churches and spreading the word of jesus christ as the son of god; with their fair features they draw a line between us and them, between the civilised and the barbarians, between the light-haired light-eyed and the unruly dark-haired dark-eyed.

and then comes world war 2 and the japanese invasion, and for most it was so brutal and violent, and for the rest it was miserable, with famine and inflation but we were forced to sing songs in japanese anyway, to watch their planes fly in the sky towards their enemies, to swallow their ideas in our parched throats.

and then the war ended and wounds began to heal, and then came the 1980s until now with all its shiny technology: nintendo, panasonic, television and anime, and now we have leagues of people learning japanese language and culture anyway, except now it is done wholeheartedly, and as it turns out japanese isn't even that different from our own cultures anyway. houses on stilts made of wood with thatch roofs, making our living from the sea and coast, eating rice for every meal, our phonetics and theirs so alike.

and today we have waves of their expats migrating here because of course they do, we're the Global South™ and for them it's cheap and affordable, so we have little japans sprouting here and there and sometimes i go to a random street and find signs written in japanese and read bits of broken hiragana.

and it's beautiful, being able to move through this world and find the handprints we've all left upon it. it's a wonderful amalgam of so many traditions and colours and beliefs and language all mixing around in this huge bubbling melting pot.

and i'm not chinese or indian or arab or british but when i see them on tv, i'm also seeing a part of me, i hear the words in their tongue and i recognise them as mine, i eat their food and know them as intimately as my own.

but of course our politicians, our kings and our prime ministers (and the divide-and-conquer rule of colonisers now gone) continue to divide us and make us hate each other, fanning flames of distrust and fear of that-which-is-different.

it's such a shame too, because it's so special. it's what makes us us, our dozens of creoles, the way we can speak a sentence comprising vernacular from at least four languages and we all understand each other anyway.

we have a word in malay, "rojak", which is also the name of a dish that mixes a bunch of different ingredients, and is found in malaysian, indonesian and singaporean cuisine. but where i'm from, we also say "rojak" to mean anything that's an eclectic mixture of things, things that seemingly don't go together and aren't necessarily pleasing to the eye but still, somehow, it works, in fact it tastes good, spicy and flavourful and hearty.

and that's us: southeast asia, all of it, a beautiful rojak culture. and it's ours.

#writeblr #people of color #writers on tumblr #writers of color #writing #southeast asia #asian culture #i woke up today and started feeling so many things. i looked around and felt full of love.#but i go on social media and it makes me angry and sad to see how much everyone hates each other #my love is not for what it is but what it could be #lots of my friends wish they could leave. emigrate to australia or UK or US. but even if i could i wouldn't.#this is my home. there is nowhere else.#when i was teaching and i saw those kids' faces it cemented it for me even more.#like if not for anything else i'll stay. i'll do it for them. carve out a community for them. for us.#shut up haydar #scribblings.txt

So, you need the Christ ANTTAR SATGURU ARADHIYAE in your heart to sing His praises at home. https://youtu.be/F5CNYHQJZgk Sat Guru Nanak Pargatya Song by Asa Singh, Asees Kaur, and Shipra Goyal LyricsListenArtists ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਪ੍ਰਗਟਿਆ ਮਿਟੀ ਧੁੰਧੁ ਜਗਿ ਚਾਨਣੁ ਹੋਆ। सतिगुरु नानकु प्रगटिआ मिटी धुंधु जगि चानणु होआ । With the emergence of the true Guru Nanak, The mist cleared and the light scattered all around. ਜਿਉ ਕਰਿ ਸੂਰਜੁ ਨਿਕਲਿਆ ਤਾਰੇ - Brahmins and Rabbis whilst Moon is Moses and Ram Chander ਛਪਿ ਅੰਧੇਰੁ ਪਲੋਆ*। Their time is gone. जिउ करि सूरजु निकलिआ तारे छिपे अंधेरु पलोआ । As if at the sun rise the stars Disappeared and the darkness dispelled. ਸਿੰਘ ਬੁਕੇ ਮਿਰਗਾਵਲੀ ਭੰਨੀ ਜਾਇ ਨ ਧੀਰਿ ਧਰੋਆ। सिंघु बुके मिरगावली भंनी जाइ न धीरि धरोआ । With the roar of the lion in the forest the Flocks of escaping deer now cannot have endurance. ਜਿਥੇ ਬਾਬਾ ਪੈਰ ਧਰਿ ਪੂਜਾ ਆਸਣੁ ਥਾਪਣਿ ਸੋਆ। जिथे बाबा पैरु धरे पूजा आसणु थापणि सोआ । Wherever Baba put his feet, A place of worship was erected and established. ਸਿਧ ਆਸਣਿ ਸਭਿ ਜਗਤ ਦੇ ਨਾਨਕ ਆਦਿ ਮਤੇ ਜੇ ਕੋਆ। सिधासणि सभि जगति दे नानक आदि मते जे कोआ । All the siddh-places of the world are Now have been renamed on the name of Nanak. ਘਰਿ ਘਰਿ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਧਰਮਸਾਲ ਹੋਵੈ ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਸਦਾ ਵਿਸੋਆ। घरि घरि अंदरि धरमसाल होवै कीरतनु सदा विसोआ । Every home has become a place of Dharma where Kirtans are always sung. ਬਾਬੇ ਤਾਰੇ ਚਾਰਿ ਚਕਿ ਨਉ ਖੰਡਿ ਪ੍ਰਿਥਮੀ ਸਚਾ ਢੋਆ। बाबे तारे चारि चकि नउ खंडि प्रिथवी सचा ढोआ । Baba liberated all four directions and nine divisions of earth. ਗੁਰਮਖਿ ਕਲਿ ਵਿਚ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਹੋਆ ॥੨੭॥ गुरमुखि कलि विचि परगटु होआ॥२७॥ Gurmukh (Guru Nanak) has emerged in this kaliyug, the dark age. Source: Musixmatch Punjabi - Nanak was a Satguru = Christ = Second coming of Jesus. It is humiliating to call Him a Guru. Gurus are the moral teachers which are Mother = Social, Father = Economical and Brahmin = Political affairs. https://youtu.be/PRue0CgSND8 PAWANN (REVELATION) ARANBHH (BEGINNING) SATGUR (SAT = THE BOTTOM LINE GOSPEL TRUTH, THE ROCK OVER WHICH THE TEMPLE OF GOD STANDS AND GUR MEANS TARIKA = FORMULA, WHICH IS LOGICAL REASONING THAT YOU HAVE TO DO) MATT (WISDOM OR WAY OF LIFE) WAILA (TIME); SHABD (END PRODUCT = NECTAR OF THE LOGICAL REASONING CALLED LOGO = HIS WORD) GURU = TEACHER; SURAT (COMMON SENSE) DHUNN CHAELA (A DEVOTED STUDENT). Hi Brethren, I hail from Punjab, India where the Second Coming of Jesus took place in 1469 in the name of Satguru = Christ Nanak. I have explained almost all the Parables and my views are very deep and most people do not understand. Gospel is for one in 1000 and two in 10000. Gospel Truth exposes the hypocrite Blasphemers and most people love sugarcoated sermons. You remove my videos and I request you to please think logically to understand my views. I have learnt the Gospel Truth through "Intuition" in which God teaches you and not these Professors dead in the dead letters. Let me see if anyone of these Professors could explain to me why John, the Baptist never baptised a woman, Gentile or a Samaritan but only the Jewish men of Age. Oxford University Professors have no idea of what I know. They are taught by men and not by God through intuition. That is why the Good News of the Birth of Jesus was broken to the Shepherds and not to the Temple High Priest, dead in the letters that bind people. Jesus came to set us FREE of the dead letters that finished with John - Luke 16v16. Very Bitter Gospel Truth that Jesus preached in the Temple that annoyed the Temple Priests very much. so the simple-minded people get annoyed with me. As I said earlier, Gospel Truth is for those who long for the Gospel Truth and they are very few indeed. Many are called but very few outspoken are chosen. God blesses everyone with Agape. the Divine Love of our Supernatural Father. There are Four religious qualities and they are 1. Haumae – Ego dominated – Honest like Peter but once-born. This Yug was Doapar. 2. Munn called Nafsaani clever people as the Rabbis/Brahmins/Mullahs, etc. are today in Kalyug and they create “Saltless” people with no conscience. The Rabbis that the born-blind person of John 9 confronted and asked them “Do you want to be the Disciples of Jesus”? The hypocrite Messianic Jews who created Pope and his Antichrist stooges in the Dog-Collared licenced by the Antichrist organisations that made people “Deaf and Dumb” or be killed by the Pope. Remember that in Kalyug when the moral teachers become crooks, then God sends His Very Son Christ Jesus and His Second Coming Satguru........ My ebook by Kindle.

"You know I don't like that fiction stuff you do," Helena said. She's a part of the dorm room I've been living in since I joined college. A hundred, two hundred years ago or so, she wore a suit and cut her hair short and managed to get into the college too. I didn't have to do any of that. I don't even have a suit.

"I didn't get into any adventures today," I replied to the room. The lamp had a really calming yellow light, the kind they say is good for your eyes before you sleep. Just like a fire out on a rocky outcropping, next to the cave you live in, where you're safe from the mammoths and the sabretooth tigers...

"You should," Helena said. "Or I might have to find a different room to haunt."

"You wouldn't dare." I turned in my bed and closed my eyes. My mind drifted, from the assignments that were pending, to the Punjabi song that I heard on Gurpreet's phone in the morning, and I wondered how many people in the world have heard that song, and how many ghosts have heard that song, and then I imagined what if a ghost sang that song, and what if...

"Hey, are you asleep already?" Helena asked.

"Yes."

"I was thinking... if you write a story and it's fiction when you write it, but then it comes true, does that mean it's stopped being fiction?"

I opened my eyes. "How long have you been nursing that question?"

"Oh, you know," she said. "A few hours. Maybe a few decades. I don't really remember."

"The possibility of fiction being real is so remote that your question is just... fantastical. I mean, you could just as well talk about alien invasions and Bigfoot."

"Ew, I don't like those." Helena may have flown around the room, because the lamp flickered just a bit, almost as if it was blinking sleepily. "Alien invasions and Bigfoot and all that nonsense... it's all fiction."

"Exactly," I said.

"But think about really, really realistic fiction. Like fiction based on your life—if you wrote what happens tomorrow, and it really did happen just as you said it would?"

"Then I'd have to start writing about lotteries and stocks."

Helena grumbled, somehow, even though there was no throat for it.

"I should write about you," I said. "I bet no one would believe you're real. That would be non-fiction turned into fiction."

"No, I don't quite think that's possible. What's real always stays real. It doesn't just disappear into imagination because it isn't there. _I_ don't just disappear into imagination."

I was quiet for a few moments. I didn't want to say anything that would upset my only friend at the university.

"Hey, are you asleep yet?" Helena asked.

"Yes."

"Do you think Joan of Arc was real?"

I imagined the movie about her that I'd seen when I was much younger. "Yeah," I said.

"Okay, and how about Jesus?"

"Him too."

"The Buddha? Confucius? Qin Shi Huang? Do you think Akhnehaten was real?"

"I don't know," I said. "I guess they were. They must have been."

"Hmm," Helena grumbled again. "I wish I was them."

THE IMPORTANCE OF INDIAN FESTIVALS

It's the whole question of the world --the moons, the values and myths," says Malvika Singh, editor of India magazine, a cultural publication in New Delhi." They are the life of the people. It's not so much a festival as living and prayer." In India, the abundance of festivals originates from the nation's religious diversity. For many, festivals are personal family affairs. However, there probably are several countries where rituals are performed with such public zest and uninhibited gaiety. These include the smaller melas or classic state fairs, and they frequently are as colorful as the bigger spectacles. Significant temples have their own calendar of events, honoring favorite deities in the town. The feast is devoted to the thousand-headed hydra, Ananta, whose coils form the couch of Vishnu and represent eternity. On this day, live cobras or their graphics are worshipped, and snake charmers do a lively business. Bengal and Kerala are facilities for snake worship. Some festivals celebrate a specific god's birthday such as Ram navami for arrival of lord Ram, Ganesh chaturthi or Ganesh utsav for arrival of lord Ganesha, Christmas celebrated for arrival of lord Jesus Christ. Sivaratri (March 8) is a feast in honour of Shiva and parties center from the sacred city of Varanasi at north-central India. The loyal hold processions into the temples and all-night vigils, which are supposed to guarantee material prosperity and heaven after death. The folks chant mantras to remain alert and alert the lingam, a stone phallus that symbolizes Shiva. The bamboo and paper figures tower against the fading evening light. Celebrated in late October or early November, households spend the weeks before Diwali sprucing up their homes, buying gifts and stocking up on festive foods and sweets. It's reminiscent of Christmas in Western countries. So many reasons and lots of seasons for many festivals. Not everybody follows every festival. Fundamentally we Indians long ago obtained it that festival is a motive for entire family to meet and catch up, be together, relax and feast together and live happily. Festivals also give us a much needed break from our everyday occasionally monotonous life. Here's a sampling of important festivals, their date this season and the best places to watch them. (A comprehensive calendar of Indian festivals can be obtained through government tourist offices in big Indian cities.) Holi (March 26) is an extravagant Icelandic feast marking the coming of spring. It's a time for playing tricks on others and making them seem ridiculous, even people who are your social superiors. Bonfires are lighted and the roads are packed with people throwing colored powder or water. The god Krishna, an incarnation of Vishnu, is often honored at this moment, so the very best to go through the festival is in Mathura, his birthplace, south of Delhi. Kumbha Mela (the second week in April) is held just once every 12 years, and will occur this year in Hardwar, a north India mountain town.

This festival is India best periodic honest. Millions will flock to the town to bathe in the Ganges, which plunges through a mountain gorge now and starts its slow motion to the Bay of Bengal in the east. One myth states that a god in the shape of a bird uttered a coveted kumbha or jar of ambrosia and stopped at Hardwar on the way to heaven. Another suggests the sacred nectar spilled in this place. (really Krishna), probably is the most famous Hindu shrine. An enormous decorated chariot, 45 ft high with wheels seven feet in diameter, bearing a picture of the god, is pulled through the streets by pilgrims.

It's most spectacular in Delhi, which stages a vibrant military extravaganza. Pushkar Cattle Fair (Nov. 16) is among India's most vibrant events. Over 200,000 people flock into the city, bringing with them thousands of camels, cows and horses. It's an important tourist event with a massive tent city set up to accommodate 3,000 visitors. Advance reservations are advised. Ugadi / gudi padwa is brand new year for Kannada Telugu Tulu and Marathi speaking people that is a festival of new year after the language that these individuals are speaking specifically Kannada Telugu Tulu Marathi. On the night of Diwali, which is known as the Festival of Lights, buildings and houses are summarized with countless oil candles and lamps.

Festivals like karva chauth, bakri identification and ramzaan come on a specific phase of the moon. "It's the tiny festivals," says Singh,"which are really the mind of the country." To get a visitor to India, a festival is an opportunity to glimpse the heart and soul of the nation. Significant parties are open to tourists, but others are mostly family vacations. Ganesh Chaturthi (Sept. 7) is enthusiastically celebrated in Bombay. The feast honors the favorite elephant-headed god whose odd appearance has a lot of explanations. The most prominent is his jealous father, Shiva, found him guarding his mother's home, failed to recognize him and lopped his head off. To placate his wife, Shiva promised to get the boy a new mind. The first one that could be procured was the elephant. In Bombay, pictures of Ganesh, the god of wealth, are transported through the streets to the waterfront and immersed in the sea. Some festivals such as vata savitri, varalakshmi vratam, karva chauth etc are distinguished by girls by keeping fast for extended life of the husbands. Karadaya nombu is a festival one of tamilians observed by woman child to married women, where they tie a sacred yellow thread around their necks and pray for good husband (unmarried women ) and long life of the spouse (married women) and this same man ought to be their husband to get next every birth. Understanding and appreciating a festival, it is helpful to have a basic outline of the Hindu pantheon. Brahma is rarely worshipped today. Vishnu and his wife Lakshmi still are widely admired. He and his wife, Devi, may take tens of thousands of forms and are known by several names. In the coming months, there could be chances to see many more. For India is a nation imbued with the joyous spirit. Religion is a living force , and festivals are its saying. India is a land of individuals who follow many religions and lots of gods. The reason we have numerous festivals is since some are based one's faith, some to celebrate god's birthday, some derive from harvest seasons, some are based on new years of different religions or languages, some are based on solar calender and a few are based on the phases of the moon and moon calender. The middle for the feast is Mathura, where dances are held to honor the god of dance and song. Young men form human pyramids and try to break yogurt pots hanging over the roads. This is in honor of the child Krishna who stole yogurt with the support of his friends. Many significant holidays are observed throughout the country, but how they're celebrated varies from area to area.

In New Delhi, Dussehra focuses on the exploits of Rama, the Traditional Hindu hero. Pictures of the goddess are carried through the streets and immersed in the sea or river. Dances, drama and other cultural displays are often held. Some festivals also occur by year like vasant panchami which celebrates spring. There are a few festivals celebrated solely to celebrate the brother bond and family bonds like kanupadi the day after Pongal, Raksha Bandhan, Bhaubeej. The event is Dussehra, the culmination of a 10-day Hindu festival. It commemorates a scene from the Indian epic,"The Ramayana," where the hero king Rama defeats his evil rival Ravanna and his allies. Festival of the Automobiles (July 9) is a colossal event held in Puri in the eastern state of Norissa. The Temple of Jagannath, lord of the world

Festivals like makar Sankranthi, pongal, baisakhi, Tamil new year, vishu arrive annually on a date which changes only by one either back or forth. These are harvest festivals dependent on sunlight. Baisakhi Tamil new year and vishu are new years for Punjabi, Tamil and Malayalam speaking persons that is according to Hindu calender. Nowadays, traditional Buddhism is confined mainly to the temperate areas. The Dalai Lama and his followers fled to the city following the Chinese invasion of Tibet, and it is now a centre for Buddhism and Tibetan culture. Onam Harvest Festival (Sept. 15) honors a fanatic, Mahabali. The devil was exiled into the nether world by Vamana, an incarnation of Vishnu, but each year he's permitted to return to go to his former kingdom. It's the most significant festival in Kerala and comes at the end of the monsoon. These sleek canoes with cobra-shaped sterns are paddled into the rhythmic strains of south Indian ship songs.

jak odzyskać dziewczynę Parineeti Chopra was given birth to on 12 May 1988 into a Hindu Punjabi family in Ambala, Haryana. Parineeti has completed her lessons in Hindustani classical music and desired to become a good investment banker she took to study in the Manchester Business School inside UK and got a new triple honors' degree in Business, Finance and Economics jak odzyskać byłą but luck dint favored her. She was unable to get yourself a job and returned to India. She completed her schooling next year from Convent of Jesus and Mary, within the Ambala Canton. Being an educated girl Parineeti desired to work and don't act but When she came back to India during 2009 the complete country is at recession thereby Joined Yash raj Banner being a publicist where she got an alteration for audition and she got selected from this point her journey started. Though conceiving a child could be the personal decision of couple but in case of Kate and Prince William, it would appear that social and family pressure forced the couple to have a child soon. As per some rumors, Queen have told the Prince that when he could produce royal heir then she would make him stand first in line ahead of Prince Charles. Though this new may trouble Prince Charles but he will be the person of a kind who is able to adjust with your developments. There are some decent brands and makers of speakers in all prices. The quality is going to be distinctly different in lower price tags compared to the high end. I have a preference for Bose speakers. I find the sound manufactured by these speakers is superior to other similar products and am perfectly prepared to give the price that comes along with this sort of quality. That being said, I have had the occasion to locate some excellent bargains on Bose multichannel audio systems previously quite unintentionally. If I can find those bargains (some only $500 for the set, that is a bargain the fact that the fact a few of their sets start at $2,000) if not actively searching for a bargain, it is quite possible to acquire a great price when you are seeking that. It was exactly the same in the time of Van Gogh, albeit there was no computers to duplicate a graphic and send it virally through the internet. And therein is the rub, don't you find it? If you want your fundraiser and other notable event to get original, you can't depend upon stock photos from an online bin, is it possible to? The difficulty is finding a painter, communicating what you look for (knowing), and hoping they are able to produce that unique image for you. At least, it had been difficult so far. As you get at ease the simple chords, you might be more able to appreciate the song along with the emotions required than it. You may even prefer to discover the more difficult songs when you're getting to understand the easy songs you've already mastered. Practice will usually help. Therefore, all you should do is practice executing these simple songs and after that visit more advanced stuff after mastering these. jak odzyskać byłą
