This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

English: Division is to divide the numerator in the fraction.
中文:除法是除一个分数里的分子。

There is a Punjab State in India, and there is a Punjab Province in Pakistan.
And they have got the same main language, Punjabi.
The greater Punjab region is the historic homeland of the Sikhs. Unsuprisinly, Sikhs' main language is Punjabi. Take note that the Sikh people have a total population of 27 million globally.
For starters, the Sikh people have the following characterics which interest me particularly:
1. Kesh
And that naturally involves head hair, as well as body hair.
However,

The Sikh woman who stood up to online abuse about her facial hair
2. Kacchera

3. Kirpan

In Sikhism, Kesh (sometimes Kes) is the practice of allowing one's hair to grow naturally as a symbol of respect for the perfection of God's creation.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kesh_%28Sikhism%29

Reasons include simple convenience — avoiding the daily combing and tying — as well as social pressures from the mainstream culture to look like everyone else.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kesh_%28Sikhism%29
