    jins

    You would Faizan! You would man! lol. Not that wikipedia is a super reliable source or anything, but your link says "In several verses in those Arabic and Persian translations, the words: Jinn (جن) Jann (الجان) Majnoon (مجنون) and Iblis (ابلیس) are mentioned as translations of familiar spirit...

    Great performance boys! What's the song at around 2:48? Sounds like Harleen's voice to me. ~ Basim :) Nvm: It was "Leja Kite Door" like I thought, just sounded different mixed in. lol.

    Prize money between overall &category winner. Your thoughts?

    +1 - Mariam is a smart girl. If you really need to choose an overall winner, I would do it based on crowd reaction or something that's not limited to one particular style of dance. My two cents, ~ Basim :)

    Dhol Shop Near Ny

    Oh, you're quite far from Toronto man. I wouldn't drive out there unless you know people there (friends, friends, etc) because a 4-6 hour commute one way + the time it's gonna take you test out the different dhols = you definitely need a place to crash at night ;) If you have to pay for a...

    Dhol Shop Near Ny

    Okay I'm not a dholi either :P but... I have a friend who owns this one: http://www.kalakendar.com/products/Bhangra-Dhol.html It's a great quality dhol for beginners. It's a bit heavy, but it has solid construction and has deep dagga sound. If you're still learning and want to improve your...

    Dhol Shop Near Ny

    I'm not from Toronto, but I've visted a few times. You can check out Kala Kendar on Gerrard Steet for some high quality dhols (amongst other instruments). They may be a bit pricey, but from what I know, it's worth it. Here is their address and other information...

    Vaisakhi 2011 Indianapolis

    I hope this competition/event flops just due to the lack of professionalism & information combined. If you're throwing a legit competition, post more information to the public and don't just say "e-mail us to find out more" or "check out website for everything." You're trying to get US to your...

    Same for me bro! Hopefully Saleem & Swi will look into the issue soon; I'm sure it's something minor. ~ Basim :)

    PCBCA @ Sher Punjab De

    Manjot! :-* A very good performance guys. The syncronization and fluidity of your moves is really what sets you apart from other "traditional" music teams out there. I liked most of the formations in that you were still able to see every dancer and not hide anyone in the background. If...

    UPDATE: PUNJABI LOOPS PACKAGE 2011

    Karan, Download a torrent application, such as Vuze aka "Azurues" (http://azureus.sourceforge.net/). If you don't like this one, there are tons of other ones out there. Once you install Vuze, just drag the .torrent file (that "weird" file) into the program. If there are seeders (people sharing...

    bose companion 5 vs logitech z-5500

    People seem to forget that the Z-5500 is a PC gaming system, not a home theater system (even though many people use it as one, since it has the ability). Logitech doesn't even compete with Bose in home theater systems, so you're comparing apples to oranges. Go visit avsforum if you care about...
