Just put the pagg on your shoulder next time, its easier to tie cause you walk around with it. And heros, calm down about pagg on the floor. People learn don't have to write essays on it.

Thanks for the video! I'd really appreciate a front-turla video as well...and I have a special request, if you don't mind when you make the video :p Could you please pay particular attention (explanation & video-wise) to the tucking-in of the last larh, tucking-in of the turla, and the shaping of the turla? Those seem to be key points missing in many of the pagh-tying videos I have downloaded. It'd help SO much if teams got the chance to properly see AND hear (in English) those crucial parts of tying a bhangra front-turla pagh. Please & thank you very much.
Hey Bud!

I was practicing my front turla pagh just yesterday and in my opinion it isn't nice enough to make a tutorial video yet. I personally have problems related to tucking in the turla, etc. I'm going to keep practicing and once I feel it's nice enough and I am good enough to teach I will definitely make that video and pay special attention to those areas...just for you! =)

Until then...practice I shall. Glad this is helping so many people!

Happy Living all!

u improvedd:D and for da people talkikng about da pagh on the floor. Personally i do the same thing... i've tried tying paghs while there in sumones hand or if sumones holding em, it doesnt work out for me da pagh turns out soo messy, so i tend to drag it on da floor as we'll, no disrespect to the pagh its just cuz it turns out cleaner...
LOL thanks hun! Me too man...I try so hard not to let it touch the floor...I'm like trying to pull a matrix and prevent it at all costs...but sometimes it does hit the ground..hopefully I get better and be a superstar like you! =)

...but in regards to the putting the paggan on the floor, I think it's only disrespectful once the paghs are tied (aka all the larhs are done, and it obviously looks like a pagh), no?...before it's tied, it's just a piece of cloth. It's the process and meaning behind actually tying the pagh's shape and wearing it that allows it to earn the respect we give it. There is even a Punjabi parable about this concept...I can't recall the name.

However, I could obviously be wrong...and I'm open to more enlightenment :)
Pagg is a Pagg. (aka Pagg) . . . so you're trying to say is this that pagg shouldn't be called a pagg until its properly done? right? or such as, "until all the larrhs r complete N' it looks like a pagg"(interesting ??? ) . . . never really thought of that, Mate. but here me out for a minute or so, ahem . . . Do pregnant womens still take care of their unborn child when its still in their "womb" or they really don't have to cos its not really a child yet? :eek: they shouldn't right? cos its "in the process" :) i mean they don't really have to go to doctor or take any medicine right? i don't think they should cos it's not out yet!!! 8) like you said "it's just a piece of cloth" cos it doesn't really look like a shape of the "pagg" . . . so something thats in process shouldn't be respected, right? thats what you r saying . . . if i'm wrong, do correct me, cos anything that relates to pagg doesn't harm me but people like you who have no knowledge of pagg watsoever, does make me feel a bit awkward!!! :mad:


"imagine the bhangra nation do bhangra without the paggs" ;D actually, just imagine yourself, you will totally look like a "doucebag" no joke!!! Why even bother to tie a pagg, dude? i mean come ON!!! why? it's just a cloth to you, right? how about you do this, take like 2 3 of your shirts N' rip em out N' ask you bebey(aka mom) to stitch em all together, so it would look like a long piece of "cloth" to you N' then try tying on your head. Idk, maybe you would start to respect that cos you actually spent shit loads of $$$ on it, right??? i bet you probably do have some good looking shirts!!! so how about it? you gonna do that now? you should dude, it'll be awesome!!! anyways, you're weird!!! before i get my punjabi on you, i should just take my leave, cos there's no point talking to folks like you!!! you might be famous here in the bhangra world, but to me you're nothing but an 4-5 yr. old who's still learning the basics of "Punjabi Culture". i don't blame you for this dude, i should blame your parents for not teaching you why "paggs is so important to punjabi's" . N' yo, to you, PAGG might be just a piece of "cloth" but to me and others, its our life!!! :-X


Rabb Rakha!!!
relax dude...we all understood the first time that its disrespectful.
people make mistakes...no need for u to go crazy psycho on Lilly and Rajkaran

once again to all the people who feel its just hard not to drag it on the floor especially when you're tieing it over someone else
i repeat once again just as Jabar Jung said -


Throw the pagg over your shoulders sort of like a chunni so you leave alot behind you then there's alot thats in front of you and then that way you're pagg follows you wherever you're going :)
