'Tashan-E-Ishq' and What It Means For TwiNj - Page 2

ok so just looked over my previous comment, and boy i went on a tangent and was incoherent as well. plz do excuse that.

Sikhism as a culture has been raised to be really proud of themselves. I don't know how much you know about the Sikh history, but there has been a LOT of bloodshed. So many sacrifices have been made by our Gurus because of their strong beliefs and values. The torture and inhumane manner in which they have been murdered is absolutely horrifying. I feel it's because of this horrific past, we have been raised to be not depressed or feel pity for ourselves. But rather to be proud and feel honor in the sacrifices that have been made. To walk with our heads held high, feeling confident in everything that we do and not back down from a challenge.

yes i know about Sikh history and the faith, so no worries, I understand all your referencing to. I completely agree with your connection on Sikhs being raised as such because of the background of Sikhi and all the sacrifices made. Its very much true I feel, that imbibing pride and honor comes from that. Also remembering and respecting all who sacrificed as well, is of great importance in Sikhi, and is mentioned in the religious scriptures as well.

I think the idea of spending lavishly is not to be tied down to materialistic things. Money is merely a tool in which we can buy commodities to please ourselves temporarily. The true inner peace and happiness is supposed to come from the companionship with our friends and families and most importantly from reading the Gurbani. 👍🏼 well said. totally true from the spiritual/religious perspective. i relate to what you stated. the lavish concept is more of a stereotype for the Punjabi community as a whole in general, and it is just a generalization that doesn't apply to everyone, but is just how most people perceive Punjabis to be- big hearted maybe describes it better.

See, as a person, I am incredibly shy until you get to know me. I keep to myself and only talk when it is needed. But when I do talk, there is so much that I have to say. As you may noticed I have generally presented myself as this "professional" writer and an insightful analytic. But today I did break down those walls and presented the crazy,jhalli side to me. 😆

yes i noticed😛😆 its nice to se that side :) and its great to be yourself and talk/write as however is comfortable :) In this regard, Sikhs can be quiet, timid or shy, but they are most well known for their loud and outspoken personality. They have even often been called the "life of the party" and yes I'm being biased here, I find this to be true. 😆We really are different.yes, and though some Punjabi stereotypes hold true for most, everyone is not alike. at the end of the day, everyone is an individual, and unique.

Mast mahol mein rehna, hamesha haaste gaate rehna, it's all true for us.

I'm actually reminded of this one Daler Mehndi song, maybe you've heard of it. It's going something like, "Saade nal raho ge toh aish karoge, Zindagi de saare cash karoge". heard of that song? i love that song 😆Punjabi old school songs ftw!😎

Gosh, that actually brought back so many memories. <3

Gurleen first thanks a lot for awesome analysis. You completely nailed. Hats off to you 🤗 Everything you wrote made sense to me. and lots of other things that i watched on fhis show now seems so relevant. Battle of love. very nice. TwiNj decleared Battle. This battle will get them their desired love. i didnt know lots of sikhs culture. being non punjabi i used to think Leela Anita competing, is that really exists. but after your post it makes sense. i saw lots of shows with punjabi/sikh background but i guess this show is getting most of its culture correct. from daily mentions of/visiting gurudwara guruji to most of its culture n sikhs life styles etc. now all thse makes sense to me not just title so thanks a lot for wonderful post again 🤗 you are a great analyst

I'm so sorry. :( I had to copy and paste my comment at least six times before it went through. My internet kept crashing and I didn't want to write it all out again because if I lost it, I was going to be majorly pissed off. 🤬

LOL, don't worry. I didn't mind it at all. 😆

Okay, that's good to know. I wasn't sure if I was to go into another tangent to give specific examples. 🤔😆

Big hearted is the key word here. When I look within my own family, and even myself, I can proudly say that as Sikhs we give. We give, give and give without expecting anything in return. Acting out of compassion without any selfish motives behind it is one of the most people thing about human existence. Living out of basic humanity and loving for the sake of loving.

yes i noticed😛😆 its nice to se that side :) and its great to be yourself and talk/write as however is comfortable :)

As I'm going over this, I see now how I'm going on a tangent as well. So I guess we're even. 😆

yes, and though some Punjabi stereotypes hold true for most, everyone is not alike. at the end of the day, everyone is an individual, and unique.

Yup, but there are times where I feel like because I'm opposite of the stereotypical Punjabi, I'm not Sikh enough? I mean, I'm not that loud, I keep to myself etc. So there are times where I feel like I don't really identify with being a Punjabi.

heard of that song? i love that song 😆Punjabi old school songs ftw!😎

Loll, I'm just amazed at how different the songs back then used to be. I mean just look at what we have now. There's only a handful of good quality material being released.

It definitely is unique in the sense of its portrayal of the friends-hate-love story. So many shows have used the similar overall theme to present the main leads to be at logger heads with each other, but I feel like never in the same manner as they are showing it with TwiNj and everyone else. Every single character has its own motive for acting in a certain way and their personalities have been fleshed out really well to stand apart from each other. Especially the women. I am in awe with how they been written out.

Gurleen thank u on the point of tei.. I agree that the presentation of the lead is unique to this show., they did not start off fighting and hating each other and then feel the attraction .. Nope they were friends, buddies to help the other unite with the one they loved and began to care about the other.,. Now a mu has caused a rift that they claim is serious but thankfully doesn't play out that way and THAT is why I love this show ,. No OTT hero who thinks the world revolves around him or weak know it all heroine.
