Please wake up my child, it's before dawn.
Let me sleep, Mom.
No son, you are now Baptised. You are Khalsa, you should wake up at Amrit Vela (before dawn).
Look mom, I am awake.
Very good, my child.
Now get up fast, take bath, then we are to go to Fatehgarh Sahib.
Sure Mom.
Hey mom, I want to tie a turban like yours.
Sure, my child.
This turban is a priceless gift for us from Sri Gobind Singh Sahib Ji.
Now hurry and get your favourite color of turban.
Mom, where are these guys going?
No doubt, they are also going to Fatehgarh Sahib's Jor Mel but,
these innocent boys don't know the motive of going there.
Hey! What happened? Why did you stop?
Bro! No more gas in the tank.
O come on bro, we're getting late.
You should have checked your gas before leaving.
I am sorry bro! I forgot to check.
How could he remember, he was busy chatting with his girlfriend.
You should sell this stupid *** (Bike), it's of no use.
It's not a *** bro, it's my darling... I love it.
Haha... it's just a piece of headache. Everytime it stops mid-way.
What happened bro, be fast.
Bro, his gas tank is empty, that's why we have stopped here.
No worries my children, stop fighting with each other,
and if you don't mind, may I know where are you going?
We are going at the Festival, Auntie
We thought of having free food there, and will have fun wandering around.
By the way, it's not just a Mela, it's a Jor Mela (Significant Celebration), in remembrance of Sahibzada's, who sacrificed their lives for us.
Sorry Auntie, we didn't know anything about this. We just thought to go and enjoy there.
Thank GOD, you have courage to speak the Truth.
Auntie, is it possible for you to tell us the history of this Jor Mela?
Sure, but I request you to come with us by foot.
"Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji and Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji got ready with Kalgi's (plumes) on their turbans."
"They also wore Sri Sahib (Kirpan) with a strap."
"Moti Ram Mehra, who secretly brings milk for the kids, cried to see the situation."
"Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji and Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji, got ready to welcome death."
"The little kids, refused the money, gifts, and honors offered by Aurangzeb the Emperor."
"The little kids, refused the money, gifts, and honors offered by Aurangzeb the Emperor."
"They were ready to die but were not willing to change their religion."
"Sucha Nand started preparing bricks and mortar."
"The sweet little kids of 7 and 9 years of age, were bricked alive in a wall."
"Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji and Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji, accepted death and became Martyrs."
Hey mom, I want to tie turban like yours.
Today this Holy Fair has been limited to snacks and roaming around,
instead of paying our tribute to the Martyrs.
We should not be competing with each other who looks best,
rather we should remember GOD and be thankful what he has blessed us with.
