\"world-turban-day.jpg\"<\/a>\n…and obviously, that is why the bunker’s Malayalee Christian mutineer should post about it. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n

Between Chachaji’s reminder<\/a> and Ismat’s tip to our news tab (which lead me to this adoooorable picture on the left which I stole from Nirali’s<\/a> The Daily<\/em>), I was reminded to show some love to the most visible desis of all– the few, the proud, the hot<\/a>, the turbaned. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n

The point is, with two Sardars in the bunker constantly bickering over who called which color (Ennis is really protective of his pink!) and bragging about whose dari smells best (we lost our impartial judge<\/a>), it is incomprehensible to me that today should pass without commemoration from the mutineers. What could be more punk, more mutinous<\/em> than a turban!<\/p>\n\n

Now, yenjoy these three fast facts about today, as distilled from this BBC article<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n

1) The point of World Turban Day is to foster awareness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

2) “Traditional, hand-tied turbans” > “casual under-turbans and half-turbans”, i.e. don’t half-kundi it. Tie on a proper one, aight?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

3) WTD is celebrated today because it’s the eve of Baisakhi.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Any questions? Kindly post them here<\/a>, because Amardeep<\/a> is better at turban-ing than I shall ever be. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
