So Gervs, if we could come to you next and get your sort of perspective from a kind of Sikh point of view on what this time of year means religiously, but also for you personally, culturally, you know, again, sort of memories growing up and what you kind of cherish about those and it's changed much over time at all and how you see this time of year.

11:15Gurpreet ChahalGUEST
So this time of year is significant for Sikhs in terms of Vaisakhi because it's sort of the most important festival.
G
11:22Gurpreet ChahalGUEST
So although the Sikh religion started in the late sort of 15th century and it was originated by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Vaisakhi is the birth of the Khalsa.

11:35Gurpreet ChahalGUEST
And it's really a moment where the foundations of the faith were sort of solidified into a living and breathing community.
G
11:44Gurpreet ChahalGUEST
So Vaisakhi itself is, it's probably has roots long before Sikhism because it's known as sort of the harvest festival as well.
G
11:51Gurpreet ChahalGUEST
So, you know, sort of 13th, 14th of April in the Punjab, but in 1699 under the leadership of the 10th Sikh Guru.
