If you wondered what Punjabi pop star Pammi Bai looked like, you may have looked up his web site. It has pictures, videos, and music. I will embed his turban-boosting song "Pagg Patiala" here. It seems to be Bhangra -- a rhythmic type of music which is also somewhat popular in London.

Here you can read a little background information about turbans. It's actually very long. Also, did you know that the Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh, is a member of the Sihk religion?
The Karen of Thailand, Burma, and nearby areas are also known as Kayan. In order to see some pictures of Kayan, please visit Flickr photos from Mae Hong Son, Thailand tagged with Kayan.
The grammar of newspaper headlines is not like ordinary English grammar. You can read more about it here or here.
