Cosmeticians are making up the cast, many of whom are part-timers. One of them moans, "Right now I'm cutting vegetables for salads and soups and I just can't handle...
...Sikhism must direct both their lifestyles and "consciousness" to the faith. In addition to mediating regularly, Sikhs abstain from tobacco, alcohol, meat, and sex out of marriage. Each wears a kesh, a turban around unshorn hair, as a "crown of spirituality;" a kathera, or special cotton underwear, to "remind" him of his chastity; and a kara, or bangle, to signify commitment to truth and freedom from life's "entanglements."
