Sorry for the quality of the videos as it was taken from a digital camera. The videos were taken from the Kaurageous event from Aston University event with Pardip Singh doing the first presentation. The question the group had to answer was "What is considered beautiful in a gursikh female?".
The second video is the female group answering the same question with Kuldeep Singh giving some input. Again sorry for the sound quality when the camera moves.
