Captivating Smokescreen: My Perspective As A Sikh
Decades ago, a family friend gave me a birthday gift, a beautifully painted doll, made out of wood. I soon found out that it was, in fact, three dolls packed as one! Wow! As a young child, it was no less than a magic for me. My friends and I could play with the same […]
Innocence Shattered In The Human Jungle: My Perspective As A Sikh
I am sharing a very emotional post today, and so I’ll dive in without elaborate prefatory introductions.The crime I am going to describe in this article is so chilling that it kills humanity on so many levels.While Panjab is drowning under the man-created floods in the Indian occupied territory, vultures in different guises are already […]
From Your Lips To God’s Ears: A Perspective As A Sikh
Till a prayer is merely a ritual of reciting a prescribed religious syllabus, it remains a wishy-washy, wishful thinking. Until a prayer is motivated by a self-centred, obstinate wish, it remains an illusion. Till a prayer is used as a mirror for a blind passion, it remains a delusion.Unfortunately, most of us misdefine prayer and […]
When The Fountain Of Life Drowns: A Perspective As A Sikh
Not the first time water has been used as a weapon against the Sikh community, which vastly comprises farmers and landowners, implying that water is literally their lifeline.

Encompassed In A Nut-Shell: Perspective By Angus Scott
The attached podcast features a UK-based reporter who, despite being a non-Sikh, presents an analysis of Sikh history, politics, and current issues with striking clarity. Angus’s discussion with a correspondent from the USA provides such lucid insight into the subject matter that many within the Sikh community itself might not be able to express. This […]
The Confluence Of My Soul : My Perspective As A Sikh
Sometimes we wake on our left, sometimes on our right, and some mornings we feel hopeful and upbeat, while on other days we wake up anxious about what lies ahead or even about the unknown. I am blessed at the domestic front, then what could be the reason for downcast at times, I wondered?I believe […]
Touring To Connect: My Perspective As A Sikh
I was taking a short break away from my keyboard to interact with society elsewhere with divergent languages, foods, and social systems, yet mirroring the generic human race.I visited the beautiful city of Lisbon in Portugal with my hubby for a few days. Although this was my third visit to the country, it was my […]
Never Cease To Fight For Peace: My Perspective As A Sikh
Today’s thought is based on a Shlok (verse) from Sikh scriptures, giving impetus to the philosophy of the balanced power of temporal and spiritual forces, known as Miri-Piri. (For reference, I’ve written extensively on this concept separately in the previous articles.)The shalok says: ‘Raaj Bina Na Dharam Chaleh Hai; Dharam Bina Sabh Daley Maley Hai’.It […]
