Got back to India a few days back to take care of multiple family members hit by Covid! It’s worse than one could imagine. The haunting sadness is in every household! Sikhs helping shouldn’t be the exception. EVERY INDIAN SHOULD ADOPT SIKH SEWA/SERVICE VALUES!
12 years at today. Thank you all
(This expression sums it up. Still surprised by the amount of learning that comes my way everyday)

I met near the Iraq-Syria border in 2019 & funded the delivery of a pregnant Iraqi woman/refugee who had just crossed the border from Syria. His ability to leverage Sikh values to benefit everyone & make volunteers join from all over is just incredible!

Kamala Harris is Biden’s VP pick. India will proclaim her as Indian origin but she does not identify as Indian. She identifies as Black since she grew up in a Black neighborhood. Her mom was from Chennai, dad from Jamaica. Nevertheless, she could be the 1st Indian origin U.S. VP!

Shocked at the lack of coverage by the American media on this appalling and draconian rule by the U.S.. Uncertainty, anxiety and distress for students. Why should students suffer? HOW DOES A GOVT. DO THIS TO STUDENTS, most of whom are CHILDREN, and that too at a time like this???

For the last few days and hours my grand mother and I are caught in a battle. She wants to take off her Oxygen mask (unknowingly and semi-consciously) & I want her to keep it on —to keep her Oxygen levels at 90 plus. When she takes it off it goes down to 70s. So far, I’m winning!
Getting so many calls of distress from friends in India not able to find hospital beds, ICUs, and medicines, shocked at the Kumbh mela, where thousands gathered without social distancing or masks. Is there no value for an Indian life because we have such a huge population?
