Documentary On El Sabrante Ggurdwara



One of my great friends who has come close to me in the last decade is Dr JP Singh who has immense passion for doing service for the Sikh community for last many decades. one of the recent projects he has undertaken is making a Documentary on El Sabrante Gurdwara Sahih. Right from the conceptual stage to present, he has worked hard to collect various materials in the form of pictures, videography and oral history.
He has already completed a rough sketch of the Documentary and requested me for Shivpreet's help in giving a background music. SO he came along with his two team members Mr Prithvi and Mr Gill to show us the movie for our comments

Dr JP Singh


The discussion on the evolvement of documentary prolonged more than the time period originally scheduled for.

Dr J P Singh gentleman as he is, sent me a beautiful note for thanking me and Shivpreet for critical comments on which he is glad to move on.

Gobind, Nihal, Saheb and Jania Attend 'Camp 1469' June 2016


The Unique retreat for youth of ages between 7-15 years was held from June 15th to June 19th 2016 in the Bay Area at Half Moon Bay. It was attended by kids coming all the way from San Diego, Sacramento and other local distant places. The camp focussed on Seva, Simran & Sangat combined with fun all the time.

Gobind and Jania were dropped by Shiv and Shilpy and were joined by Nihal and Saheb and Gurparsad from Sacramento.

Hardeep and Leena volunteered and supervised the kids for three nights. Heer was the biggest attraction of the girl kids. Jania had a fun of her life time to take away Heer to play with from Leena Bua on every break.

Kids had reall gala time during their stay at the camp.

Thanks to the organisors  for the tremendous efforts made to run the show successfully and above all smoothly.

Thanks Leena for providing some pictures and watching the kids.
