Sikh Genocide in 1984

"In the tragic events, all Sikhs were marked for extermination. Some survived through bravery, while others merely by chance. The wealthy were targeted for their riches and silenced to erase evidence, while the poor lacked means to escape the sudden orchestrated assaults by those in power, aided by thugs in leadership and the public. The government itself turned against its own citizens, utilizing its machinery to facilitate the atrocities. Hence, it wasn't mere communal violence but a deliberate genocide."

Gobind Graduates from Elementary School

In 2014, Gobind joyously celebrated his graduation from Live Oaks Elementary School, marking a historic moment as part of the inaugural graduating class from this esteemed institution in San Ramon, California. Surrounded by classmates, teachers, and proud family members, 




Gobind's achievement symbolized the beginning of a new chapter, not only for himself but also for the school, which had now firmly established its place in the community's educational landscape.

The ceremony was likely filled with nostalgic reflections, heartfelt speeches, and anticipatory excitement for the future, as Gobind and his peers embarked on their educational journey beyond elementary school.

Gold Dust Or Bust; a Musical Play by Geet friends of 4th/5th Graders

'Gold Rush Or Bust' presents the highlights of the great stampede of 49ers to the California goldfields. From Sutter's Mill to Mad Mule Gulch, Sacramento to Fiddletown, the land's gone nuts with Gold Fever. Guiding us on our tour is the remarkable Luzena Wilson (Geet played this character)---wife, professional cook, innkeeper, commodities gambler, banker, and founder of a city. Whether you set your wagon on the Overland Trail, sail across Cape Horn, or wade across the swamps of Panama, get yourself to the mother lode, where tents turn into jeans, a dozen eggs cost ten dollars, and the mud's so deep the cows disappear.




We got an invitation for our Grand daughter Geet to come to her Live Oak Elementary School to see her show 'Gold Dost Or Bust'. She tossed the green paper invitation in our room and ran away for the school.
