healing . It’s been 2 years now, since my dad passed away. With his passing, my desire to write and share also went. Sometimes I feel like my writing started with him and ended with him. I still have the odd moment where I feel like writing, but it’s not like it once was and to be honest, I’m totally fine with it. Writing for me is a coping mechanism, a therapy and an escape. Perhaps at this point in my life I don’t need that. Maybe, I’ll write more poetry in the future, maybe I’ll start blogging again. Maybe, maybe... For now, I want to acknowledge, just how much I miss my dad. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about him and want him here. .

screaming in silence . It’s crunch time! We need to make our move and make the change. Too long have we sat silent as the noisy minority did as they pleased. Now the silent majority need to speak up and stand up for themselves. There are tough times ahead but only together, in unity can we affect change and change in a positive way. Speak up before you lose your voice, before it’s too late, before you’re left with no choice! .

self-ish . It’s easy to say “I love you”, it’s a lot harder to love. How can you love another, when you cannot love yourself? Learn to fall in love with yourself, before you fall for someone else. Give yourself all of your love. Once you are full of love, then give the extra to someone else. If you can’t love you, how can you truly love someone else?! .

change within . These days it seems like everyone is on a crusade. To make their mark and change the world. Yet the very same people are unable to change themselves. Change has to come from within and it has to be for the right reasons. Not for fame, likes or gratification. But for you to be better. To do better. So be the change, but first be the change for you. .

bonsai master . Today I got to meet Peter Chan from Herons Bonsai, a true master in Bonsai! He also took time out of his busy day to help me learn the art of bonsai. Here are a few pics from the day. . If you are ever down in London, please do come see his Bonsai Tree Nursery in Surrey. .

judgement . Too often these days I see posts of people expressing themselves only to be judged and condemned by others. These people appoint themselves judge, jury and executioner and cause great harm to others. This especially happens in religion. Lots of people think they have a monopoly on God. That only they know how to be a good Sikh. And in turn that allows them to judge others on their relationship with God. It baffles me that these same high and mighty people judge others. Yet will not look inward and look at their own actions and how they live. This happens more often than not to women. They condemn and judge them for how they dress or act. That they should wear this and not do that etc. Yet it is these same men who expect a woman to dress a certain way for them. I think they need to take a look at themselves. Who gave you the right to be this way?! I try my utmost to only concern myself with my relationship with God and with others. It’s between me and God and no one else. And yes I get that people will say someone is damaging the image of Sikhs etc but I believe God has that under control and I need to focus on being better. So people please, look at yourself. Better yourself and try not to concern yourself with what others wear or do. Look into yourself and ask, could you be a better Sikh? Could you be a better person?! .

glorious nosebleed . I’d never truly known grief until I lost my dad. I’d never thought about death until then either. I’d never stressed over anything. I’d never even worried about anything. I used to be carefree. I used to be able to enjoy the moment. After my father’s passing all that changed. I realised my own mortality and what a sobering thought that was. To know it could all end at any moment. Without warning, life can change and completely turn your world upside down. Well that’s what happened to me. To keep this brief, we all must find a way to deal with our emotions and thoughts. For if we don’t, they will manifest in physical pain and eat away at you, until you self destruct. Seek help! Talk to someone, do whatever you need to, in order to ease your burden. Reach out and know you’re not alone. .

you . I have never been comfortable in crowded rooms. I have always felt like someone’s gaze is judging me. And I know, I shouldn’t let it bother me, or care what they think. The thing is I don’t care but I just don’t like putting myself in that situation. I don’t like feeling lonely, but there are days I prefer to be alone. Or more to the point, I prefer the company of people I like. To be honest, the list of people I like and more to the point will tolerate isn’t ver long. I’m not a people person. However this isn’t a post to moan. It’s a post to acknowledge those that feel the same. To say it’s okay to not be a social person. It’s okay to enjoy your own company. It’s okay to be happy in your own skin and do what you like to do, for you. Enjoy yourself more this year. Do more for you and only you. Put yourself first and make your own happiness. . . .

scotland’s next top model . It’s often I get dressed up but for your wedding I feel it’s a requirement. Although I’m sure my wife will remind me that I did protest a little at all the fuss. In the end, the boy did good huh? I mean, I think I scrub up well! I’ll be honest I’ve done a little modelling and I am not comfortable in front of the camera. I prefer to be behind it, or being the guy somewhere else. It’s not natural for me and it feels weird. I can’t even tell you the amount of times the photographers told me to smile. I don’t smile at the best of times. So it’s certainly not easy on demand. Alas, I did it and some of the shots turned out amazing! Although always paling in comparison to my gorgeous wife. I’ll keep posting more pics for you all to enjoy! .

king & queen . It’s not often you meet someone that you fall for immediately. Someone that’s totally different from you but at the same time, they get you. That’s what I’ve found. A love that transcends cultural differences, mindsets, borders and languages. I am truly grateful to have met my soulmate. My counterpoint in life, the one that gives me balance. .
