For #Sikhs worldwide, #June1984 is indelibly marked as a reminder of one of the many wounds from our collective history. My poem "That Dark Dawn" from my book #OnWingsofWords urges why we should #NeverForget1984 and recalls chardi kalah despite the legacy of wounded histories.

Love your English teachers!
After he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957, Albert Camus wrote a letter of thanks to his favorite childhood teacher, whom he'd never forgotten. It's beautiful.
How do we sell this world to our children? This poem by Maggie Smith is so thoughtful. #poetrylovers

Watch out for the pied pipers playing those attractive tunes; they may drive you away from your goals and ethical principles. Don't get fooled by their flashy, shimmery attire and seductive voices. Trust your inner voice & think deeply before you blindly follow them. #thinking
