Provide us with an insider’s view into your roots in Punjab?

Our ten gurus continue to inspire my life and work. In particular, the three principles of Naam Japo - meditating upon His name, Kirat Karo - working hard with honesty and for good causes, and Vand Chhako - sharing and caring are integral to who we are as Sikhs.
