@KlapkaAdam and @devinjcooley can add Punjabi to the list of languages they know now! 😂
Fun video for #Flames TV Punjabi ahead of the @NHLFlames third annual South Asian Celebration Night tomorrow 🔥
TEAM USA celebrating with MAGA admin in the locker room is why it’s depressing to lose this game. It’s vile watching people who normalize bigotry and hate celebrating a victory in a tournament meant to symbolize sportsmanship & peace across borders
a girl on tiktok said “healing is so hard because it is a constant battle between your inner child who is scared and just wants safety.... your inner teenager who is angry and just wants justice.... and your current self-who is tired and just wants peace." and it hits me hard.
ਸਬਰ . Sabar | ਸ਼ੁਕਰ . Shukar | ਸਕੂਨ . Sukoon | ਸਿਦਕ . Sidak | ਸੰਤੋਖ . Santokh
Five anchors that kept me from drowning when the waves hit hardest.
ਸਬਰ | Sabar - storms don’t respond to panic - only patience. That not every battle needs to be won today, and that some victories come quietly, in the silence of endurance.
ਸ਼ੁਕਰ | Shukar - be grateful for what’s left, not what’s lost. Gratitude became my rebellion - a way to tell life: “You can strip me bare, but I will still see beauty in what remains.”
ਸਕੂਨ | Sukoon - does not mean the absence of chaos - it means calm inside the chaos. The kind you find when you stop wrestling with the tide and let your faith keep you afloat.
ਸਿਦਕ | Sidak - unshakable trust - the bridge between all others. Trust in God’s timing. Trust that pain isn’t random, but a sculptor shaping you into who you need to be.
ਸੰਤੋਖ | Santokh - contentment - not every desire needs to be fulfilled to feel full. That sometimes, peace is not in having more, but in wanting less.
Recently, life tested me in ways I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Doors slammed. People I trusted vanished. Plans I had built for years collapsed overnight. I had every reason to rage, curse, and break.
But instead -
I waited (Sabar / ਸਬਰ).
I thanked (Shukar / ਸ਼ੁਕਰ).
I breathed (Sukoon / ਸਕੂਨ).
I believed (Sidak / ਸਿਦਕ).
I rested in enough (Santokh / ਸੰਤੋਖ).
And slowly, life shifted. Not because the storm passed - but because I stopped letting it own me.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is not fight the storm… but trust the One who sent it.
Love and Peace
Saint Soldier 🙏
In a recent episode of CBC’s Power and Politics, political strategists from across the spectrum made it clear: this is no longer just a Sikh issue - this is a Canadian issue.
Melanie Richer of Earnscliffe Strategies said it best: “Right is right and wrong is wrong. This is a dangerous precedent to set and a dangerous message to send to Canadians.” She called out the double standards and silence surrounding foreign interference - interference that targets Sikh voices and undermines Canada’s democratic institutions.
Fred DeLoray from NorthStar Public Affairs pushed the conversation further: “This is Outrageous!” We talk about sovereignty in our Country. What does sovereignty mean in this Country, if we don’t enforce our own rules?”
It’s time we all ask ourselves that same question.
