.. .. .. & online portfolio
For a few months now I’ve been thinking deeply on my life as a whole. I’ve been looking at what contributions society has made to my personal development and what contributions I have made to society. Now I feel that I know exactly what I need to do.
I usually don’t like involving religion and my own spiritual journey with my professional work but sometimes the mix cannot be divided or avoided. In Sikhism one of the foundation principles is “Sarbat Da Bhalla” which translates to: “May everyone Prosper“. Deep down that’s also what I’d like to see happen. I feel that in order to bring about this change peace and prosperity all mankind must united and share everything conceivable (love, resources & knowledge).
I’ve been trying to do my bit for this goal (& hoping that I can pay my dues to society) by making some free time and trying to help others in anyway that I can. Right now I’ve got my hands on many different things. For starters I’ve been supporting and guiding other ‘newbie’ web developers with projects. I have also joined a peer mentoring scheme in my borough. The scheme will also allow me to participate in the ‘Summer University‘ that will be happening in a few weeks time. I’m also currently looking at the United Nations Volunteers service to see where I can fit in. You may have earlier also have read my decision to join & help Sikhcess which has recently been setup in the UK. Sikhcess has really taken off in Birmingham but as for the London campaigns I’m not too sure what’s happening.
I’ve also become the co-founder along with Gurpreet Kaur of a non-profit organisation called ‘The Open Sikh Project‘. This organisation aim to share the Sikh principles of Seva (selfless service) & Ekta (oneness) amongst mankind.
Edit: I now know what’s going on with Sikhcess. A flyer is availible here.
Edit 2: The new date has been set as Saturday the 28th of June. The venue will be Shepherds Bush Gurdwara, London. I’ll make a new post nearing the time.
