A look back at 2005… 3

I was reading the Brampton Guardian, and one of columns was a writer, Tom Brown, reflecting back on the year that was 2005, based on columns he had written, since memory seems to only remember the last few events. So I figured I’d do the same, but using my blog (msn space) as a reference [...]

Day 4..That's all folks… Comments Off

So today marked the final day of the ball camp. Seemed like the kids all had fun, and a continuous flow of youth kept coming in, with each day having more then the last. Some would consider that an organizers nightmare, but not the organizers behind this event; they were more like water, and knew [...]

Coach Shinda…I mean Assistant Comments Off

As you all should know by now, today was day 2 of the COSS – Basketball Camp. There’s about 30-35 kids, which although may seem like a small group, is relatively large when you look at the size of the gym and the amount of time set for the camp. Its also not bad considering [...]

A look at the ball camp… Comments Off

Originally it was supposed to be both a ball and stick hockey thing, but then due to the nature of the break, it was hard to [...]

A new trend or argument that’s been developing is that the Damdami Taksal of today, does not have the [...]

Programs were held by the various Sangats around the world. The program we did in Toronto went smoothly and the Keertan was good, but the [...]

The political mess… 3

I came back home to Brampton Wednesday night, and after a few days of settling in and checking up with everyone, its time to let the fact that an election is taking place settle in. For the most part this election seems quite tame, espiecially in contrast to those of the past. Driving around I’ve [...]
