Dear Friend,
My name is Nirmal Singh Kandhalvi.I was born and brought up at Kandhala Jattan. In 1977, I migrated to the UK. I was overjoyed to see your blog. It is a marvellous thing to do. Lately, I visited the Pind in February 2010. I love to go there.There were times I used to go unannounced.
Though, I have been living in England for over three decades but I always dream about my village. I bow my head to our teachers ie Mela Singh Head Master of Primary school, Headmaster Lal Singh, Panjabi teacher Giani Lal Singh, Hindi teacher Pyare Lal, Drawing teacher Niranjan Singh and so on, whose hard work made us able to teach the English people. I am indebted to my teachers. I still remember that how Giani Lal Singh made me a good speaker, by removing all nervousness from my mind.
In my opinion, groupism in every village has done a huge damage, our Pind is not an exception. I still think, if the people of our village get united, then all the NRIs living abroad from this village can change the whole map of the village especially the Chhappar is a curse for the Pind.
I make a humble request to Baba Bishan Singh Ji to give this strenghth to the people of Kandhala Jattan to sit together and think about the betterment of the Pind.
Keep up the good work

Nirmal Singh Kandhalvi

BABA BISHAN SINGH BARSI 2010

Last Basri of Baba Bishan Singh was celebrated with traditional devotion and reverence. There were 12 Akhand Paths going on simultaneously and it all culminated on 29 October 2010. Langar was served and at night Diwan was organised where Ragis, Dhadi and Kavishar Jathas participated. Though Hazoori Ragi Sarabjit Singh was mentioned in leaflets, but he was not present. Instead another young Hazoori Raagi came. Seating arrangements for public were not comfortable and there was not much attendance at night Diwan. Audio system was also not upto the mark. In fact recollecting old times when there was too much of JOSH in natives for the occasion - was somewhat lacking. Number of NRIs were present. Of late too much has been wasted in pump and show and display of wealth rather than showing reverence to the Eternal Guru. Gone are the days when people used to rush to Gurduwara when recital of Salok of Bhagat Kabir and Baba Frid began before Bhog of Akhand Path and sit for long hours listening to Gurbani.
