A little about my recent books
Aroope Akhran da Aks
Composition of ghazals and poetry in open verse. Seerat’s most recent book reflects the mysteriousness of the modern world. He exemplifies the idea that a word’s definition is trapped within the word itself. Demonstrating that it is impossible to interpret the internal thoughts of any creation with words, symbols or metaphors when you try to personify the reflection of nonexistence.
Saij Sullee Te Saleeb

Surat Seerat Te Saraab

Kikkar Kande

A little background
Meri bhatkan da "seerat" taar ke oh mull jayega

Over the years he published seven poetry books, one novel, one short story and a book on Punjabi critics. Professionally, Seerat gravitated towards the teaching profession. He worked as a Professor of Physics over a period of twenty years, primarily at G.G.M. Sc. College in the city of Jammu, India. He worked at world-renowned and prestigious top technology companies like IBM and Iomega. He, later, went on to pursue a management role at USPS. Throughout his life, he continued his passion for poetry and wrote many poems and gazals. With his appetite towards literature combined with his leadership skills, he envisioned and founded a Punjabi literary organization, ‘Punjabi Sahit Sabha California’ (PSSC). This embarked a new era of Punjabi Literature in California w.e.f. 1992. In 2002, he further co-founded a more seasoned organization ‘Vishav Punjabi Sahit Academy, California’. He truly admires his poet peers and the pedigree of talent that surrounds him at ‘Vishav Punjabi Sahit Academy, California’.
