Sailing Through Dubai Marina Cruise Experience

Jaspal Singh - 20 September 2023

Dubai, the city of opulence and grandeur, is not only famous for its towering skyscrapers and luxurious shopping malls but also for its breathtaking waterways. One of the most captivating experiences that Dubai offers is a journey aboard a traditional Dubai Marina cruise. I had the privilege of embarking on this enchanting adventure during my educational trip to Dubai, and it was truly a highlight of the visit.

Setting Sail in Dubai: A Cruise Experience

Dubai’s cruises are a testament to the city’s ability to seamlessly blend tradition with modernity. These beautifully crafted wooden vessels have been part of the region’s maritime heritage for centuries. Stepping aboard one of these mini ships is like stepping back in time while enjoying the backdrop of a futuristic cityscape.

A Rainy Day Adds to the Magic

One thing that made my Cruise experience in Dubai even more special was the unexpected rain. Dubai’s desert climate rarely sees rain, and I consider myself fortunate to have witnessed this rarity. We reached the spot, and the rain started. The raindrops falling gently on the deck added a touch of more magical romance to the evening.

The Spectacular Skyline

As the dhow glided along the Arabian waters, the Dubai skyline came into view. The contrast between the traditional dhow and the modern skyscrapers in the background was a sight to behold. The city’s top landmarks, including the iconic Burj Khalifa and the magnificent Palm Jumeirah, looked even more awe-inspiring from the water. It was a wonderful skyline all around with sky-touching buildings.

Entertainment and Gastronomy

The Dubai Marina Cruise was not just about scenic beauty; it was also a feast for the senses. The cruise offered a delightful blend of entertainment, music, dance, and culinary delights. All team members enjoyed clicking pics and making videos. The onboard entertainment showcased the rich culture of the region, with traditional music and dance performances that transported us to another world.

The sumptuous dinner served on the dhow was a gastronomic delight. From traditional Middle Eastern dishes to international cuisine, there was something to tantalize every palate. And of course, the evening wouldn’t be complete without sipping on refreshing drinks while enjoying the cool breeze off the Arabian Gulf.

A Memorable Dubai Experience

My journey on the Dubai Marina Cruise was a captivating blend of tradition, luxury, and modernity. It was a testament to Dubai’s ability to surprise and enchant its visitors with unique experiences. Whether it’s your first time in Dubai or a return visit, a dhow cruise is an experience that should not be missed. It’s a voyage that will leave you with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for this incredible city that seamlessly marries the past and the future. Dubai, with its Marine Cruise and so much more, truly stands as a beacon of wonder in the heart of the Middle East.

The Historical Legacy and Cultural Significance of Gurdwara Nada Sahib

Jaspal Singh - 11 September 2023

Gurdwara Nada Sahib, in the serene town of Panchkula, Panchkula on the bank of the Ghaggar River in Shivalik foothills, is a deeply cherished place for Sikhs. It holds a rich history closely connected to Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru. Let’s explore its historical background, the miracles associated with it, its remarkable architecture, and its role as a pilgrimage destination and center of festivities.

Historical Background

In the early 18th century, Guru Gobind Singh was going through a tough time. The tenth guru halted here while traveling from Paonta Sahib to Anandpur Sahib after the VICTORY in the Battle of Bhangani in 1688. A man from the Lobana caste Nadhu Shah served SHRI GURU GOBIND SINGH JI with great dedication resulting in GURU SAHIB blessing him that this place would be called in his name. Guru ji blessed that people’s wishes will be fulfilled by visiting this place with devotion. Puranmasi day is celebrated every month in this place with great devotion. In appreciation for this assistance and the warm welcome from the local community, Guru Gobind Singh gave his blessings to the place and named it “Nada Sahib.”

Gurdwara Nada Sahib starts live-streaming Gurbani daily from today (11 September, 2023. Telecast to take place in 63 countries through World Punjabi TV, social media page, and YouTube channel of the HSGMC. Gurbani will also be telecast on the social media page and YouTube channel of the HSGMC. However, the rights will remain with the HSGMC.

Significance and Miracles

Gurdwara Nada Sahib is famous for its healing spring, believed to have special powers. The story goes that the water from this spring miraculously healed Guru Gobind Singh’s sick horse, Dilbagh. This remarkable incident deepened the faith of Sikhs in their Guru. The Gurdwara is not just a historical site but a symbol of strong devotion among Sikhs. Guru Gobind Singh’s blessings have made this place profoundly important for Sikhs all around the world.

Architecture and Heritage

The Gurdwara complex today is an architectural wonder, showcasing traditional Sikh design elements. Inside, you’ll find the main prayer hall, a serene holy pond (Sarovar), and a place for Langar. The Gurdwara also houses historical relics and artifacts connected to Guru Gobind Singh, such as a bed and weapons.

Pilgrimage and Festivals

Gurdwara Nada Sahib is a magnet for pilgrims and visitors throughout the year. Devotees come here to find inner peace, offer their prayers, and soak in the spiritual atmosphere that fills the complex. Special celebrations take place at the Gurdwara during Gurpurabs and other significant Sikh festivals. These events include soul-stirring devotional singing (Kirtan), religious processions, and community gatherings, creating an atmosphere of spiritual joy and unity.

Gurdwara Nada Sahib is not just a place; it’s a living testament to the Sikh faith and the blessings of Guru Gobind Singh. Its rich history, coupled with its cultural significance, makes it a vital pilgrimage destination for Sikhs and an attractive place for anyone interested in exploring Sikh heritage and spirituality.

Remembering Des Raj Kali: A Literary Icon and Social Visionary

Jaspal Singh - 29 August 2023

A Journey Rooted in Punjab’s Heartlands

Des Raj Kali’s journey began in Mithapur village, Jalandhar, where he absorbed the influences of Sufi saints and Dalit writers like Lal Singh Dil and Sant Gulab Das. These early experiences laid the foundation for his later work that would captivate hearts across the world. We met first time when he was the resident editor of the magazine section of Dainik Bhaskar at Jalandhar. Since then we have always been in touch, every time discussing some new topic. I always enjoyed his company. He passed away at a very early age of 51, on 27th August 2023. His literary works were celebrated on platforms ranging from the Jaipur Literature Festival (2010) to special sessions at Nottingham Trent University in England, Montpellier University, in France, and Monash University, in Australia, among others.

A Voice for the Unheard: Dalit Narratives Unveiled

Kali’s deep connection to his culturally elite Dalit background allowed him to articulate the struggles, injustices, and aspirations of Dalit life through his novels and short stories. His exploration of anti-caste struggles, culture, and tradition brought these crucial issues to the forefront of literary discourse.

Shanti Parav: Treatise on Peace

Through his bestseller “Shanti Parav,” published by Orient Blackswan, Kali offered a perspective on post-colonial Punjab from a Dalit vantage point. Themes of governance, violence, and peace were deftly woven into the narrative, earning him accolades and recognition.

Ghadar Movement’s Historian: Rediscovering Forgotten Heroes

Kali’s dedication extended beyond fiction as he meticulously documented the history of the Ghadar movement. His books like “Ungauley Nayak” and “Gadri Banta Singh Sanghwal” breathed life into forgotten stories, showcasing his commitment to preserving the legacy of those who fought for freedom.

From Punjab to the World: Global Celebrations

Kali’s impact reached beyond borders as he became a celebrated figure at prominent festivals including the Jaipur Literature Festival and Samanvay Samagam. His engagements with foreign universities fostered connections between diverse communities, highlighting the universality of his themes.

Literary Stewardship and Cinematic Visions

Apart from his written legacy, Kali’s editorial role in “Lakeer” and his directorial endeavor “Kitey Mil Ve Mahi” showcased his multi-faceted talent. His commitment to amplifying marginalized voices through these mediums reinforced his status as a visionary storyteller.

A Living Legacy

While Des Raj Kali’s physical presence may have departed, his impact endures. His words continue to resonate, drawing from the cultural riches of Punjab and the resilience of Dalit narratives. Through his literary prowess, Kali remains an eternal part of Punjab’s cultural fabric, inspiring present and future generations alike.

Kali was running his own YouTube channel BarqtanWebTV, a platform where he discussed caste issues, culture, tradition, Punjab, Punjabi, and Punjabiyat, and human-interest issues. Kali’s office near Jalandhar Doordarshan Kendra remained our sought-after destination, where friends used to meet and discuss many things ranging from life, society, politics, and national and international issues.

Pursuing purpose, making work a gateway to Happiness

Jaspal Singh - 5 August 2023

In the realm of casual conversation, one of my closest friends made a remark that struck a chord deep within me. “You have no interest in work,” she said, and though I knew she wasn’t meant to be hurtful, it left me pondering my path. At almost 57 years old, I have dedicated nearly 28 years of my life as an Overseas Education Consultant, working tirelessly to place Indian students in educational institutions across the globe. Guiding thousands of young minds and contributing to their education and careers has been a source of immense pride and fulfillment for me. Working for happiness can lead to a more fulfilling and content life.

I always held hands & supported ambitious ones

Throughout my journey, I have held the hands of ambitious individuals, supporting them as they adopted the same career path, ultimately witnessing their remarkable success and fulfillment. The satisfaction derived from guiding someone to discover their passion and choose the right path is invaluable. Indeed, the sense of purpose and the knowledge that I have played a pivotal role in shaping lives is beyond measure.

Woking as an Education Consultant, Lawyer & Writer

Prior to immersing myself in the world of education consultancy, I practiced as a lawyer in Jalandhar Court. During my college and court days, I found solace in expressing my thoughts on political and societal issues in Punjab through writing in local newspapers. This passion for writing was not driven by financial gains but by an intrinsic sense of satisfaction that came from voicing my thoughts and opinions. Today I share my views on my online blog writings.

A positive mind is always important

I have always embraced life with a positive outlook, never allowing myself to be consumed by its negative aspects. To me, life is an opportunity to be surrounded by the best people, individuals who exude happiness and embrace success wholeheartedly. This philosophy has guided me through the difficulties of life, allowing me to appreciate the beauty that lies in every experience.

Another dream I wish

The comment made by my close friend may have had the power to pinch me, but it did not deter me from staying true to my values and passions. Instead, it served as a gentle reminder to nurture the fire within me, to keep living and loving life to the fullest, irrespective of age or societal expectations. I refuse to let my passion wane, for it is the driving force behind my aspirations to achieve more and establish a name or even a company in the days to come. I firmly believe that destiny will align itself with my perseverance and unwavering determination. Hoping support of people around.

Life’s journey is an ever-evolving adventure, full of unexpected twists and turns. Each chapter presents new challenges and opportunities, and it is up to us to embrace them with open arms. I have learned that true fulfillment comes not from the number of years we spend in our profession, but from the depth of passion we infuse into our work.

To those who may feel discouraged or uncertain about their own career paths, I implore you to tap into your innermost passions. Find what ignites your soul and drives you to excel, regardless of societal norms or material rewards. Work becomes a labor of love when passion becomes the driving force behind your efforts.

Life’s greatest rewards often come from the intangible joys we experience along the way. The satisfaction that comes from positively impacting lives, guiding others to reach their potential, and contributing to a brighter future is immeasurable. Embrace the power of passion, and you will discover the strength to overcome any obstacles that come your way.

Never too late to pursue your dreams,

It is never too late to pursue your dreams, for age is but a number. Let our lives be a testament to the fact that dedication and perseverance know no bounds. Let us work tirelessly to inspire others to keep their flames of passion burning brightly, long after retirement age beckons. Together, we can create a world where work is not just a means to an end, but a journey of self-discovery, growth, and fulfillment.

So, I urge you, my dear readers, to embark on your own unique journey with unwavering passion and determination. Let your work reflect your true self, and may you find the strength to keep striving until the very end. Let us show the world that a life lived with passion and purpose is a life truly worth living.

Australia on Work Rights for International Students: A Look at the Latest Changes

Jaspal Singh - 24 July 2023

Australia’s international education sector has been experiencing a significant boost in its post-pandemic recovery, thanks to introducing generous policies surrounding in-study and post-study work rights for foreign students. As of July 1, 2023, new rules will come into effect, impacting both the number of hours international students can work while studying and the post-study work rights available to graduates. In this blog, I will delve into the latest changes and explore how they may affect international students studying in Australia.

Reintroduction of Caps on Working While Studying:

Starting in July 2023, the temporary policy that allowed international students to work unlimited hours while studying will end. The new policy will cap the working hours at 48 hours per fortnight (24 hours per week). Although some students express dissatisfaction with this modest increase, the aim is to balance enabling students to support themselves financially and ensuring they can fully focus on their primary purpose of studying in Australia.

Post-Study Work Rights for Select Degrees:

The Australian government has announced extended post-study work rights for graduates with specific degrees linked to labor skills shortages in the country. From July 2023, Bachelor’s graduates will be granted four years of post-study work rights, while Master’s graduates will enjoy five years. This move is expected to address skills shortages in various priority areas, including health, teaching, engineering, and agriculture.

Eligibility and Duration for Post-Study Work Rights:

Students graduating with degrees not on the priority list will have two years of post-study work rights for Bachelor’s degrees and three years for Master’s degrees. However, regardless of their study area, all doctoral graduates will be granted six years of post-study work rights, an increase from the previous four-year limit.

Impact on Australia’s Economy and International Education Sector:

The extended post-study work rights aim to address the skills shortages in various sectors of the Australian economy. By allowing skilled workers to stay longer and contribute to the economy, Australia aims to attract more international students and boost earnings from its education exports. The changes are also expected to make Australia a more attractive study destination, further strengthening the recovery of the international education sector.

Australia’s evolving policies on in-study and post-study work rights reflect the government’s commitment to supporting international students and addressing skills shortages in the country. While the reintroduction of working hours caps may pose challenges for some students, the extended post-study work rights offer promising opportunities for graduates in priority fields. By striking a careful balance, Australia aims to enhance the overall experience of international students and further merge its position as a preferred destination for higher education.

Aussie Dreams: Australian Student Visa for Indian Students

Jaspal Singh - 22 July 2023

This blog is regarding the latest requirements for Australia Study Visa for Indian students. In this blog, I’ll be sharing my experiences as an Education Advisor helping students for over two decades. Throughout my career, I have proudly guided thousands of aspiring students on their academic journeys to Australia. Here are most up-to-date information and insights on studying in Australia, including the latest updates and changes in the education landscape. Whether you are a prospective student or simply curious about the opportunities Down Under, join me on this enriching adventure as we delve into the exciting world of Australian education.

Enroll in a Registered Course:

To be eligible for an Australian student visa, you must enroll in a registered course at an accredited educational institution. Check the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) to ensure your chosen course meets the requirements. To enroll in a registered course under CRICOS for an Australia study visa, you’ll need to Find the courses offered by registered education providers in Australia that interest you. Ensure the course you choose is listed on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). Choose an education provider that offers your desired course and is registered on CRICOS. If your application is accepted, you will receive a Confirmation of Enrollment (CoE) from the education provider. This document is essential for your student visa application.

Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) Requirement:

The GTE requirement assesses your intention to study in Australia temporarily. Prepare a well-written statement explaining your genuine intentions, ties to your home country, and how your chosen course aligns with your career goals. The Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement is an assessment that individuals applying for an Australian student visa must meet. It ensures that visa applicants genuinely intend to stay in Australia temporarily for studying and have no intention to remain in the country indefinitely.

The GTE assessment takes into consideration various factors, including the applicant’s personal circumstances, immigration history, the course of study in Australia, and future prospects after completing the studies. To meet the GTE requirement, applicants need to show a genuine intention to study in Australia, have a clear and realistic study plan, and show that they have sufficient ties to their home country that would compel them to return after their studies.

Financial Capacity while Applying for Australia Study Visa:

To get an Australia study visa (subclass 500), you need to show that you have sufficient financial capacity to cover your tuition fees, living expenses, and other costs while studying in Australia. The Australian Government requires this to ensure that you can support yourself financially during your stay in the country. You show that you have enough funds to cover your course tuition fees for the entire duration of your study program. Same way you need to show that you have sufficient funds to cover your living costs while in Australia. This includes accommodation, food, transportation, and other day-to-day expenses. The funds you declare must genuinely be available to you and not borrowed or got through unsustainable means. You will typically need to provide bank statements, financial institution letters, or any other relevant financial documents as evidence of your financial capacity.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)

Australian student visa holders are required to maintain adequate health insurance coverage throughout their stay. Ensure you have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) from a registered health insurance provider. As an international student studying in Australia, it is a visa requirement to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). OSHC provides health insurance coverage for international students, ensuring that they have access to necessary medical and hospital services while studying in Australia.

OSHC is mandatory for all international students applying for an Australian student visa (subclass 500). You must purchase OSHC for the entire duration of your student visa. It typically covers a range of medical services, including visits to doctors, hospital treatment, prescription medicines, emergency ambulance services, and some medical tests.

If you are studying with family members accompanying you to Australia, such as a spouse or dependent children, they will also need to be covered under OSHC. Several health insurance providers in Australia offer OSHC policies. It’s essential to compare the coverage, costs, and services provided by different insurance companies to find the best option for your needs.

English Proficiency for Student Visa:

English language proficiency is an essential requirement. Demonstrating your English language abilities ensures that you can fully participate in your chosen course and have a successful academic experience in Australia. Depending on your course and education provider, you may need to provide evidence of your English language proficiency. Accepted tests include IELTS, TOEFL, PTE Academic, and others. You can take one of the approved English language tests, such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic, or Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE). Each test has its own minimum score requirement, so check the specific score needed for your course and visa application.

Health and Character Requirements:

As part of the visa application process for studying in Australia, you must meet certain health and character requirements. These requirements are put in place to ensure the safety and well-being of the Australian community and to maintain the integrity of the country’s immigration system.

Medical Examination: You will be required to undergo a medical examination by a panel physician approved by the Australian Government. The examination assesses your overall health and determines if you have any health conditions that could be a risk to public health or could cause significant healthcare costs during your stay in Australia.

Seek Professional Assistance:

Consider seeking assistance from reputable education consultants experienced in Australian student visa applications. They can guide you through the process and provide valuable insights. If you are seeking professional assistance with your visa application or any other immigration-related matters, it’s essential to consult with a registered migration agent or immigration lawyer. These professionals are knowledgeable about the latest immigration laws and regulations and can provide you with expert advice and guidance throughout the visa application process.

Look for professionals with a proven track record of assisting clients with visa applications and immigration matters, especially for the type of visa you are applying for. Check reviews and testimonials from previous clients to gauge the reputation and quality of service provided by the professional. Choose a professional who communicates effectively and responds to your inquiries.

Professional help can be beneficial in navigating the complexities of the visa application process, ensuring that you meet all requirements, and increasing the chances of a successful outcome. However, it’s important to remain vigilant and only seek help from registered and reputable professionals.

Work restrictions for student visa holders

As of 1 July 2023, they have reinstated work restrictions for student visa holders in Australia. During the pandemic, these restrictions were relaxed and entirely removed in January 2022 to address workforce shortages. However, the government has now implemented a limit on the number of hours student visa holders can work per fortnight. Now onward, all student visa holders in Australia may work for a maximum of 48 hours per fortnight. This means that you can work up to 48 hours every two weeks.

The Australian government has ANNOUNCED a significant change to the immigration system by providing an upgraded pathway to Permanent Residency (PR) for Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa holders. The TSS visa, also known as subclass 482, is a temporary work visa that allows skilled workers to work in Australia for a specific employer for up to four years.

Under the new policy, which was announced by the government, all TSS visa holders will have a pathway to apply for Permanent Residency by the end of 2023. This means that individuals who have been working in Australia on a TSS visa will transition from temporary residency to permanent residency status. Introducing this pathway to PR is intended to provide employers and migrants with greater certainty and stability. It enables skilled workers who have demonstrated their value and contribution to the Australian workforce to have a viable option to apply for permanent residency, which can lead to more extended stays and potential opportunities for settlement in Australia.

Embracing Positivity: A Journey to a Fulfilling Life

Jaspal Singh - 21 July 2023

In today’s fast-paced and constantly changing world, finding positivity in life has become more important than ever. It’s about embracing new experiences, altering our perspectives, staying physically active, directing our energy toward our goals, and taking ownership of our responsibilities. By incorporating under mentioned things into our daily lives, we can create a profound and lasting impact on our overall well-being.

Embrace New Things:

Stepping out of our comfort zones and embracing new challenges can open doors to personal growth and self-discovery. Be it trying a new hobby, learning a skill, or engaging in meaningful conversations with different people, the willingness to explore the unknown can lead us to new opportunities and enriching experiences. Embracing new things is of utmost importance. It serves as a pathway to personal growth and development, allowing you to continually evolve and improve. Trying new things allows you to explore your passions and interests, uncover hidden talents, and unearth aspects of yourself that you may not have known existed.

Change Your Perception:

Our perception shapes our reality. By cultivating a positive mindset, we can transform how we view life’s obstacles. Instead of dwelling on problems, we can choose to see them as opportunities for growth and learning. Through mindfulness and self-awareness, we can shift our focus towards the good, fostering gratitude for the blessings we have.

Engage in Physical Activity:

Physical well-being plays a crucial role in our mental and emotional health. Regular exercise not only boosts our energy levels and overall vitality but also releases endorphins that promote a sense of happiness and well-being. Whether it’s a simple daily walk, yoga, or a full-fledged workout routine, incorporating physical activity into our lives can have a profound impact on our positivity.

Focus All Energy on Your Goal:

Having a clear sense of purpose and setting meaningful goals provide direction and motivation in life. When we channel all our energy toward achieving our dreams, we become more determined and focused, overcoming obstacles with resilience. Celebrating every milestone, no matter how small reinforces a sense of accomplishment and fuels our positivity.

Take Responsibility for things

Taking ownership of our actions and decisions empowers us to create positive change in our lives. By holding ourselves accountable for both successes and setbacks, we foster a sense of control and self-reliance. Taking responsibility also involves nurturing healthy relationships with others, communicating effectively, and offering support when needed.

In conclusion, positivity in life is not a fleeting feeling but a deliberate choice and a way of living. Embracing new experiences, cultivating a positive mindset, staying physically active, pursuing meaningful goals, and taking responsibility all contribute to a fulfilling and optimistic outlook on life. By integrating these elements into our daily routines, we can create a ripple effect of positivity that not only impacts our lives but also inspires those around us. So, let’s embark on this journey to embrace positivity and live our lives to the fullest!
