3^rd March is a Birth date of Artist, Sagar AC. To celebrate his birth date a workshop cum lecture was organized at lesser known village called as Khizrabad, Near Chandigarh, India. We visited same school where we identified art talent during our last year talent hunt campaign i.e. Baba Zorawar Singh Fateh Singh School. After a painting competition we gave rewarded talented children and also recognized teachers of school for nurturing such a great talent. A painting made by Sagar AC during his lifetime was dedicated to school by President of DREAMS UNLIMITED SOCIETY to strengthen partnership with the school. We assured children that society will come back after their exams and organize a Photography workshop for them so that they remain at par with the knowledge / exposure of urban children and can compete to excel in life.

I was special invitee at Function and received award at Teachers Home, Bathinda.
I am a proud son of this great personality !!

Today, 1^st December, 2012, I am with my Dad’s friends at Bathinda, Punjab.

Feeling that my feet have become bigger to fit in father’s shoes. Though, I am nowhere in front of him, but just trying to maintain relations which he has created over his life. Otherwise what we are ? if we remove relations, emotions  and feeling and from our life – we are merly a flesh and collection of biological mechanisms which runs our body  and keep us alive(like heart, lever, brain etc).

Today, I am in at Artist Gurpreet’s house in Bhatinda. He made me feel special because of his respect for my father. Thru Gurpreet, I felt connected with Sagar Sahib’s soul – wherever it is !!

My life is filled with golden moments which I spent with a great man. His greatness lied in being simple, humble, gentle, hard working, passionate and focused.  

As a son, I look back to my childhood, adolescent years and adulthood – there is so much to share about him not only as a father, but also as a human being.  Organized a Musical tribute to pay homage to this remarkable man who was firstly ‘A noble person’  and was then ‘An Artist’. Special

Big Thanks to Dr. Bhim Inder Singh of Punjabi University, Patiala for making it happen. 
 
Can write thousand pages about my personal interactions and also about what sort of personality he was  (and perhaps would write some day).  

You are being profoundly remembered Sagar Sahib !!

Artist Sagar is not with us from exactly last 1 year (9^th Nov 2011). He must be watching his friends and family members organizing Art Events in his remembrance since he left.
 

Recently, a Musical Tribute was given to him by a organization “Dreams Unlimited”. His close associates & friends, his loving students and family members have attended this exclusive event which was by invitation only.  The event was possible only because of guidance and support from Dr. Bhim Inder Singh and Mam Nivedita Singh (Punjabi University).

Renowned Ghazal Singer from Ludhiana, Mr. Randhir Kanwal (who is also his student) came specially to soak the audience with his unique singing style. He specially  came to Patiala just for this occasion at Sagar’s residence, which is now a ‘Centre for Art promotion and talent development’.

Part 1 – Classical singing is presented in Video.

Part 2 – Ghazals by Mr. Randhir Kanwal & Ms. Rakhi Kanwal follows.

Try to be there for a moment and Cherish the art flied environment !!
