In this episode, Shabd interviews Jasdeep Singh, about his book 'Sparks From The Same Fire', a collection of 4 short stories. Each story explores experiences and emotions which weave us together in the tapestry of humanity.

Jasdeep Singh spent years performing poetry as a hobby. Eventually people started referring to him by the town he grew up in - Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. His writing is influenced by Sikh philosophy, through which he is learning about the concepts of compassion, selfless service, and the common source of all things. He spends his days gardening, learning to ride horses, and having interesting conversations with people around the world.

They talk about the Jasdeep’s experiences that went into the creation of the book, the theme of common origin and common struggle that tie all the stories in the book together, Jasdeep’s relationship with Sikhi and the Nihang tradition, and how all of this forms the basis of the stories in the book which by showing the commonalities amongst people, wants to unite them.
