Before the day of the meeting came, It was discussed in the village pump of Punjabi Wikipedia and over messenger, group chats that when can we meet. So, the day of 25 August, Sunday was decided to meet. 15 people participated in this meeting. 6 of them are living in Patiala and other people came from different parts of Punjab. 3 participants came of the first time. Before the meeting, It was raining in Patiala, so the meeting was started at 12:30 instead of 11 AM.
First of all, we started with an introduction and later we discussed to organize an event or workshop dedicating Guru Nanak Dev's 550 Years birth celebration. In between ਲਵਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਸਿੱਧੂ joined the meeting. Stalinjeet Brar gave his views that what we have done or what we can do. After that, the tea was served by Jagseer S Sidhu and Rajdeep ghuman.
