Born in the “California of Punjab”, Abohar, Mr. Rajdeep Singh Randhawa, 53, moved to Canada nine years ago with an aspiration of a better life. While happy with the economic progress in his homeland, Randhawa feels disillusioned by the increasingly “selfish” tendencies of residents. Living in Canada has provided him with a sense of freedom that he longed for in India, allowing him to build  a peaceful life. With his MBA qualification and a better understanding of Indian laws he launched his business, Notary Public in Surrey. Randhawa has a busy lifestyle, but his spare time is reserved for musician S.D. Burman and philosopher Rajneesh Osho. “I feel that Osho’s philosophy is complete in itself. I am a true follower and I try to apply all his teachings to my personal life,” he finished.
