Reuben Singh - Gone Under

[Carpe Diem]

I was surprised to hear that Reuben Singh has gone bankrupt.

For those of you havent heard of him he's been quite good for Sikhi in the past, especially in the UK, where he would bring over the top name keertanis from India. It seems he was a bit of a fantasist though when it came to his wealth. He was indeed a millionaire, but self-proclaimed billionaire, who was hoping to beat Bill Gates.

The actual move for bankruptcy could be strategic to his businesses etc but it seems he has HUGE debts.

Heres what wikipedia says about him...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuben_Singh

"Reuben Singh, (born 20 September 1976, Manchester, England), is a British entrepreneur, who became famous for his Miss Attitude and alldaypa companies, but more recently for controversy surrounding his wealth and dealings. In October 2007 he filed for bankruptcy. He calls himself Dr. Reuben Singh although it is not known in which field he has a doctorate."

Outside the industry Ruben Singh has always had people admiring him. The opposite for people who knew his business ethics - Deffinatly not Sikh orientated shall we say!

The Kirtanies that were brought over from India were brought over by Bawa Kholi from Siri Guru Harkrishan Gurdwara, Manchester. They happened to stay round Ruben's house for a while.

Kicking him while he's down, eh?

I happen to know that Reuben Singhs family is currently going through a very hard time due to a family member death. So I suggest this topic be closed imediately it is totally inconsiderate. Moorakho what are you going to gain from talking about others misfortunes?

Bankrupty is not end of your carrier but in fact to some its the start.. There is always a lesson to learn "Never spend too much even when you are awfully rich." Not go out and buy Rolls Royce etc.. Always stay within your needs.

^^ Who is posting from S1ngh's account, doesn't sound like him .

But yeah good post above and in the 'Panchain' thread. Something to think about. Our youth doesn't think twice before spending money on certain things which aren't really a "need" for us.

Lets be fair and honest here - he did help in bringing keertanis over. Back in the day when the jathas came over he also backed visas etc too as he was in a position to do so. So credit to him for that. And i hope he does come back up on top of things.

Also, condolences to him and his family if they are in mourning over a loved one.
