When Baljit visits the Panjab, he realises that his family is scattered around the world. When he returns home to Coventry he uses the internet to keep in touch with his cousin, Priti, in the Panjab. They discuss the different ways that they're going to celebrate Guru Nanak's Birthday and form a plan to use the internet to bring the family together on this special day. Introductory text explains the significance of the festival in the Sikh religion and there is a full glossary of religious terms at the end of the story.
