S P Singh came to journalism in early ’90s, joining The Press Trust of India in Delhi where he remained till 1998, in a senior capacity at the national and international news flow desks. In mid-nineties he toured several European countries on the invitation of the European Commission in order to study the then new economic and strategic bonds being forged among historically inimical conflict societies, a process we all know as formation of the European Union.

He came to Punjab by the end of 1998 and after a year-long fling with PTI's coverage of the region, joined The Indian Express in Chandigarh, and later The Times of India, extensively writing on Punjab’s politics, society, culture and religion till 2006.

He also remained a Fellow In Residence at the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla, working on socio-cultural layers of the civilian discourse between conflict societies like India and Pakistan.

He is a freelance journalist and an independent researcher working with myriad socially active groups, writes for community journals abroad, and also anchors Khabarsaar, a socio-political panel discussion programme on Zee TV Network’s regional channel, where he seeks to bring some perspective to topical issues.

If society was differently organized and peer pressures had a different dynamics, he would have chosen to become a raconteur but since that choice is not available, he currently splits his time between the written and the spoken word. Ordinarily, it is called writing, reading and, to name a lost art, conversing. 

He has spent a lifetime struggling to write in a language which is not his own, and seeks indulgence for the many flaws. 

His primary interests include Words. Spoken and written, some left unspoken, loose or bound, hidden or underlined, and then some writ large along the footsteps of life.
