Sindhi New Year


It gives me utter happiness to share and wish you all a very happy "Chet i chand ,our Sindhi New Year". It is a very common saying that“Jeko Chavando Jhulelal,Tanhija Thenda Bera Paar means "Whoever will say Jhule Lal, his/her ship will reach the shores (safely).

We call it Cheti Chand because as per Hindu Calendar, it falls on the second day of Chaitra month (a day after Gudhi Padwa).

Sindhis celebrate this day with great pomp and show. People celebrate it by dancing in Sindhi Temples and Street Procession. Kids also showcase their talent by performing dance on special Sindhi Songs known as ladas. Famous ladas to name a few are :

  • Mast Kalandar
  • Ek Son Jo Rupayo
  • Hojamalo
  • Muhinja More Laada
  • Ainer wade shaan saan
Sindhis are very well known for their food globally :

1) SaiBhaji Pulao : Made from Spinach and Chana Pulse(Gram) and Pulao made form Rice.


2) Daal Pakwaan : Daal is made from Chana Pulse (Gram) and Pakwaan is made from Maida ( All Purpose Flour).


3) Doda Chatney : Doda is made from Rice or Maize Flour and Chatney is made from Coriander and Mint Leaves.


4 ) Malpoora : made from Flour, Milk and Sugar.


5) Sindhi Kadi : made from Besan (Chick Pea Flour).



May God Jhulelal bless you and your family ! :) 

Jai Jhulelal

1 st April has always been exciting for me ! Not because April Fool falls on this day. As it’s my husband’s birthday this day which is supposed and meant to be a special day for us . Lets read how   I made my man’s day a memorable one.   Please note : Imagining, while reading is important; to have fun. :) 1)This tissue roll was his 1 st surprise.      2) As he was about to wash his hands, the soap did not form lather. 3) He went to take bath and his shampoo bottle had oil instead. 4) Picked his favorite shirt, which had a red lipstick mark. 5) At the breakfast table, his sanitizer was replaced with liquid soap. 6) Sugar was replaced by Salt, and thus sipped filtered salt coffee. 7) Picked mail box keys instead car ; had to come all way back to the top floor(11 th floor). 8) Post lunch, thought it would be chocolates instead; found veggies. 9) In the ...

Later being empathetic towards him, for the winter season reason, makes me sense his coziness too for home and everything. All I wish for our "God Sun" is to shine brightly everyday !!
