A Joyful Celebration – My Visit to Delhi for My Nephew’s Chhathi Ceremony

Introduction

Some moments in life are truly special, and celebrating the arrival of a newborn in the family is one of them. After attending my second sister-in-law’s baby shower, I had the joy of visiting Delhi once again, this time for the Chhathi ceremony of her baby boy. Though traditionally held on the sixth day after birth, our family decided to celebrate it a month later, making it an even grander affair.

Reuniting with Family & Meeting the Little One

Returning to Delhi felt wonderful, but what made this trip extra special was finally meeting our family’s newest little member! Holding the tiny baby boy in my arms for the first time was an indescribable feeling—his soft fingers, sleepy eyes, and innocent expressions melted my heart instantly.

The Chhathi Ceremony – A Celebration of New Beginnings

Chhathi is a traditional Hindu ritual performed to bless the newborn with health, happiness, and a prosperous future. Since we celebrated it a month later, it gave us more time to prepare for a beautiful and well-organized gathering.

Traditional Puja & Rituals

The ceremony began with a puja performed by the elders, where prayers were offered for the baby’s well-being. The atmosphere was filled with the scent of incense and fresh flowers, creating a divine and peaceful setting. The baby was dressed in adorable new clothes, looking like a little prince as he received blessings from everyone.

Feast & Family Fun

After the rituals, the real celebration began! A delicious feast was prepared with traditional sweets, puris, sabzi, and kheer—a must-have for such occasions. The house was filled with laughter, joy, and the chatter of relatives who had come together to celebrate this beautiful moment.

A Night of Music & Masti

No family gathering is complete without some fun! The night ended with singing, dancing, and endless gossips, making it feel like a mini-wedding. Seeing the baby surrounded by so much love and happiness made the occasion truly memorable.

A Trip to Remember

This second visit to Delhi was even more special than the first because it marked the beginning of a new journey for our family. Watching my sister-in-law step into motherhood and being a part of my nephew’s first big celebration filled my heart with joy.

As I left Delhi, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the beautiful memories made and looked forward to seeing my little nephew grow!

  🌼 To My Forever Friend: Guddu — A Bond That Found Us 🌼 By Juhi — On Friendship Day We didn’t plan this. We never imagined it. But somewhere, somehow — the universe quietly brought us together. I still remember the very first time I met you, Guddu . It was nothing grand — just a moment in the college lobby of our diploma college in Nashik . You were with your elder sister, asking where the admission office was. Such a small encounter… But little did I know — that question would mark the beginning of something beautiful . 🥰 The Little Moments That Started It All The second time, you surprised us. You came to Kalyan — not empty-handed, but with the cutest smiley cups and your signature joy. That’s just how you are — thoughtful, cheerful, full of sunshine. 🌞 Then came the third moment — when I visited your home. You weren’t alone that day either — your sister’s one-month-old baby Gargi was there too. A little bundle of joy… and so were you. From then on, o...

  My Journey as Juhi — From Holding Back to Healing Boldly 🌼 Intro Paragraph: Every journey isn’t about changing places — sometimes, it’s about changing within . This is the story of my evolution — from being the girl who stayed silent to becoming the woman who writes, explores, feels, and chooses herself unapologetically. My name is Juhi. And this is my journey — one layered with lessons, quiet wins, and soft healing that still continues each day. If you’ve ever felt stuck between duty and desire, or between what the world expects and what your heart whispers — this post is for you. 🪷 When I Forgot Myself to Fit In For a long time, I thought strength meant staying silent. I believed that being "the good girl" meant: Always putting others first Smiling even when hurting Never questioning, never resting, never choosing myself But somewhere along the line... I began to feel tired. Not just physically — emotionally tired of being invisible to my own self. ...

🌿 Healing Ka Safar: Jab Maine Khud Ko Thoda Thoda Samajhna Shuru Kiya

  🌿 Healing Ka Safar: Jab Maine Khud Ko Thoda Thoda Samajhna Shuru Kiya By Juhi — Mentor, Learner, Educator | Juhi The Explorer Healing. Pehle lagta tha ye bas ek fancy word hai — books, reels, ya kisi motivational talk ka hissa. Lekin jab zindagi thoda zyada tootne lagi, tab samajh aaya… Healing is real. Pain bhi real hai. Aur khud ko samajhna sabse bada process hai. 💭 Shuruaat kaafi confusing thi... Mujhe khud nahi pata tha main kis cheez se heal kar rahi hoon. Maa ki kami thi? Apne sapno se door chale jaane ka dard? Ya wo har roz ka emotional thakaan… jise main ignore karti rehti thi? Bas itna yaad hai — Ek din main thak gayi thi "theek hoon" bolte bolte. 🪞Tab Maine Rukna Seekha Main pehle har cheez ka solution dhoondhti thi — immediately. Par healing ne mujhe sikhaya — "Kuch dard sirf mehsoos karne ke liye hote hain, fix karne ke liye nahi." Main likhne lagi. Main chup rehne lagi. Main khud se baatein karne lagi. Aur dheere dheere… Ma...
