Cheti Chand (Sindhi New Year)

The Sindhi of BC recently celebrated their new year on first full moon day of Chaitra month (Known as Cheti Chand) as per the Hindu calendar. This year on March 18th Sindhi community came together to celebrate new year with the dynamism of the occasion and sharing its joys with the rest of the community. It was a different experience for me and I am glad that I was the part of this special occasion. Every culture has own traditions. On this day Sindhis cook the traditional black gram and sweet rice pudding. Also special offering was prepared for 'Jhulelal'.The festival also marks the arrival of spring and harvest .

Being the queen of universe; while you might not want to take your role quite that  far, you can become the queen of your own life simply by changing your outlook. I chose to be the Indian goddess of Saraswati. Hindu goddess of knowledge, music and art.

We're living in a vibrant multicultural country, so it's great that we want to understand cultures other than our own. Trying to understand and embrace cultural differences can open us up to a whole world of exciting new possibilities and experiences

May the blessings of Jhulelal shower upon you this new year and bestow you with all the fortunes of a happy life. Happy Cheti Chand.
