Hello everyone!
Sat Sri Akaal,
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh!
How are you all doing? I hope life has been treating you well. It’s been a while since I last reached out. Time flies, especially when you’re busy with new ideas, family adventures, and preparing exciting updates! Apologies for the silence, but let me catch you up on all that’s been happening.
Our family has been hard at work brainstorming and creating new toys for little learners, plus engaging in some seva at the Pune Smagam in India. And, we’re thrilled to announce that our membership program is almost ready to launch! I can’t wait to share it with all of you.
How have you been? Are the kids back to school and settling in? Some of you will be near October half term now? Have you managed to keep up with your Punjabi practice? Life seems to pick up speed around this time of year, but those daily moments for language connection make such a difference.
Traveling to India with a three-year-old and a one-year-old was quite the experience! We visited Pune, near Mumbai, for their very first international smagam – three days of beautiful keertan (singing hymns) and sangat (heartfelt community). The boys loved it!

It was amazing to see my husband’s friends’ reactions; they were so surprised that our little ones, raised in the UK, could understand and speak Punjabi so well. My three-year-old chats fluently, and although my one-year-old is still in his “Papa, Dada, Mama, Boo, Waheguru” stage, he understands every bit of Punjabi!
They asked how we managed to teach them Punjabi, and my response was simple: “We speak Punjabi and only Punjabi at home.” There’s no secret – just practice.

Making the language part of daily family life is what truly helps it take root. It doesn’t have to be perfect – it’s about familiar phrases, little games, and everyday conversations.
Watching them adjust so naturally in India was a proud moment. Despite being in a new country, they felt right at home, making friends and soaking in the culture. My eldest even began to pick up a few Hindi phrases, chatting to shopkeepers and local friends. Moments like these remind me of the beautiful way language can connect us, no matter where we are.
Please do share how your summer went in the comments below and let me know how your Punjabi practice is coming along – I’d love to hear from you!
Thank you! Dhanwaad Ji,
