Their story begins below

From the parents-to-be

For months, we have imagined your smile, your tiny hands and the person you will become. We have not met you yet, but you have already changed our world.
— Simran & Arjun, with hearts already full

Our Journey to You

Two cups of chai and gently held hands on a sunlit kitchen table

Chapter One

The Day Our World Became Bigger

One quiet spring morning, two lines on a small screen changed everything. We sat together in the kitchen, tea going cold, smiling at each other without saying a word.

The day the dream beganA morning in March
Bibi ji's hands knitting a tiny sage-green baby sweater

Chapter Two

Every Day, A Little Closer

Since then, the whole family has been getting ready in their own ways. Bibi ji has started knitting. Dadu has shortlisted seventeen names. The little room by the window is slowly filling with soft things and softer hopes.

Seventeen names and countingThe months in between
The whole family's hands stacked together, a child's hand on top

Chapter Three

A Family Ready to Love You

Grandparents, chachas, buas, maasis and mamas — an entire team of storytellers, spoilers and protectors is waiting. You will never be short of laps to sleep in or hands to hold yours.

Your whole team is hereAlways

With hearts already overflowing with love, the Malhotra and Sethi families invite you to celebrate

A Little Family Prediction

What Do You Think, Family?

No prizes, no pressure — just the family's collective guess at who this little person will be.

And the big one — a little boy or a little girl?
Which month will the baby choose to arrive?
Lots of hair, or a little?
Whose smile will they inherit?
What kind of little person will they be?
Morning sunshine or night owl?
