For newlywed Dalljiet Kaur, who has taken her husband’s surname Patel, this Baisakhi is special. “This being my first Baisakhi after marriage, is absolutely special,” she says speaking to us from Kenya where she has shifted after marrying Nik Patel. She adds, “Though Nik is an NRI, he believes in all Indian traditions and respects them. In fact, he told me a few days back that Baisakhi is approaching on April 14 and that we should go to the gurdwara together and celebrate.”
Dalljiet says they intend to celebrate all first festivals “like every newlywed couple does and will cherish the festivities with our kids as their memories are very important,” she says.
