That’s the best way to learn. While this was not an option for me, when I decided to move back from California to India, little did I know there was a very cool opportunity waiting for me. Over the first six months of 2024, I explored multiple ideas. I tried to start something, gave a bunch of interviews in popular companies in the US and India, considered moving to Hong Kong, visited my dad’s office, and gave a […] - [Fasting for a Husband You Haven’t Met Yet](https://jagrutijethwani.com/fasting-for-a-husband-you-havent-met-yet/): Fasting for a Husband You Haven’t Met Yet No, this isn’t clickbait. Today, thousands of women and girls across India are fasting for the long lives of their (future) husbands for Teejri.  Teej or Teejri (Sindhi) is celebrated on the third day after a full moon, on this day we celebrate the love of Goddess Parvati for Lord Shiva.  When I was a little girl, my mom and her friends had a set routine. One week before Teejri, the landline would start buzzing with planning calls. The well-connected aunty would arrange mehendi artists to come down and dedicate a parking spot for them all evening. […] - [I faced my worst fear, and I liked it!](https://jagrutijethwani.com/i-faced-my-worst-fear-and-i-liked-it/): I moved out of home and in almost one year I actually never lived alone. It was a fear I always managed to avoid. I comforted myself saying, “I will never have to live alone, so why should I get used to it?” I even had conversations with my friends who enjoyed alone time by asking them questions like  What does it feel like?Don’t you get bored?WHY put yourself through it? Luckily, my friends loved me and patiently answered my questions.I was visiting India for my summer break and planned to head to California after a month to “live alone” […] - [Re-Calibrating in Cali](https://jagrutijethwani.com/re-calibrating-in-cali/): was a single child for the first eight years of my life. They were the best eight years ever. I had everyone’s attention – my parents, my grandparents, and all my uncles and aunts. And then, my sister, Tamana, was born. It didn’t dawn on me that the attention I got would get divided – and not equally. She was the youngest on both sides of the family. It made sense for everyone to give her all their love. I cannot blame my family for loving her however, it made me feel a need to stand out and get everyone’s eyes back […] - [Which side of the brain are you listening to?](https://jagrutijethwani.com/which-side-of-the-brain-are-you-listening-to/): My parents are very religious. When I was in school, my friends would discuss where their parents took them over the weekend every Monday morning. Sunday evening movies, new restaurants, a hill station stop, and more. It felt a little weird for me to chip in on the conversation because my mom had an unsaid rule in the house: Sundays we go to Satsang. We would get prasad after Satsang, and would usually be too full to go out after that. It’s not that I did not like to go pray, or we did not ever go out to eat, but I […] - [Miles to Go Before I Sleep](https://jagrutijethwani.com/miles-to-go-before-i-sleep/): Who Am I?How do people see me?How do I see myself?What is my personality?  My mind was filled with these questions. Don’t worry, I was not in the middle of an identity crisis, I assure you. I was working on my childhood dream to have a website. I wanted it to be a reflection of who I am. One day, I made up my mind and decided it was time to go.  Time to go digging.Digging deep into my thoughts.Digging into the people around me.Digging into the culture and background I come from.Digging into the lives of my parents and […] - [My Defining Moments - A Graduate's Ode to College](https://jagrutijethwani.com/my-defining-moments-a-graduates-ode-to-college/): I think the most beautiful creature on Earth is a butterfly. When we see them, it instantly fills us up with happiness and hope. You cannot be sad around a butterfly. If you have ever seen the entire cocoon process, you will know how much pain and discomfort comes  The beauty of the butterfly comes at a great cost of discomfort and pain when it is in a cocoon. Unfortunately, it cannot do the cocoon process if it wants its wings to develop. One thing I learned in my last year is that growth comes from an uncomfortable place.  Stepping […] - [The Forgotten Culture](https://jagrutijethwani.com/the-forgotten-culture/): When I was a child, our lives revolved around board games, books, encyclopedias, and general knowledge quizzes. There was this series of coloring books that told you about the different kinds of birds, animals, continents, and even about India. There was a write-up on Diwali, Eid, Christmas, Holi, Baisakhi, and lots of other harvest festivals. Although we did celebrate Holi and Diwali at home, I noticed there were no other festivals in the book that I knew about. There was no Chetichand, no Teejri, no Thadri, no Laal Loi which were staples in my house. None of my friends had any […] - [My Experiences as the Secretary](https://jagrutijethwani.com/my-experiences-as-the-secretary/): It was time. I could feel the anxious and excited butterflies in my stomach, not sure of what to expect when the curtains opened up. I was on stage with our Chief Guest, Guest of Honors, College Dignitaries, and Faculty Advisors. The efforts, dedication, and commitment of my entire team over the last 6 months were to come to a conclusion in just a few moments. It was the last event of the week and it had to be impactful, inspiring, and moving. It was the Valedictory Ceremony of Pune StartUp Fest 2020!  As I heard the curtain’s motor running, […] - [Exploring my way to Exponential Growth](https://jagrutijethwani.com/unbox_college_blog/): I had decided on my outfit days in advance for my first day at college. I was finally going to live the “college life” and make memories I wouldn’t forget for years. My heart was filled with excitement for the beginning of a new chapter in life as well as fear and anxiety because this was a solo expedition. Luckily I had an older cousin, Avinash, in the same college and when he met me, he gave me some advice:  Explore as much as you can in your First Year Throughout the first day, as professors walked in and out […] - [The Happy Meal](https://jagrutijethwani.com/the-happy-meal/): I can’t call myself a foodie but I enjoy eating good food. I am a big fan of the appetizers irrespective of their cuisine. A problem we faced in the lockdown while ordering food from outside was to place the order of appetizers and the main course together but while eating, I had to decide how much the paneer tikka and the rajma chawal I ate! The satisfaction both of them gave was different yet equally important.  With a little reflection on my recent experiences, I have realized this applies to my source of happiness too. The small simple sources […] - [The Maharaja Thali Of Happiness](https://jagrutijethwani.com/the-maharaja-thali-of-happiness/): While growing up, my parents strongly believed in making me earn the luxuries they could provide. One of the earliest memories I have is them trying hard to get me into school. I remember it all depended on my interview, and before I went in, they showered me with love and told me that I would get a hula hoop if I did well, and I desperately wanted one. Eventually, I did get both the admission as well as a bag full of toys including the hula hoop.  I am an adult now and I have understood the parenting strategy […] - [The Small Bites Of Happiness](https://jagrutijethwani.com/the-small-bites-of-happiness/): Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things I loved singing this song in middle school. Our teacher, Mrs. D’Souza had created a magical world for us in her singing period. Now that I think of it, it probably was because she took song requests. Every class she would ask us which song we wanted to sing, more often than not, she would try to cover everyone’s requests. We practically had a school authorized karaoke every week. For 9th […] - [Perfectly Unorganised](https://jagrutijethwani.com/perfectly-unorganised/): While growing up, my parents emphasized having a neat, tidy, and organized lifestyle. They lived this life around my sister and me hoping, we would see and learn. If my mother wants me to do something, she points out repeatedly until my brain gets tired and finally gives in. There is something about my generation, we get a kick in doing the exact opposite of what is expected!  All this resulted in me turning out to be a very messy child!  My parents did not give up either, and thus I had no help in cleaning my room! My habits […] - [My Relationship with Consistency](https://jagrutijethwani.com/my-relationship-with-consistency/): Right from when I was a child, Mumma took photos of everything! When I was born, when I walked, my first fancy dress or my first dance performance. It seems this was a trend in the early 2000s. There is a beautiful pink baby book with my name on it. But with this, Mumma also made it a point to take gazillion pictures of all the ‘not so important moments’ of my life!  When I went to Egypt for an internship, a lot of my friends and family were concerned about me for multiple valid reasons, especially after my episode […] - [Integration - Math Concept or a Working Style?](https://jagrutijethwani.com/integration-math-concept-or-a-working-style/): Wake up – Call – Sign – Sleep – Repeat! Imagine living this routine every day for 3 months! Checking your phone as soon as you wake up to ensure you haven’t missed any important emails. Having an elaborate to-do list that just keeps increasing as the day goes by… Well, this was me for an entire year. When you feel passionate about something, life finds a way to give you an opportunity to learn more. I got this opportunity when I was chosen to lead the Student Entrepreneurship Cell of my college. It was a great responsibility to induce, […] - [I Did It All By Myself](https://jagrutijethwani.com/i-did-it-all-by-myself/): Where are you going? Actually, I am going to Cairo which is in Egypt.  What is the purpose of your travel? Ummm, I am going for an internship.  Is anyone traveling with you? I usually don’t travel solo, but today I am going alone.  But beta, if you can get an internship in India, why do you want to go and work in Egypt particularly?   Hmmm, sir, maybe I can, but I think I am going for the experience I fumbled on every answer because I was so used to my father answering these for me.Trying to convince the Immigration […] ## Pages - [homee](https://jagrutijethwani.com/homee/): Namaste, I am Jagruti Jethwani I’m a 25-year-old entrepreneur, community builder, and strategist passionate about blending culture, business, and technology to create meaningful impact.

The first time I thought of writing a blog was in July 2015 and my first blog was published on 7th July 2020. My fear of criticism and “what will people say” held me back for five years however, now there is no going back. I started writing my first few blogs as reflective pieces and now am trying out new things. I would really love to hear your candid feedback, unfiltered comments, or anything that will help me improve on this path I have chosen for myself. - [Capsules](https://jagrutijethwani.com/capsules/): Capsules A capsule is basically medicine in a small container which solves the ailment rapidly. It holds inside it magic, medicine, cure, answers! Here is a collection of tiny capsules from instances of my life where I learned or experienced something I want to treasure for life and revisit anytime.  Sell more than just the product.
