- The last two days in Jaipur were an absolute blast with the Diwali celebrations and fun filled family time. We made besan laddoo at home, made rangoli, lit lamps and decorated the house. And there was so much food and sweets! My in laws are from Haryana but they live in Jaipur. We travelled from Kerala to be with them as this is the first time we got to spend Diwali with my Indian family in Jaipur. And I also made some cute gifts for the in laws :)

Namaste friends 🙏 My name is Johanna and I'm an Indian wife, living and travelling in India for almost 4 years now. I'm originally from Finland, but currently we are settled in northern Kerala. I'm not a traveller, but vlogging and discovering India - 21/29 states.
Most Indians have forgotten, but I would salute the mom for remembering that we must always give the first meal(that roti) to the animals at home and then we should eat.
We have a doggy at home, my mother gives the 1st roti to him.
This has been said in our holy scriptures.
According to Hindu tradition first roti should be native Indian cows and last ( night) roti should be for Street dogs
Here in haryana we gives first rotti to cow. 😀
My mom ist gives food in the morning to crows also
In my family first food for cow .and then to first bhoga to thakur ki(Krishna) then after we only eat prasadam .
For kashmiri pandits, we usually gave the first rice to the birds.
Your father in law is highly positive and a real human being. His face and gesture guide everybody how to live a human life without discrimination like nationality, religion,caste, colour,creed,
Very well perceived 🙏❤️
Camera ke liye kuch v karega.
@@jogensahu2037 don't talk about your personality ...Are u pakistani
You are a lucky lady. Married to a good family
You are a lovely family person. What a thoughtful present to your in laws. It brings tears to my eyes. Even Asian daughter in laws won't give respect to their in laws. God bless you. Your in-laws are very lucky to have you as well. All the best.
There is a saying that the pregnant lady is the most beautiful thing in this world. So I am voting for you. God bless you 🙏
Thank you so much for the sweet comment 🙏😊
Very true Mr Jha. Like flower blooming !
Akka..i expected a bindi when i saw you in a saree..
I salute your indian husband ,He is such a nice guy ....God bless the couple and wishing you more happiness and joy in life !
Thank you so much 🙏☺️
It is so pleaing to see this young lady from Finland assimilate and adopt the traditions and customs of her husband and his family. She is indeed a lovely and compassionate person. All the very best wishes to you both and the little who is on the way.
You are blessed to have such a beautiful family, i can see that they love you very much.
May u and your family be always blessed and happy.

Yup
No wonder Vinod very good looking. He heritage from your father in law. BTW, love your sari 🥻 ❤..the colour suits with you...so uplifting 🙌 💖
I let mommy pick the saree for me, she has a very good eye when it comes to Indian wear! 🥰 and yes, amazing family genes for looks!!
@Muslimcel , no its Vinod actually.....They say 'Binod' in Bengali .....but otherwise it's Vinod...
@Muslimcel So what, It is Vinod or Binod, overall very nice name, Jihadis r not allowed in comment section..
@MuslimcelName should like KATMULLA CELL..
Same as in gujarati culture first chapati/roti/paratha make for cow and last chapati made for dog(street)...
Gud👍
By the way cow dont eat paratha or anything with oil or ghee.👍🙏
Happy Diwali! This is VERY interesting! I'm a Spanish Kathak and Bollywood dancer living in Mumbai so I loved to see the mixture of cultures in this video, keep it up! Btw you have a beautiful family!! 🌟
Thank you! I am very lucky to have this family 🥰

You all ladies look beautiful. Your in laws are very open minded people. 👍🏽
Thank you 🙂🙏
Johanna, you look so.pretty in that sari! Amazing to see how well you have integrated into Vinod's family, and his family is so happy to have you as a family member. Your gift to the parents touched my heart. What a beautiful way to help them prepare become grandparents . Happy Diwali to all of you!
Thank you so much Maggie ❤️ i think the most important thing when integrating in a new family is the willingness to both learn and teach (but not force). My in-laws are as eager to learn about Finland as I am about India, and we don’t force our views and customs on each other 🥰 happy Diwali to you too! 🙏✨
Your gift of that beautifully decorated jar was so sentimental.
Happy Diwali Johanna,Vinod,daddy mommy and sangeetha 🎆
I have watched all your vlogs..Its lovely..keep up the good work
Love from Sri Lanka❤
Happy Diwali from our family to yours 🙏✨
Happy Diwali from New York, USA. Beautiful family with so much of love. It brings back so much of memories to me. We celebrated Diwali in a similar way...Mother Lakshmi puja, sweet meals, fireworks, diyas..God bless you and your family. Vinod is a cool guy...
Nice to hear you are also enjoying the festivities in NYC 🙏✨
Bhabhi ji has a golden heart just like her hair.
Once again enjoyed watching your Diwali celebrations video. Your in laws are lovely. The gift of the jar with notes is beautiful. Enjoy the rest of you time in Jaipur. I am sure you must be getting a good rest from cooking 😀. Best wishes from London.
Haha, yes I’m not missing my own cooking at all when I have everything that Mommy and Daddy prepare for us with love 🥰 glad you enjoyed the video!
Such a beautiful video and so well done! I really felt like I was there and experienced this celebration with you all! Thanks.🙏
Your father in law is very camera friendly....way more than Vinod. Glad you all are having good time there.
Yes very loving and respectful parents mommy and daddy., especially daddy is very caring., congratulations Vinod and Johanna and the whole family., a very happy and blessed Diwali.
There is nothing more beautiful than a good open minded family and you are lucky .God bless you
Hi Joanna.Enjoy watching all your vlogs but this one was realy nice as it showed us how individuals from different parts of the world blend together.also liked your gifts they were simple but meaningful.May Almighty God bless you and your family. A very happy Diwali to you all.
U are Lucky to have such a beautiful Indian family 💐
You are very fortunate indeed .
Thank you for sharing your family celebration with us. Many of us can’t be with our families this Diwali, so it’s so nice to see you having such a lovely time together. Happy Diwali 🪔 and stay safe.
Yes we all love seeing you father in Law (Daddy) from United Kingdom
Sangeetha is very witty and a smart silent observer
Vinod's sister is soo beautiful & stunning...
You're a very sweet person..so beautifully you've blended into your Indian family.. blessings n prayers for your safe pregnancy n delivery thereafter

You have such a loving family

Happy Diwali 🪔🙏
Rare to see such a wonderful family. Your sincerity deserves it.
I’m very lucky to have them 🥰
Hi, l accidentally opened your some video some days back.
Then yest again l watched one n now today l am watching. I am an Indian, living in India only.
I don't know why lam watching your video.There is some natural modesty n humbleness in you which is reason,l think.
In this video ,lam surprised n feeling so proud of you ,that u r accepting n hugging r culture beautifully.U know so many words of our language.So many sweets name which probably many youngsters don't know.A big hug to u.
Beautiful family... God bless all of you.. Love from Malaysia ❤️
Thank you! You too!
You are very lucky and of course credit to you for adapting. Wonderful family and I wish this family grows and prospers as we build a universal culture that binds people rather than separates them. Great to see the happy times you shared with us. Wishing you a lot more of happy moments in your life. Happy Deepavali, Happy Life!!
Just wanted to add. Please take care and be ready for an early baby.
Thank you so much for your wishes. Wishing you and your family a happy diwali too 🙏🙂
This couple story is really heart touching, can be a good bollywood blockbuster love story for sure
Such good persons. Such a good indian family !! Johanna you really got it all. A good husband and such a lovelly family !!
Happy Diwali to you and your family , I'm Iraqi living in kerala .
I did not know Iraqi people live in india
@@niharswain6362 Yeah, usually people surprise when they see us and they think we are from Europe or Russia , I have my daughter she talk Malayalam .
@@sarahtaher9188 are you muslim ya Christian......How many yours you live in india
We all humans , in iraq we live all together Christian and muslims , no one ask about religion 🙂
@@sarahtaher9188 😁😁😁😁then terrorist killed Iraqi and Syrian people..... do not worry I am just kidding.......In india only malayali people have Arab DNA..... others are different
Daddy's comment(17.46..) that Sangeetha's saree was the best, was epic. That is why I admire the Jats so much. Their native intelligence is unsurpassed. My best friend whom I consider as my elder brother is a Jat. If Johanna understands why Daddy said that, she has got it made with Vinod for the rest of her life.
Johanna you have blended in with Vinod's family very well. Happy Diwali!
Thank you 🙏☺️
Johanna!! seems u choose really right family. Greetings to you all of you .
How lovely to partake virtually in your Diwali celebrations as I begin mine for Advent (the four Sundays before Christmas Day starting on November 29) and the Christmas season. I am now in the process of arranging the lighting on the exterior and interior my home, making the lists of staples I will need to prepare festive dishes, and later in December I will enjoy much music and a decorated tree.
Due to Covid I may be celebrating as an individual as social gatherings outside our own households are currently discouraged in some parts of Canada and forbidden in others. We'll see how the escalating case numbers unforld. Nevertheless, even though I do not practice a specific religion, I am culturally Christian. Therefore, from my traditions I will create a beautiful and sacred space for myself in which to banish the increasing darkness and welcome the returning light.
I feel the same way about Christmas, Lynda! I'm not religious at all, and have never followed Christian rituals during the Christmas season, but it's a cultural celebration for me and a family tradition that I always enjoyed, which makes it critically important for me to celebrate now with my own family too and pass on to our future babies! :)
Once we return to our home in Kerala, I'll also be starting the Christmas preparations. I'm very excited to share my own favourite Finnish festival with Mommy and Daddy too. So far we've only had a small, low-key celebration every year with Vinod and last year we were unfortunately travelling during Christmas. But I'm looking forward to spending it at home this year and creating my own DIY version for the whole family
Hi Joanna I've heard of Diwali but I have never experienced it, it was very interesting to see how step by step the celebration is done . Lot of sweets as I saw from the expressions I can only imagine, Vinod's family is very kind and humble so you are lucky to have such a nice loving family. Take care and God bless
Yes I'm very lucky with my family :) And good to hear you enjoyed Diwali with us!
@@JohannaNorth :-)
Such a beautiful family . This is how a good family welcomes a daughterinlaw.
What a lovely vlog! Loved seeing you celebrate Diwali🤗
Hey i am one of ur subscriber. Why r u not uploading videos anymore?
Hi Vinod & Johanna
Thanks for the wonderful video of your family and yourself celebrating Diwali . It was nice to see everyone coming together and contributing for the festivities. Right from preparing sweets by Mom, lighting Diyas around your home by you and Sangeeta were done meticulously. Papa giving sweets to everyone was a very loving gesture. You looked very nice in a saree, of course Mom and sister too. Vinod and Papa's clothes were simple but good. Your gift to Mom and Dad was very innovative and I can see you have put in a lot of time and effort. Great. Thanks once again. Bye . Take care. Wishes to all at home. 👍
I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed sharing our Diwali celebrations! 🙏☺️
Akka..( Elder Sister ) You are too innocent loving beautiful at heart good and a great soul..May your future be happy prosperous and as you wished akka..
Johanna such is such a happy soul❤️ stay happy make others happy too always ❤️
It is quite heart-warming to see how you have accepted Vinod's family. I hope Vinod knows how lucky he is happy to have you in his life. He is good in his own way. God bless you both.
Self decorated bottle with lovely quotes - the best gift ever!! Lots of blessings to you!!!
Wow. My love u are incredible the manner in which you have embraced your beautiful Indian life. How amazing is the love in this family mummy daddy n Sangeeta have so whole heartedly welcomed u and am so proud of the way you have valiantly put yourself into ur married Indian life. So proud of u my love take care much respects. South Africa
I think it’s very important to respect both of our cultures and heritage in a long-term partnership 🙏😊 and both of our families are also extremely interested in learning about each other’s culture
What a loving family . So you have enjoyed celebrating Diwali. I think you have learnt Diwal rituals also . Vinod is with a smiling face. Stay blessed.
I’ve read a lot about hindu festivals like Diwali, so I already knew many of the rituals that might be included in the celebrations. But what really matters to me is experiencing Diwali with my family and with the specific traditions my family has, because thats what any festivals and holidays are about in my opinion ☺️ for me even christmas is not a religious celebration, but something that belongs to my culture and is an important family tradition 🥰
You are really lucky to have such a loving, warm and welcoming family.
You're blessed to have a gentle and mild mannered family. Happy Diwali 😁
You are very true to your self. You are beautifull . Take care of your in-laws.
Take care of your nanad. She must not feel that you have taken all attention. And yes Sangeeta is stunning in red attire.
Happy Deepavali. Take care.
It is a Festival of Lights no doubt..the lights were put up by the people of Ayodhya for welcoming Lord Rama and Sita after slaying demon king Ravana..which signifies conquer of goodness over evil. Do read up Ramayana and you will understand the full background
Absolutely loved this video, Johanna! Celebrating festivals with loved ones - BEST! Especially Diwali - so much light, positivity and food! Lots of love to you & your family! Take care :)
This video exudes so much of love and positivity. Thanks Johanna for sharing this with us.
Man khush hua indian saari mei...so sweet
Ur father in law is soo sweet...
Vinod’s sister is absolute gorgeous.
What a beautiful family you have 💗😃 God bless you and everyone around 🤗❣️ ...you look beautiful ❤️
Yes I’m very lucky to have them! 🥰 and thank you so much!

Was truly so touching & divine.God bless you all .
12:55 very thoughtful and creative! Tears of joy in my eyes.
Unbelievable your mother in law and sister and husband looks a pakka mallu , and Johanna n dad in law looks typical Haryana , very loving family Johanna is so blessed to get such loving mom in law n sister, this is the best part of traditional Hindu family , lucky you to be married to such good family how did you choose so rightly !!! anyways happy Diwali wishes to all n the waiting lucky Indian Finnish baby
So simple family. No show off
Happy Diwali 🪔 n now I can figure out why Vinod has got this malayali look... Cus his mummy looks just like a malayali next door mummy 😍🥰
P.s you look so pretty in saree ❤️
Cheers to this beautiful family ☺️
Haha yes once we return to Kerala everyone will think they are both natives 😁
Dr. Deepika, we Haryanvi also like beards and moustache. That is something common in both cultures.
Ya he looks a lot like malayali boy.
There nothing wonder , the common ancient genes floting everywhere in India
In the base Dravidians mixed with Aryans and other more races in middle ages
The ratio of mixing is giving the exact look
About Kerala people a more mixing ratio with Aryans , middle eastern , European than other South Indian people
U r best bahu I have ever looked in India .☺️😊😊
That’s so sweet of you to say 🙏😊
She looks kinda old
Heartwarming video. Such a lovely family
such a luvly home. first roti for the cow, soo sweet, the tradition is still followed.
Such a sweet mom and dad .
God bless you all.
I miss my Jaipur Diwali ...so happy that you had a good time ...Jaipur is the place ..miss that vibe ....from a Keralite who lived all his life in Jaipur
Wow! That was awesome. I enjoyed every moment of the video. Keep smiling and God Bless you all your family members.
Johanna congratulations to be the bride of this Indian family & enjoying your Indian life. Yes all our festivals have spiritual./religious & logical festivals. God Bless you & your hubby n everyone in your family. Ravi from US.

Vinod on that outfit looks like a typical guy from Afghanistan 😂 Happy Diwali😍
Well swthrt.. in the ancient Indian history.. Afghanistan was also Indian territory..
And on a untold note.. Earth's second name was India.. everything goes out from India.. :)
Iam a big fan of Rashid Khan...👍
@@sharmavinay087 🤣🤣
Fun Fact: Afghanistan was Part of Ancient India.
Afghanistan saparqted from India not so long ago and have became islamic country but they have many cultural clothes, foods rooted back to India.
Happy Diwali and so enjoyed this video. Your FIL is a Rockstar and Vinod is such a balanced guy, stay blessed!
Your videos are very calming. Makes me feel relaxed.
