This year, my family and I traveled to India to celebrate my nephew’s mundan, a sacred first haircut ceremony. Our journey took us from the vibrant streets of Mumbai to the soulful traditions of Gujarat and Kutch, revisiting the place where my son had his mundan years ago. We witnessed rich rituals, felt the warmth of family and community, and experienced a profound moment witnessing a woman’s diksha vow at a Jain temple—leaving me changed and deeply grateful.
