About

Jan Sandesh Time is a free, friendly guide to greetings and messages: what to write for festivals, family occasions and the everyday moments when a few kind words matter.

“Jan sandesh” means a people’s message in Hindi. The idea behind the site is simple: everyone has messages to send, and the right time to send them is usually now.

What you will find here

• Festival Wishes: greetings and lines for festivals across the year.
• Family Occasions: birthdays, weddings, new babies, new homes and more.
• Writing a Message: a simple method for writing your own.

What this site is not

Jan Sandesh Time is not a newspaper or a news service, and it does not publish news. It does not sell cards, gifts or messaging services, and it does not write personal messages to order.

How we write

We aim for warm, inclusive suggestions that work across regions, languages and faiths. Customs differ from family to family, so treat every idea as a starting point.
