About Wishes

Wishes is a free collection of short wishes for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, new babies, festivals, special days, exams, good news and journeys, in English, Hindi (Devanagari) and Punjabi (Gurmukhi).

Where the wishes come from

Every wish on this site is original writing made for this site. Nothing is copied from books, films, songs, greeting cards or other websites. The Hindi and Punjabi wishes were written in those languages and are not machine translations. A few lines use traditional festival greetings that belong to everyone, such as "Eid Mubarak", "Bura na mano, Holi hai" and "Naam japo, kirat karo, vand chhako".

Dates mentioned

Where a page names a date, it is the date as observed in India: Teachers' Day on 5 September, Children's Day on 14 November, International Women's Day on 8 March, Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May, Father's Day on the third Sunday of June, Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August, Independence Day on 15 August (1947) and Republic Day on 26 January (1950). Festival dates that follow the lunar calendar change every year, so we do not print them.

How you may use them

Copy any wish and send it to people you know, on any app, in a card or in a speech. Please do not republish the collection.
