Nishtha is eleven. Nityaah is six. Between them: a camera, a lot of costumes, and a habit of turning ordinary days into something worth watching.
Hello from us
We are sisters. We like travelling, painting, craft — and making videos about all of it. We're not professional content creators. We just love making something and putting it out there. And both of us love to dance.
Seven hundred and sixty-six videos later, it's still the same idea: press record, and see what the day gives us.
— Nishtha & Nityaah
The two of us
Five years apart, which is exactly enough to argue about everything and still share a room, a hairbrush and a YouTube channel.
निष्ठा
The one who plans the shot, remembers the lines and decides when we're done. Classical and folk dance on stage, storytelling off it — and the steadier hand on the camera, most of the time.
नित्याह
The one who walks into frame uninvited and improves it. Paints on everything, swims like she was born to it, and has never once been asked twice to dance.
सार्थक नाम · Names that mean something
Our names weren't picked from a list. They arrived as a pair, from a sant, years before the second of us existed.
निष्ठा
Chosen first, in Salangpur, when she was newly born.
नित्याह
Kept for five years, and waiting when she arrived.
Put them side by side and you get a small instruction:
begin with faith that stands firm — and then keep going, every single day.
How it happened
Soon after the first of us was born, our parents travelled to Salangpur. Param Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj was there. They went to ask for a name for their new daughter — and came home with two.
“One blessing. Two names. Two sisters — five years apart.”
With their first daughter newly born, our parents travelled to Salangpur at a time when Param Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj was there, and asked a sant what to call her.
He didn't give one. He gave two — Nishtha and Nityaah — and left the choosing to them.
They brought both names home and chose Nishtha for her. The other stayed folded away, unused.
A second daughter arrived — and the name that had been waiting all along finally belonged to someone. Which is how the two of us ended up sharing one blessing, and one channel called NiNi.
Our favourite kind of day is the kind we can film.Imagicaa, Maharashtra
What goes on the channel
Some of it is rehearsed for weeks. Some of it is filmed in the ten minutes before dinner. All of it goes up.
Garba, Rajasthani folk, school functions — and a great deal of living-room choreography.
Ganpati, Janmashtami, aarti and dhun — filmed at home, with everybody joining in.
Beaches, hill stations, theme parks, temples. If we went somewhere, there is footage.
Painting, paper, decorations, birthday sets built the night before. Mostly by hand, always by us.
Krishna and Sudama, Helen Keller, the solar system — school chapters told properly, out loud.
Between takes
Four small clips that never made it into a video — which is usually where the good bits hide.
From the channel
A handful out of seven hundred and sixty-six. Nothing loads from YouTube until you actually click.
The two of us
One of us reads the script twice before the camera goes on. The other one has already started. Somehow it works — and it has worked for hundreds of videos now — through school functions, festivals, long car journeys and a great many beaches.
The names were given together. It seems only fair that everything else is too.
The album
Beaches, birthdays, hill stations, cake, costumes, and a lot of standing still for exactly one photo.
निष्ठा · नित्याह
New videos go up whenever something worth filming happens — which, in this house, is most weeks.
