Signification
Expressing that life is going great.
Contexte culturel
Even the busiest diamond merchants in Surat use 'Jalsa che' to show that they are not stressed by market fluctuations. It's a sign of 'inner wealth.' For Gujaratis living abroad, 'Jalsa che' is a way to stay connected to their roots and express that they have 'made it' in a new country. In colleges, 'Jalsa' is often associated with bunking classes to go eat 'Ganthiya' or 'Sandwich.' It's the spirit of rebellion and joy. A heavy Sunday lunch followed by a nap is the definition of 'Jalsa' for most Gujarati families.
Add 'Bapu'
In Saurashtra, people say 'Jalsa છે બાપુ!' to sound extra cool and traditional.
Don't over-pluralize
Even though 'Jalsa' is plural, don't try to make it singular 'Jalso che' to describe your mood; it sounds wrong.
