So last monsoon season, I was rushing down a wet staircase at a wedding and completely rolled my ankle. That horrible crack sound, the instant swelling, the way I just sat there on the floor not knowing whether to cry or laugh. I genuinely had no idea if my ankle was sprained or broken. My […]
I still remember the day my grandmother pulled out a small dark bottle from her handwritten remedy book and said, "Beti, this one is for your hair."

Why I Started Eating Green Grapes Every Morning A few months ago, my grandfather was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. As you can imagine, the whole family started looking at food differently.
