Beetroot: The Childhood Villain
Being born into a primarily vegetarian Maharashtrian family I was introduced to all the ‘less tasty’ veggies like Radish, Bottle Gourd, Water Amaranth, Bitter Gourd, and countless beans, from a very young age.

Sakhee: An Introduction
The Sakhee Collective celebrates the diversity of female experiences by exploring topics that deeply impact the essence of being a modern woman. We are inherently rooted in the Indian culture and society and are committed to building and sharing narratives that emerge from evolving conversations across generations.
The Power of Female Friendships
As women, we grow up knowing that we have to fit into specific roles, prove our seat at the table, and nurture our loved ones. But amidst this burden of expectations and the chaos of everyday life, female friendships offer a unique solace.
We have a sisterhood to rely on.
Twin Love
I’ve always known I’m a twin. Even before it was explained to me. Even before I can remember my first memory. Even before I can remember existing, I’ve always known that my other half existed along with me.
My Rhea!
Friends Forever
We indulged in every mischief in the book, from bunking classes to watching morning shows, to traversing the length and breadth of the city in search of trendy clothes, to indulging in "adam teasing" and more.
A story of friendship through life and beyond.
