You push us into muzzles for the day and hide us behind dupattas. We’ve been used as a tabletop for cereal bowls when you’re binge-watching Netflix in bed. Do you know how many crumbs we’ve been covered in? Hi, we’re your breasts.
The truth is that breasts are ever-changing dynamic beings. They can be moody, swell up and simmer down. They go through a lot, from your growth spurt at puberty to being mauled by your little ones.
Not everyone is ready to talk about breasts, so we did what a lot of women are uncomfortable doing. We asked OBGYN Dr Rukhsana Hashim all the strange questions you’ve ever entertained about your lady lumps.
Raise your hand in the comments if you agree that we need to have more open conversations around women's health and bodies.

There was a time Gen Z wrinkled its nose at anything Ayurveda, preferring to keep strong-smelling ubtans firmly at an arm’s length.
But like the nerdy kid who suddenly becomes popular in school, Ayurveda has had a glow-up in recent years, and brands like Kama Ayurveda have been instrumental in this transformation, bridging the gap between ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and modern skincare heroes.
So it seems only fitting that Kama Ayurveda have now chosen Princess Gauravi Kumari as their new face. After all, who better embodies this blend of tradition and modernity than a Gen Z member of Jaipur’s royal family?
We asked her to pass along some of her skincare hacks because don’t we all deserve royally good skin?

Not a few sniffles. I mean, actual tears. Nose-running, ugly crying. Over a husky named Kita who lived somewhere in the US and who I’d only ever known through Instagram squares and cheerful reels.
Kita and her fur siblings, Tikanni and Tehya, were a daily dose of joy. Howl sessions, ridiculous sleeping positions, food reviews delivered with side-eye and sass—they were a furry shot of dopamine that popped up on my feed every morning. Till one day, her human posted a reel: Kita had crossed the rainbow bridge.
First came the waterworks. Then the shame. Seriously? I was crying over someone else’s dog on the internet? Was I okay? I hadn’t cried this hard during the lockdown, when people were dying around me. Something about that didn’t sit right. And yet, the grief was real.

Netflix’s widely acclaimed release, Adolescence, was made free to stream for school students across the UK, following a roundtable discussion convened by the British Prime Minister, who said it “hit home hard”.
This is because Jamie, the series’ 13-year-old protagonist, could be any boy. The kind who comes from a regular family, speaks politely, does satisfactorily at school, and has fun with his friends. The kind no one would ever think to call a ‘troubled’ teen.
So why don’t we ever see it coming? How come we’re still missing that pivotal moment when a ‘good boy’ takes a turn towards toxic bro territory?

Indian summers are no joke. The sweltering heat, paired with dryness and humidity, can wreak havoc on your skin. The rising temperatures mean scaling down your skincare routine to the basics. In the process, however, we often assume it’s okay to skip sunscreen – who needs a heavy, sticky, greasy layer on their skin? However, sunscreen is sacrosanct, no matter what the weather or time of year.
So, how do you pick a summer sunscreen that protects your skin and suits your skin type without making you feel like a greaseball? We asked experts and simplified the labels so you can make the best choice for your skin type. If you still need recommendations? We have your back with those, too.
What type of sunscreen works best for you? Tell us in the comments.

The essential ingredients of a stereotypical mother-in-law? Taane (taunts), unsolicited advice, and the occasional long-suffering sigh. For generations, mothers-in-law have been depicted as the matriarch armed with an authoritarian glare, an obsession with spotless countertops, and the ability to go full Gordon Ramsay over a slightly oval roti.
When we shared an Instagram post featuring the perspectives of Indian daughters-in-law, many Tweak readers were curious to hear from mothers-in-law as well.
To explore their side, we spoke with several mothers about their emotions, how they are navigating the changing dynamics within their families, and what they really want from their daughters-in-law.

Did you have an emotional support history teacher in school? Were you fascinated by the ancient civilizations and obsessed about the Percy Jackson series? If the answer is yes, you'll probably enjoy reading mythological fiction as an adult.
And let's face it when the real world feels too jarring or mundane, there's no better escape than disappearing into a different era altogether.
Our pick of the month for the Tweak India Book Club, 'The Immortals of Meluha' by Amish Tripathi is one such book that'll take you on a captivating journey to the Indus Valley Civilization in 1900 BC.
And if you want to travel a little further away from home, we've rounded up some Greek mythology books that'll satisfy that persistent itch to be far, far away-in both, time and space.
What would you add to the list? Tell us in the comments below.
