    While they have kept their relationship low-key, the cricketer regularly gives her followers a glimpse into their life together. An indigenous Australian, owing to her mother’s Muruwari background, and an openly LGBTQ+ athlete, Ashley Gardner has paved the way for more inclusivity and diversity in sports ever since she made her debut in 2017. Here’s hoping for more such joyous milestones for the all-rounder.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
