Priya Sharma

Priya grew up between Delhi and her grandparents' village in Uttarakhand, which is where she learned most of what she actually knows about Indian culture — the stuff that doesn't make it into textbooks but lives in kitchens and courtyards and at the long tables of family gatherings. She has been writing about Indian traditions, festivals, and family life for over a decade now, mostly because she keeps meeting people who want to know the story behind something — a prayer their grandmother taught them, a dish from a festival they only half-remember, a craft tradition they're trying to keep alive in a city far from home.
