About
The Author: Teja Lele
Teja
Lele changed twelve schools in as many years, and credits her
adaptability to her army-brat upbringing. Inspired by The Fountainhead, she
trained as an architect but soon realized her building blocks were words and
sentences, not bricks and concrete. An editor for twenty years, she has been
DIYing ever since she discovered the joy of making over and upcycling. She
loves to read, watch crime on the telly, and believes the best stories are
found between the pages of a passport.

It is rightly said that health is wealth. One can’t live a happy life if the
health is not well. Though the author has put in her best efforts in giving
suggestions for basic hacks that are beneficial in the long run.

environment. You can find out more about it on page no. 207 in the book.
