The festive season is a time where our households become hosts to guests from far and wide. However, despite being important to our culture, it’s imperative to remember that being hospitable should never send you to the hospital! Therefore, the team at Masala invites all readers to join us in recapping the nine types of guest that every Indian household has been host to, with the hope that some (if not all) ring some (door)bells. Moreover, we’ve also introduced our new ‘Spill the Chai’ section with the juiciest tidbits overheard at weddings, and while you’re at it, don’t forget to read our other stories covering the best of fashion, food, and all things fabulous.
