Hemali Talsania
Born and raised in Mumbai, Hemali walks the chaotic city like she owns the place. Her confident stride is certainly justified—in just an afternoon with her you’ll meet so many of her friends while wandering the city, that it will start to feel like a small, welcoming village. This remarkable woman can take you from fabric shopping to the heart of a sprawling slum; roadside lassis to prayer with Krishna’s devotees. In a city that can be aggressive and intimidating in the wrong light, Hemali’s is a smiling face that we can’t recommend highly enough.
