Teja Lele Desai

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 stones. 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.

I love that in an era of YouTube and a million ideas that often don't work, you have a solid book, full of tried and tested life hacks to help you Live Smart. I could be stranded on an island with this book and you can be assured that I'll be fine! - Rukmini Ray Kadam, blogger and founder of the award-winning décor blog Trumatter

Live Smart can help you lead a quality life with simple hacks that span beauty, wellbeing, home and food. It is vital reading for today's generation. - Kavita Devgan, author

In India where the DIY culture is weak, even decried, a book on ways to solve common household problems without recourse to a tradesperson cannot but be appropriate. … Teja’s excellent little book is replete with examples of how a lay person could well tackle the myriad problems of daily life. Her list of useful instructions include essential tasks such as changing a blown fuse to recycling kitchen waste. There are tips on health, beauty, quick recipes and much else. In all, this delightful little compendium should be in the home of every Indian. - Indranil Banerjie, journalist and woodworker
