The Best Fluffy Pancakes recipe you will fall in love with. Full of tips and tricks to help you make the best pancakes.
From thyroid crashes to trauma cycles, from dopamine detoxes to dairy intolerance — this is health content for burnt-out South Asian millennials who want their body back, their mind calm, and their plate full (but not with guilt).
Who Are South Asian Millennials, Really?
We are the in-between generation.
Born in the analog world, raised in the digital age.
Taught to obey, then told to “be bold.”
Educated in English, punished in mother tongues.
We downloaded trauma before we downloaded Instagram.
Before we talk about wellness, we need to talk about us. Understanding who we are — culturally, emotionally, economically — is the first step toward reclaiming our health.
Our lives span:
- Partition trauma handed down through silence
- Economic liberalization that promised more but delivered burnout
- Moral policing wrapped in “log kya kahenge?”
- Meritocracy myths that ignored caste, color, gender, and geography
- Global careers built on digestive disorders and over-functioning
- Beauty standards we didn’t choose — but internalized anyway
- Crazy relationships and modern dating built on insecure attachments and swipe fatigue
- Generational gaslighting from elders who compare us to their sacrifices, yet dismiss our stress
- Economic upheavals — crashing job markets, rising rent, student loans, and the myth of homeownership
- The rat race we’ve run since childhood — only to find that in today’s paradigm shift, the race track no longer exists. We look around, dazed, asking: What was it all for?
We’ve survived…
- The shame of acne, body hair, and dark skin
- The confusion of being called “too Indian” abroad and “too Western” at home
- The hollow ache of being high-achievers with zero emotional vocabulary
- The pressure to save money, marry early, and never need therapy
- The slow erosion of our joy in a world that keeps demanding more
We’re the generation that knows too much, feels too much, and rests too little.
Who can Google every symptom but still feel completely lost.
Who are tired of fixing everything — but can’t stop trying.
And now, as we approach our 30s and 40s, we’re asking:
What if healing is more than recovery? What if it’s reclamation?
The Burnout We Don’t Talk About
Before we jump into tips or trends, let’s talk about the undercurrent: burnout.
We didn’t crash from laziness. We burned out from trying to be everything for everyone — except ourselves.
Behind every bloated belly and missed period lies a story of overachievement.
Behind every foggy brain is an unhealed grief.
Behind every skipped meal is a script of shame and sacrifice.
Our bodies held the weight of culture, guilt, ambition, and survival. And now they’re demanding rest, not resistance.
