Indian women in sports are kicking ass left, right and
center. Sadly, their victories are highlighted only during
a sports event like the Olympics or the World Cups (or if

most of us don't even know that! That's why, meet
Nimisha Popatia, an NRI who lives in Malibu,

fun chat with us she revealed how she manages to do all
of this and much more!
