Remember that one time you ordered from your favorite Indian joint down the road and you got a creamy, delicious, mango lassi? Well, this story is exactly like that. Except it takes place in Pakistan, there’s an arranged marriage, and the lassi is spiked with poison. In honor of Harini’s upcoming wedding, Megan tells the story of a defiant bride whose plot to poison her betrothed goes drastically awry when the whole wedding party falls ill due to a tampered batch of lassi.
