The long and short of it...
Her disclaimer, upfront, is disappointing for a lifestyle reporter, who is always in search of gossip. "Personal life, I don't want to get into, please, because they're all litigations and it's all sub-judice. I'm in Chandigarh for a literature event; let's stick to that."

In thick soup
Winter is knocking on our door and now is the season of yummy soups. It is also time to move beyond the typical tomato or chicken soup and experiment with other ingredients.
