On home turf
 Soha Ali Khan, who lends her face for a home décor brand, says she has been obsessed with interiors ever since she bought a new house
Chandigarh weather confuses Soha, or so says her half-on-half-off leather jacket. Now that we have that out of the way, Soha’s virtuous honesty comes across as a breath of minty-fresh air, as she talks to us about her association with the newly opened home décor brand, @home, her preference of directors, her nerd-to-diva journey and future projects.

Fish and spice
What does centuries of Portuguese colonialism do? Apart from the obvious Portuguese touch, there’s a strong reflection of varied influences. Throw in the staples like Kingfish, kokum, prawns and rice. Goan Food Festival at The Taj brings in flavours from the Indian West coast, but doesn’t lose focus on its core element. Think coconut and think fish! “Goan food is all about coconut; coconut milk, coconut vinegar, coconut fenny. That is both its specialty and also characteristic,” shares Chef Domingos Borges, who has flown in from Goa along with his key ingredients. He adds, “After that fish is the main ingredient. We have flown in all the ingredients from Goa, including red chillies. That is a special kind of chilli. It is Portuguese chilli, which has originally come from Brazil.”
