Talking of Love… Proud of my batchmate, former colleague, a doting mother of our daughters & affectionate grandmother, steadfast friend and spouse Lakshmi Puri on receiving the prestigious Pandit Hari Dutt Sharma Award for her epic love story & bestselling literary magnum opus ‘Swallowing the Sun’. Like all other causes she associates with, and battles which she fights to win, I am witness to the painstaking research and effort with which she created this masterpiece. Happy for the love which readers, litterateurs and critics are showing for her book.
