Truth is stronger than fiction, as the Outlook/Picador India non-fiction competition shows. Many of the 700 entries were good enough to be put in a book, as one of the judges, Amit Chaudhuri, suggested. The proud first prize winner, S.A. Srivatsa, turned out to be the pseudonym of Mumbai-based architect Saryu Ahuja.

Olivia Hussey as Mother Teresa? Of course, if your make-up man is Hollywood legend Kevin Haney.

If Sony Music officials are to be believed, Waters will give the metropolis a miss in favour of Bangalore. Wonder what’s it about Mumbai that everyone skips it at the last minute. Remember, last year both Deep Purple and Scorpions ditched it in favour of Bangalore. And we thought Mumbai is a happening place!
