Did you know that Lata Mangeshkar’s family was from Goa? And that her given name was Hema? And that her grandfather’s surname was Hardikar? Here are the fascinating facts!

@TOI_Books @kavitakane @VinitaNangia Writing for Kavita Kane was most enjoyable - doing the historical research in order to make the story authentic, but concocting an entirely imaginary plot (as Kavita asked for) gave one the thrilling feeling of actually re-writing history!

[Tino de Sa @tinodesa]

Thank you so much @VinitaNangia , @TOIWriteIndia and @SalmanRushdie Writing this story was really a challenging experience - and being among the top ten is thrilling.
