THE KINGS AND I

One of the perks of being the editor of an entertainment magazine is that you get to hobnob with the legends sometimes.

Our South Awards are round the corner as we speak. Since we weren't able to hold the South edition last year, as a gesture of goodwill, I travelled to Chennai to honour Kamal Haasan, Mani Ratnam and AR Rahman and hand over the trophies. Thanks to Mumbai’s erratic monsoon, reaching Chennai was proving to be an adventure. I was worried about the flight getting delayed or cancelled. Thankfully, we reached there more or less on time, to much relief.
