Actor Lillete Dubey is one busy woman. Her company Primetime Theatre completes two decades this year and she's neck-deep in work finalising for the celebrations. Her play Love On The Brink has been running successfully and she's working on a new script. But in all this madness, she still makes time for all of her favourite leisure activities, she tells CS:
WHO: Lillete Dubey
WHAT: Talking about all that she loves doing
WHERE: At her Nariman Point residence
Puzzled!
The tougher the better! My favourite crossword puzzle is the one in a financial daily, which is taken from The Daily Telegraph, London. My husband Ravi and I compete to see who cracks it and finishes it first everyday. I actually got interested because of him. When we got married, he used to solve puzzles everyday and had an air of superiority about him because of it. So I took to it, just to prove that I could be as good as him.
It's only words
I find Bridge both stimulating and relaxing at the same time. It's a game that exercises your brain and is a great way to socialise as well. It'll never bore you because each game offers you a different set of permutations and combinations of the cards. And even though it's a game where people get heated, I love it.
My other favourite is Scrabble. It is something I love playing on long rainy, stormy evenings. When in Goa, my sister, brother in-law, my husband and I love competing over prawn balchao and a drink for company. It's blissful.u00a0
What's cooking?
Not many know this, but I love to cook. I don't get to do it as much as I'd like to, but when I'm bored, I head to the kitchen. I sometimes prepare dishes from recipe books with large improvisations or sometimes I invent my own recipes. I find cooking very therapeautic, creative and satisfying. My daughters, Neha and Ira, have also discovered a love for it. So there are times when the three of us prepare a dish of our own and bring it to the dinner table.
Booked!
I always feel that there is so much to read and so little time to do it. I've largely been an avid fiction lover, but I have suddenly discovered the world of non-fiction ufffdu00a0 biographies, travel tales, essays, etc. Reading to me is a basic need and nothing can replace it. A strong coffee, and a good book is my idea of heaven.u00a0

Beauty in rhythm
Dance and music are the two things I would love to have mastered, and since I didn't, the next best thing is watching them. It's a great way of spending time.
