The centenary edition of the Khushwant Singh Lit fest, which unfolds this weekend and in which we are participating, appears to be a real cracker of a fest.

Not only have the organizers lined up the likes of Farooq Abdullah, Om Puri, General VP Malik, Salman Khurshid and Kabir Bedi, but word comes in that Mehr Tarar, whose very public spat with Sunanda Tharoor, a day before she was found dead had etched her in to the Indian public imagination, will be present too. Tarar will be there for the release of her book, Leaves from Lahore.
