At the Mövenpick Hotel in Colombo, Sri LankaTo say that I love to travel would
be an understatement. Even if it’s to the most remote and unknown spots, if
there’s a plane ticket with my name on it, Imma be there! And newly added to my
wish-list of places to visit, Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Now here’s a little history lesson—Sri Lanka (known as Ceylon until 1972) was

in and around town at her pilates class or the airport. Her genuine smile and
courteous behaviour when it comes to her fans or the paparazzi has won hearts
everywhere and people look forward to spotting her now. But for a change, we
recently spotted her holidaying away in Sri Lanka and it looked like one chill

One of the best ways to unwind apart from travelling, or binge-watching your
favourite TV shows, is cooking, no? Sometimes, you cook when you don’t like
what’s made at home, and other times, you just really feel like cooking a nice
meal for your loved ones. If you’re the kind of person who likes or has to cook
often but is bored of the standard dal chawal, we’ve got just the recipe for
you! Vidhi Doshi
