This is the Tuesday edition of our twice-weekly newsmagazine show. This time, we look at the big wins for Indian cinema at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, the origin story of Lakmé’s name- a nineteenth century racist French opera. And the amusing reason why orcas are toppling boats in the Mediterranean.
Founder and Editor Lakshmi Chaudhry brings you the most important, interesting, and sometimes just plain weird headlines of the week, jargon-free, and with a generous dollop of fun. Tune in on Tuesday for more!
