In this chapter of Lit Nama, Laxmi is joined by the Feature's Writer of Mid-day, Jane Borges who talks about her new novel Bombay Balchao. Why is there a pickle in the name of the book? How do stories and histories get told around food? Can nostalgia and history create a work of Fiction?

Find out the answers to all these questions as Jane takes us through the neighborhood of Bombay she grew up in and tells yet another fascinating story of the changing landscape of the city.
