This newspaper's special assignments editor Rani Singh could make her "Leading Lights" column even more interesting if she tried to get her esteemed guests to reveal something of their personalities. Rani gives readers a nice commentary every week on guests' career paths, their awards and other achievements, but we end up wondering: "What are these luminaries really like?"
Rani should focus more on an interviewee's unexpected decisions, actions and moves and ask many probing "Why?" and "How?" questions to find out what makes them tick.
She is a brilliant journalist, eminently capable of enhancing her column's already wide appeal.
