Incredible Lakes
Flying from Addis Ababa, through an Ethiopia healing from civil strife, to Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), I couldn’t help being stricken by the vastness and significance of the lakes I passed over. These waterbodies are not just geographical features— they are integral to the region’s ecosystem, culture and history. The flight gave me a rare aerial glimpse of some of Africa’s most iconic lakes, many of which are marred by tension and conflict, yet celebrated for their natural beauty.

Mystery Woman
BHAVNA Paliwal is all smiles as she leans back on her black leather executive chair. She hasn’t slept in 24 hours, having tracked a suspect across the hills near Delhi. “That’s the nature of a private detective’s job—one minute you are having chaat with the family, the next you’re chasing a man whose wife suspects him of having an affair,” she says. Despite the complaint, Paliwal loves her job. This is evident from the ease with which she occupies her chair in her office, the gusto with which she laughs at the stories she tells.
