From the alleged mole in Indira Gandhis cabinet to the cricket match-fixing scandal, to the Radia Tapes, the Editor-in-Chief of Outlook magazine Vinod Mehta brings you the fascinating stories behind these scoops in his remarkably candid memoir titled 'The Lucknow Boy' which has now been released.. Anuradha Sen Gupta of CNBC TV 18 spoke with him on her “Beautiful People” programme on 26 Nov 2011. In this interview he gives an insight into what makes him tick and why and which can also be construed as a lesson to budding editors of the gains and the pitfalls to be encountered in this profession.
