Have you ever lost a shoe and gone looking for it? Not Kiran Bedi. Not Gandhiji. Kiran Bedi, Tihar...   How to Lose a Shoe As the train arrived, I ran to the nearest women’s compartment. I wriggled my way through the crowd and found myself a place to stand. I had to travel a lot in those days as I played competitive tennis.
