      Solution

      Widely acclaimed author Salman Rushdie has been honoured with the first 'Lifetime Disturbing the Peace Award' by the Vaclav Havel Center on November 14. Salman Rushdie at 76, recipient of the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade last month, ended up getting another honour, considering the irony of being honoured for "disturbing the harmony."  The function, hosted by veteran CBS journalist Lesley Stahl, occurred at the Havel centre, before known as the Vaclav Havel Library Foundation.  The 'Disturbing the Peace Award to a Courageous Writer at Risk' was presented upon Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel-Fattah.
