I loved history in my school days, and I have always been a voracious reader. But in India, you end up doing MBA, engineering or medicine.

I am a voracious reader, so it's difficult for me to give a list of my favourite authors of all time.

I'd been bumming around in bands since my school days.

Fortunately, I grew up in a traditional family where questioning was encouraged, particularly by my pandit grandfather. We are all voracious readers, seeking knowledge. I learn a lot from discussions with my wife, siblings and parents.

India has a long tradition of reinterpreting religious myths.

During my school days, I was doing a play, and my costume fell on the stage. I really wish it didn't happen.
