A pencil-holder. Still stands the test of time while pencil, pen, measure and erasers had all gone or changed.

What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?

Look deep inside and you will see a couple of phone-sim eject pins too.

Help the elderly. At home and away. Whenever you can. Wherever you go.

What have you been working on?

An affair with one’s own wife in Indian marriages!

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

Amidst a bonhomie, invitation sent to hundreds and thousands and a week long festivity culminating in a marriage of two distant souls. All arranged strictly by the elders in families. The couple have never met before. Not a word spoken. Pushed into a bed overnight with a whole lot of family guarding the door near the bed. One should live in a joint family from the day next. All their life. You’re allowed only to enjoy a limited private time with your partner. I shall call it an ‘affair’ with one’s own wife. And it’s traditional here in India.
