interview with anuradha

q. what do you like about vineet the most?

i've always like reticent boys who are spectacle-wearing geeks...i mean the handsome ones, of course. and vineet's just my type so...

q. why do you like literature?

i've always liked reading ever since i was a kid. by the time i was 14, i had already finished reading all the books in my neighbourhood's library, classics included. plus, i really liked analyzing prose and poetry and the devices used to enhance it's beauty. i'm passionate about all these things.

q. chocolate or vanilla?

of course, vanilla! that's the superior flavor!

q. vineet earlier said that it was a rather bland flavor and chocolate was better...

...i'll have a talk with him later :)

q. vineet has written paper planes to you. have you ever written anything of the sort back to him?

i consider my published book as a love letter for him. everything in that book was entirely based off him.

q. what's the name of the book you've published?

physics and love.

q. has your views on physics changed over the years?

absolutely not. that is the one thing that will remain as constant as planck's constant :)

q. what do you like about being a teacher?

i think being a teacher helps you meet all sorts of people with diverse minds and ideas. in terms of writing, studying and observing people like that really helps when i plot my characters.

in terms of pure teaching, helping students see how literature can be really interesting and encouraging reading habits is the part i really like about being a teacher.

q. last question, what's your favourite memory with vineet?

the first time we went to the beach to celebrate vineet's birthday has got to be my most favourite memory.

hours after the interview, vineet was lectured about vanilla being the better flavor.
