I am an angel investor too , was one of only three girls in a batch of 300 at IIT Delhi, and lost my father very young
Losing a loved one, I lost my father at a very young age and that has profoundly affected me.
Creating the character and the blog based on the ambling Indian ( a common woman of India) - it is both a passion and an achievement .
My husband – he brings much laughter into daily situations.
Losing my father , I cannot get over it , even decades later. Keep imagining what life would have been like with him.
Hard to say, Bill Gates and Shahrukh Khan mostly. Both for their vision, business acumen and philantrophy
Tintin , and of course Snowy.
Don’t have one.
Hard to pick a few – there are so many: Herge ( Tintin), James Herriott, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Margaret Mitchell, Dale Carnegie, Mario Puzo, Robin Cook.
Tintin Series, All of James’ Herriott and Sherlock Holmes, Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, Coma, Airport by Arthur Hailey, and How to make friends and influence people.
The James Herriott Series and Sometimes Brilliant by Larry Brilliant. I read these and was fascinated.
The Godfather, Gone with the Wind, Jab We Met, Devdas ( the new one), Pygmalion, Notting Hill.
To completely erase poverty, suffering and disease from the world.
Lived and loved life.
India and England- Have lived in both countries and enjoyed both. Perhaps to the period when my father was alive.
Painting . I can draw somewhat , but want to be really good at it.
Perhaps the Tintin comics.
At home, in my study, or in the car. When inspiration strikes and drops from the heavens.
I love silence- it is beautiful.
Touch wood. I am deeply thankful for everything and superstitious too!
The first day of the year, my birthday and any good day- I believe that whatever I do, including writing, will repeat in the year. Funny isn’t it?
Astrology, love to read predictions of planetary movements.
Write from the heart, clean, plain and simple !
