I don’t share my chocolates with anyone, I hope to be a space tourist someday, I love to sleep and will do anything to break my own record of sleeping for a straight 14 hours as a kid.

What’s your greatest fear?

Nothing, really.

High point of your life?

Quite literally, climbing a tough pass in Ladakh -it was over 5400 meters high!

I can answer this when I fulfil my dream of going deep-sea diving ????

Can’t think of any!

Who is your favorite fictional villain?

Napoleon, the Pig in Animal Farm

Who are your favorite authors?

That’s easy – Fyodor Dostoevsky and Orhan Pamuk

Is there a book you love to reread?

Not really. ‘Coz there are so many other books waiting to be read and I’m already running out of mortal time!!

What are your 5 favorite movies of all time?

Before Sunrise and The Bridges of Madison County left a deep impact on me at many levels. Otherwise, I can watch most movies by Gulzar over and over again!

Silence or music?

Silence, mostly.

One phrase that you use most often?

It’s a word, not phrase – Bloody . . .and it has made me the butt of quite a few jokes at home!

No, although I think I should make one up . . .just for fun.

Whodunnits and Archies comics

Do you have one sentence of advice for new writers?

Read stuff that you would not normally think of writing about.

Priya Narayanan is a designer, writer, traveler and mother…. not necessarily in that order. When not practicing and teaching design, she likes to travel solo and read everything that comes her way. A poet and children’s author, she loves conjuring stories for her forever-at-war brats over many cups of coffee and chocolate chip ice cream.
