book want obscure
I want my books to sell, to be read. I'm not interested in being obscure.
writing thinking trivia
It is exciting to write about the present once one gets beyond the trivia of the moment. As a time to live in, as a time to think about, the present is intriguing.
asking-questions shy answering-questions
In general, questions are fine; you can always seize upon the parts of them that interest you and concentrate on answering those. And one has to remember when answering questions that asking questions isn't easy either, and for someone who's quite shy to stand up in an audience to speak takes some courage.
eye artist chinese
In a painting, you can't make out whether the artist painted the left eye before the right eye. In Chinese calligraphy, you can see the progression of the artist's stroke.
writing years cases
I spent many years of my life as an economist and demographer. I was finally distracted by writing my novels and poetry. I'm enormously happy that was the case. I feel that with writing I have found my metier.

You get your inspiration - suggestions - wherever you have to, even from your mother.

I don't think people give Indian society enough credit. We may not like to talk much about things but we do, basically, want to live and let live.

I don't pick and choose subjects or settings; they pick and choose me.
silly might dear
Dear though the reader might be, I'd be silly to cater to what the reader wanted.
prayer moving iron
All over India, all over the world, as the sun or the shadow of darkness moves from east to west, the call to prayer moves with it, and people kneel down in a wave to pray to God. Five waves each day - one for each namaaz - ripple across the globe from longitude to longitude. The component elements change direction, like iron filings near a magnet - towards the house of God in Mecca.
jobs giving-up writing
Why do writers, say, give up a job in economics and decide to write poetry? Or, why do they give up a job in a bank and decide to paint, like Krishan Khanna? They want to convey something.
