When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Work, work, work! Sometimes travel to distant lands.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
In Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. There I learnt much of what I know. I picked my language skills at my alma mater, the Good Shepherd Convent School. I guess i was a bit of a bookworm during my school and college years. Once I got into the rat-race there wasn't any time to read, write or even think.
