Following the 2025 Chennai International Book Fair, The Times of India, which I was surprised to learn is the largest-selling English language newspaper in the world, invited me in for an interview.

All of this was followed by an extended bilingual video interview, which I’m delighted to share here. They’ve added English subtitles for the Tamil sections of the interview:
My gratitude to the entire staff of the Times of India Chennai office for their hospitality, preparation, and insightful questions.
