Books
My zodiac sign is Taurus.
a. I hate cooking. b.I love watching movies all by myself. c. Given a choice , I would curl up with a book all day long.
My greatest fear is that children will stop reading books in their original form and will watch only the movie versions.
My greatest achievement to date is the publication of my two books “ APPAKA” and’ CLIMBING RAINBOWS”.
High point in my life-when my daughters were placed in my hands when I was still groggy from the anaesthesia after a cesarean section.
I don’t want to talk about it. There are several ”lows” in my life.
RATAN TATA – for his principles, professionalism and empathy.
Harper Lee ,of course.
Darcy ( Pride and Prejudice) .
Heathcliff ( Wuthering Heights ) –a majestic villain / Byronic hero
a.To Kill A Mocking Bird b. Angela’s Ashes c . I Am Malala d. Jerusalem - The Biography e. Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl
a. Schindler’s List b. A Beautiful Mind c. Gran Torino d. Shawshank Redemption e. The Mirror has Two faces
a magic wand and make children read and read .
My epitaph should read “ Here lies an innately good person, whose passion for life, books and people helped her see the world in its myriad moods” .
”Go and get it.”
I wish I could illustrate my own books.
SREELATHA RADHAKRISHNAN holds a post-graduate degree in English Literature and teaches English. As a hobby, she has occasionally dabbled in writing for magazines and college brochures. It was only when she began reading stories out aloud to her grandchildren on her visits to the US, that she discovered the art of story-telling. She loved their reactions, especially when she acted out the stories using funny voices. She also noticed that the details she added caught their fancy more than the actual text. That was when she realized that she too, could tell a story.
Mentored by the famous children's’ writer, Santhini Govindan, SreeLatha’s first book, Appaka, featured illustrations by award-winning illustrator, Muraleedharan. It has since been translated into eight languages. Climbing Rainbows is her second foray into writing for children. This time it is a compilation of stories about how children face and cope with life’s difficult situations.
