“For heaven sake, please don’t ask him ‘Why this?’ unless you’re ready for a harangue for the next five minutes about the conditions that determined the name.
“Ask him which came first? The chicken or the egg. And get ready to face an onslaught about proto egg and proto chicken.
“Ask him anything and every answer is conditional. Never a straight ‘yes’ or ‘no’. A thoroughly confused human species (or some other species?)”
– The wife.

Because I am a firm believer of ‘You-just-cannot-connect-all-the-dots’ school of thought. So everything is conditional. Also, I am frightfully philosophical. A half-an-hour talk and you may be tempted to think I am straight out of a loony bin. Take a closer look. You might see a different me. (Of course, not very different from your first impression)

I am an author, writer, a goddamn idiot…. and … oh! Yes!! …Very human too (most of the time)

Jonathan Livingston (the sea gull)

P.G. Wodehouse, Henry Cecil, Jeffrey Archer, Arthur Hailey, Irwin stone, Irwin Wallace and scores of others.

Your epitaph would read? /Last line in your biography would be?

Last line in my biography? … Look for order in chaos; Music in cacophony; Divine blessing in anathema … You will find them all there, hidden.

When and where do you write ?

I am not a compulsive or an irresistible natural writer. I think I can write when I am determined to write. Anytime, anywhere. (May be that the quality becomes debatable)

Silence or music?

There’s music in silence too.

One phrase that you use most often?

All in good time.

Do you have one sentence of advice for new writers?

Write only if you must.

Ever the academic, with leanings towards the IT sector, Srinivasa Gopal completed his B.Tech from IIT-Madras and then went on to do his M.S. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Regina, Canada, for which he even received the prestigious Governor General of Canada’s academic medal in 1992. Since then, he has worked for several leading multinational firms in India and in the U.A.E. The author has always loved writing as a leisure activity, and ‘Project S.A.I.’ is his first work of fiction. Like all Indians, he loves Indian food, Indian culture and is a great fan of the Indian cricket team, even staying up-to-date on all current cricket statistics. His greatest influences are Srinivasa Ramanujan and scientists such as Werner Heisenberg, Wolfgang Pauli, Alan Turing and Albert Einstein.
