If you haven’t read Vir Sanghvi’s ‘A Rude Life’, you must. Don’t wait for the cheaper, paperback edition. It’s written in his easy, inimitable style. Is he really rude? Well, not quite. But, yes, saying DNA (the newspaper) was called by VRS was a bit much.

Q. Vir Sanghvi has titled his memoirs ‘A Rude Life’. If you were to write a similar tome, what would you title it?

A. You must be joking. I am nowhere in the league of Vir Sanghvi. In fact, I am a fan of his writings. Hence look forward to reading his book. So far as a similar tome for me is concerned, as you mentioned, I can only say that I want to remain unnoticed and I have nothing to share.
