Sometimes I walk down the aisle of a bookstore and stumble upon a book that draws me in…once I open it, I just can’t keep it back!
Maybe it was the bearded gentleman on the cover with a welcoming smile or the outright audacious title or the index. Yes, it was the index that stirred something in me. I thought this man must be crazy! But that’s how I stumbled upon “Let me hijack your mind” at Sapna book house on a chilly Bangalore evening last winter.
Very unusual…no? Oh! Wait, there’s more.
The book was not easy to read because it made me feel so uncomfortable! Though I felt deeply inspired by Alyque Padamsee‘s extraordinary contributions in so many domains, especially advertising and theatre. The ideas, arguments and questions being asked to me in the book shook my intellectual foundation of everything all at once!
Still, this ended up being my most highlighted, scribbled-on-the-margins, messy doodled book.
Well, Life sent me a reward when I found out that Vandana Saxena Poria, the coauthor would be speaking in Bangalore so I made sure I attended it. She was a bundle of energy, welcoming and had so much to share. When I went up to her after the talk…we vibed instantly! I did this interview soon after and I am excited to share it with you. Please, enjoy our conversation.
