Superb interview blogadda! One of your best I read so far. In my profession I have to meet all kinds of ppl all the time and I’m telling you with confidence this person is a very rare combination of superior talent, art, mastery on words on one hand and humourous, common sense and most importantly down to earth humbleness on other. Hard to find these days. Hope she reaches far with her writing, all the best! Thank you for such inspiring interviews kudos to your team!

@shuchi: (Looks like our comments just crossed.) I can absolutely imagine that applying to technology (or even just driving an automobile, for that matter 😉 ). And seriously, thank you for all those fascinating tidbits on CU. Always been a fan 🙂

@neo: What can I say? Thanks 🙂 Bang on with the goddess or slave but never peer; couldn’t have said it better.
(PS: It’s time you moved on to fiction now; you seem to be getting better and better at it.)

@admin: Well put indeed. I don’t know what you never knew, but what I do (and you should) know is how wickedly neo keeps testing his readers on whether they really get his satire – don’t take the bait 😉

@suranga: Without doubt the guys are terrific writers – and without doubt, they’re lucky to be in just as august company. Take my word, none if them disagree 🙂

Lovely interview, Gauri. Q2 and your response applies as well to technology as it does to humour – I could totally relate to it. And thanks a lot for mentioning Crossword Unclued. 🙂

‘la de la vergüenza’ – I am so going to use that! 🙂

Gauri,

Its the company of the fellow bloggers that you have included me in. I generally kind of lurk around these blogs. You know how it feels when you trudge into economy, after entering in thru the business class area on flights, and feel that just once, you’d love all that legspace ?

This was like an sudden complementary upgrade ….feels good 🙂

Thanks to you ….

In reply to neo. We completely agree with @Neo's comment. Very well put. Never knew that Neo considers Gauri as his Guru. :) Awesome combo we say.

I think what scares men (and to be fair, many women too), is not the humor, but the truth; you’ve shown through your blog and tweets that true humor is humor based on truth.

And you already know this, but we men can easily deal with woman-as-a-goddess or woman-as-a-slave—what turns most men into jelly is the idea of a woman-as-a-peer-except-much-better.

Finally, I’m sure I speak for at least 30% of the men when I say I wish you would write more often.

PS: Thanks for the shout-out. Although a guru plugging a disciple’s blog does raise interesting ethical questions. 🙂

@suranga: Do you see my response to your earlier comment (from Part 1) in a different light now? 🙂 (For the record, I had already given Blogadda the entire interview before they published part 1.) Thanks so much for reading!

@shail: Write one on them 😀 At least they’ll have an official reason to not find it funny 😉 Thanks for reading!

I agree to what you have said on humor so very much, that I was afraid of nodding my head right off my neck. I have a bunch of ’em cousins (male of course) who look at me askance (and with disdain) for staking claim to satire. 😉
Thoroughly enjoyed reading your interview, both the parts. 🙂

Gauri,

Still reeling and thunderstruck at finding myself mentioned here . (Reeling at my age is difficult to come out of, and dangerous for downstairs neighbors :-)…). But thank you !

Simply loved your responses. I did play your track several times , (like the Blogaddas mention in the end), and just now played it as I read this part 2 again ! Pruthviche Premgeet by Kusumagraj and Asimov crossed with Gulzar ! Wonderful ! I also greatly identified with your answer that you gave to the question of making money out of the blog. So true .

Best wishes to you, and look forward to reading more on your blog…..
