How much was today's work influenced by your stay in Madras?
The first piece was not at all influenced by my stay in Madras, but in Delhi because it's an earlier piece. The second piece is influenced by my experiences in the last year, directly in relation to the last couple of months in Madras.

You seemed to be having a nightmare. What was it about?!
(Laughs)

You are aware of every part of your body. Is that something that came naturally to you or did you have to work towards it?
Your body is your instrument and you don't have a choice but to know every nuance of it.
