 | We met Padmanabhan at the India International Centre, New Delhi, recently, and chatted about books, drawing, and her nomadic existence—mainly between Chennai, where her mother lives, and her own “home” in Newport, Rhode Island, in the US—over a cuppa.

| An abiding concern of your writing is the dissonance between the East and the West. Why does it fascinate you so?
Because I grew up living elsewhere. By the time I was old enough to realize that there was no country in which I could actually feel “at home” I had grown accustomed to thinking about the space between these worlds, East/West, North/South as the natural space for me to be in. Nowadays, when people ask me where I live, I say “The airport”.
