‘Writing in Kannada comes from my heart, English from my brain’

In this interview with The Hindu, talking about his new book, Srinivas shares that his interest in writing about scientific personalities, including Srinivasa Ramanujan and Albert Einstein, began in 2012 after his retirement. He emphasises the importance of making scientific literature available in regional languages like Kannada, highlighting that there is a significant gap in such resources. He believes that writing about science requires a strong understanding of both science and literature and encourages young writers to develop a reading habit to succeed in this genre.
