                                        Of all the things unsaid. The other side of mom. Left): Ranju Bhatia;. Interviewing someone close to you is an experience on its own. I realised that last month when I interviewed my mom for a story. Mom is a Hindi writer. For a story on 'Is Hindi literature dying amongst the youth', my editor suggested we arrange a dialogue between her and a young author. Although a bilingual, the young writer chose to write in Hindi.

I drive back into the past quite often,. To meet him and look at his sparkling eyes. I admire that loving ever-smiling face,. The brimming confidence and an achiever's pace. What do you think?
