Favorite Authors:

As a child, Jim Corbett and his tales of hunting in the Himalayas. Corbett was an Englishman who loved India. A national park is name after him.

Also my father, Dr. Sita Ram Bagla, was a geographer and a prolific writer of academic books. From observing him I knew that writing was a lonely and demanding vocation.

As a teenager, Bertrand Rusell: I admired his clear and compact thinking.
