Mysore/Mysuru: Dr. N. Someshwar of Doordarshan’s Kannada programme ‘That Antha Heli’ fame presented excerpts from his life at the Mysuru Literature Festival yesterday. During the panel discussion, he answered questions posed by scientist and writer Kollegal Sharma and the audience, sharing his childhood, education and his interest in science and literature.
There are two main reasons for his interest in science. Firstly, his father, a close friend of eminent scholar Purushottam, had an extensive collection of books. Despite the books being damaged by heavy rain, he was intrigued by Madame Curie and Thomas Alva Edison’s biographies, which he managed to edit and read.
