Seeking the sacred feminine | Irwin Allan Sealy's 'Flying Yoginis'

With 10 much-lauded books and a Padma Shri to his name, author Irwin Allan Sealy could take himself quite seriously. But nonchalance is his calling card. Ensconced in his retreat in Dehradun, the rather reclusive writer manages to mix the profound and the mundane. As he puts it, “Jhaaru-pochha is excellent for thinking: sociology unravels there.” According to Sealy, if a writer can’t be alone, he’s better off working for a newspaper.
