Arty in an excerpt

City-based artist Geetanjali Chatrath was asked a set of droll questions. And this is how she fared.

1) If you weren’t doing what you were doing, what would you be doing?
I would have been making shoes for Cinderellas i.e. us, girls.

2) True love, eternal youth, or a million bucks? What would you pick in 10 seconds?
True love, a millions times. After all I’m married mine!

3) Your current obsession?
Working with acrylics combined with other mediums. Truly loving the process!

4) The sleaziest pick-up line used by you/on you?
This was used on me. And he said, “If you are here, I don’t know how heaven would look like.” Yikes!

5) Take us through an instance of a date gone real bad...
I once shook my date’s hand when we were saying goodbye. That was profoundly awkward.

6) Art to you is? Explain it to your grandmum?
Art is life, or more precisely it’s man’s (or woman’s) response to being alive. I cannot give a better definition than this. You exist therefore you express yourself. #Staycreative

7) The most bizarre response you received when you told someone that you perform live for a living?
“Wo toh theek hai but job kya karte ho.”

8) A fashion trend you wouldn’t dare even on a gunpoint?
Leather pants, never!

9) What’s playing on the loop?
Major Lazer & DJ Snake - Lean On

10) A compliment that you never really understood?
You inspire me. And strangers, probably. And, friends and stalkers. You are the inspiration to many!
