Stringing along Aneesh Vidyashankar

Bengaluru-based artiste Aneesh Vidyashankar, who's also popularly known as the wireless walking violinist,' answered our rapid fire.

1 If you weren’t doing what you were doing, what would you be doing?
I’d be a Formula 1 driver or a collector of vintage cars.
2 True love, eternal youth, or a million bucks?
A million bucks... the other two things can be acquired using a million!
3 What came first — the chicken or the egg?
Probably the egg? I’m a vegetarian so I’m not really concerned about the chicken.
4 The sleaziest pick-up line used by you or even on you?
Not really a sleaz magnet...
5 Music to you is? And if you were to explain it to your grand mum, how would you do it?
Music is about connecting souls, and that’s about it... Considering my family values, she’d give me an earful if I tried to upstage her!
7 A fashion trend you wouldn’t even do on gunpoint?
Wearing anything with studs. Basically anything that’s very bling and jazzy is not what I’d wear. EVER.
8 A guilty pleasure?
Chocolates. They ruin your teeth and are very calorie heavy. But I just can’t say no to them!
9 Something about you that people are better off not knowing?
My handwriting... it’s plain embarrassing.
10 What brings tears to your eyes?
When I see joy on people’s faces after a performance.
11 What would your tombstone read as?
Not sure about the message... but it’s surely going to have a violin embedded into it!
12 Your biggest pet peeves?
Unprofessional-ism and dirt ( Oh, I have OCD) so yeah.

— Aneesh will be a guest speaker at the wedding meet up at Atta Galatta on September 18 .
