I've covered a lot of ground geographically and emotionally and for years I lost my connection with my family. But the best comfort you can have whether you are on the phone or sitting there in the living room with them is with your parents and to me family has always meant protection. When you smile you get a smile back unconditionally.
In my family as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up science and mathematics were held in awe.
I grew up a Red Sox fan. I grew up going to Fenway Park and the Museum of Fine Arts and the Science Museum and Symphony Hall and going to the Common walking around. My whole family at different times lived and worked in Boston.

I was sad to see anybody leave we had a very nice family on that show. I was very sad to see momma go Victoria and especially Linda. My god that was my wife on the show in fact my wife calls her wife.
My great-grandfather was in the army in India and we have photographs of my family there in full Victorian dress. They're incredibly romantic.
The romantic idea is that everybody around a writer must suffer for his talent. I think a writer is a citizen of humanity part of his nation part of his family. He may have to make some compromises.
Well being that at the house and being in the competition it was very hard to be with family. We couldn't have visitors out of respect for everyone else there. But being the American Idol the focus would have been on me.
