In the Bay Area, Sujit Saraf is best known as the founder, director and creative head of the Indian theatre company Naatak which recently celebrated its 25th production. But Sujit also works full time at Lockheed Martin as a research scientist and has recently published a novel. He has also directed feature films.
An author, a playwright , a director and a scientist… Sujit Saraf wears many hats and wears them all well.
I met him for lunch at Dee Dee’s, a no-frills place in Mountain that is authentically Indian, not unlike the subject of my interview.
We had just an hour so I jumped right to it. My first question was, “Who do you see yourself as - a scientist an artist or a director?”
His unassuming reply was, “I’m a writer. ‘Artist’ is a pompous term. And my directorial skills would not stand scrutiny when set beside the skills of others known for that. However, I believe I compete with distinction in the art of writing”. His novel “The Peacock Throne” has just been picked up by Sceptre for distribution in Europe and India.
