Get to know... Savio Mascarenhas

Currently, I am

Launching our Holiday Special and back from Comic Con.

High point in life

Taking forward Vasant Halbe’s legacy and getting to draw Shikari Shambu in 1997.

Low point in life

We waited too long to go digital. I regret that.

On my playlist

The Gambler, by Kenny Rogers; everything by Jim Reeves.

On my speed dial

My wife.

Today I’m craving

My special shakshuka.

Last thing I ordered online

A cotton-linen kurta from Fab India.

Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self

Start a little shop in your village in Goa. And convert it into an art cafe later.

A secret skill I have

Whistling.

A superpower I wish I had

Flying.

My favourite Sunday memory while growing up

Birdwatching near my home in Goa.

My most star-struck moment so far

Meeting Ram Waeerkar, creator of Suppandi and Vasant Halbe, creator of Shambu.

My favourite bad habit

Not putting my ideas down in a book.

If I could travel back or forward in time, I’d

Revisit my 10-year-old self.

I won’t leave the house without

A book.
