AUTHOR OF THE BOOK

Berty Ashley is a molecular biologist with the Dystrophy Annihilation Research Trust and
works with rare genetic disorders. What is not rare though is to see him conducting quizzes or
attending them. He is the author of the popular ‘Easy Like Sunday Morning’ series of quizzes
published in The Hindu Sunday Magazine. Berty is also a lover of music—not only playing but
collecting, as is evident by his growing stack of vinyl records of Jazz, Prog, Hindustani and Heavy
metal music. He and his partner, Akhila, live in Bengaluru, surrounded by books, music and an
assortment of pens and guitars.
Akhila Phadnis is a freelance translator. She holds a Masters in Translation Studies from
Durham University, UK, and also in Psychology from Madras University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
She enjoys reading, practicing calligraphy, learning new languages, quizzing, board games and
taking long walks by the beach.
