This is an excellent read. Thanks for sending it, Gopal.

What irks me however are the poses that the photographer has had ARR do. The 
regular pics are fine. It's just the 'Titanic' pose, and the 
reclining-in-deep-thought pose in his studio that are annoying. I do recognize 
that it's simply awesome to capture an artist in his moment of peace or 
excitement or elation. But it's downright insulting to set up all this with a 
fake moment. Is there anyone who thinks those two pictures were ARR's own 
genuine actions/pose?

ARR being such a humble and down-to-earth person went out of the way to oblige 
them. The interview even mentions his discomfort in posing for the pictures. 
I'm glad ARR stood his ground in not granting them what they wanted in the 
picture with his wife. It's a shame that for all the great nuggets in the 
article it had to be marred by those artificial poses. Don't these fellows have 
anything like a journalistic integrity?

                               This is a must-read, features an interview with 
his wife too.... And catch him doing a 'I am the king of the world' pose on the 
terrace of his house
