Answer:
I primarily write because there are readers. In 1986, I wrote my first book—Matchstick Models & Other Science Experiments. It was translated in 12 Indian languages and sold close to a million copies. I was flooded with letters from children, teachers, and parents who liked the science activities. This inspired me to write more.

In India, rare is a school which has a science lab. All science is learned by rote. Children mug up definitions and formulas and spit them out in exams. The government hasn't the money to put science labs in schools. Labs with burettes, pipettes, and kids in white coats are expensive. So the science equipment is permanently locked in cupboards to gather dust. People forget that the most precious and sacred piece of apparatus in the whole lab is the child's mind!

Unlike disciplines like literature and civics, science lends itself to learning through experiments. Children are born experimenters and they learn a great deal without being taught. And this they do by using the humblest materials. In India it's amazing to see the number of toys children make using leaves, broom sticks, crown caps, match boxes, old pens, and cycle tubes. Our consumerist society produces mountains of junk—plastic bottles, ice-cream sticks, cardboard boxes, straws, tetrapaks—an endless list. Being a tinkerer I share my own passion of making toys from trash through my books with children.
