Atima Srivastava Interviewed by Mary Conde

4 October 1995, London Atima is a very pretty name. Is it common in India? Thank you! No, it's very unusual. It means 'Light after light after light after light' (perhaps 'transcendence' is the nearest equivalent in English) and it's the name of a famous book of poems m India. Actually my friends call me Tim, and my family calls me Timmy.
