Painter Anjolie Ella Menon and her husband Raja Menon will feature
on this week's Face to Face on BBC World. The couple reminisces
about their charming love story, their long courtship and their
marriage in the face of opposition from their families. They also
share their experiences and how they have both managed to keep up
with their respective careers. The show airs on 2 August at 10 pm
and on 3 August at 12 pm.
Anjolie
points out that being Raja's wife, she had some interesting exhibitions
at several places around the world. Raja Menon retired as an Admiral
in the Indian navy and is now considered one of India's foremost
strategic thinkers. Though Anjolie feels that the second career
is better suited to him, Raja says: "I don't think I could have
done the second career at an earlier age, because at an earlier
age there was this whole business of driving a submarine, riding
horses and ocean sailing and all that physical aspect which I wouldn't
have missed for anything. In later years yes, I mean once you've
been through all this you can pretend to be the wise thinker."
This series of Face to Face is sponsored by Oriental Insurance.
