NSCS Staff: Spotlight on Mishri Someshwar
This week, my pic for the Staff Spotlight is Mishri Someshwar, the NSCS Coordinator for Outreach and Communications. Mishri works on many different projects, including writing and sending out press releases to our chapters across the country, and helping to put together invitations in the spring. Here’s a little more about Mishri:
What’s your favorite color?
I have two—black and white. They’re classic, elegant and soothing—what’s not to love?
What’s your favorite food?
I like bold, strong flavors. So I like everything from paella to southern Indian fish curries, Thai food to Italian.
What’s your favorite movie?
In terms of pure repeat-watching, Bridget Jones’ Diary or Addicted to Love.
What’s your all-time favorite TV show?
Coupling. It’s a British sitcom about three couples. I can watch it over and over; the writing never ceases to amaze me.
Who would you most like to meet?
The Dalai Lama. I think he’s the closest thing to divinity on earth.
Other than Washington, D.C., where else would you like to live?
I’d love to live in London or Sydney. I was raised in India, so both the UK and Australia have a strong influence on us.
What’s the best book you’ve ever read?
Fiction—Vanity Fair. It’s got everything I love—the historic angle, socio-cultural issues, a brilliant plot and superb writing.
Non-fiction—The Long Walk to Freedom, which is Nelson Mandela’s autobiography. I’ve always admired Mandela, and the book just added to that.
If you could attend any event in history, what would it be?
Tough one! Either the Gettysburg address or Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech.
If you were the leader of the free world, what’s the first thing you’d do?
Outlaw “enhanced interrogation” and restore Habeas Corpus in its entirety.
Krispy Kreme or Dunkin’ Donuts?
Krispy Kreme. I’ve had bad experiences with Dunkin’ Donuts’ donuts.
