How did Anand behave when he was on his 'inventing binges'?
When Anand was on his 'inventing binges,' he became completely absorbed in his work.
He would take apart all the gadgets in the house to collect parts for his inventions. His room was transformed into 'a network of wires, springs, levers, and bulbs' with an enormous control switchboard.
He made loud noises—'hammering and sawing and clattering'—and even neglected his appearance, not combing his hair when his mother didn't notice.
He wouldn't let anyone into his room during these creative phases.
