She has also co-authored a handbook on adoption. She has been writing "City Lights", a fortnightly column, for ''The Hindu'' Metro Plus since 2002. ==Writing style== Meena's writing style is stark, refreshing and friendly. In her own words, "Writing is so deliberate, one is working at it all the time, trying to create an effect, so there’s less spontaneity, but at the same time, one is also saying it out aloud in one's head, telling the story to an imaginary audience. I love telling stories, and hearing stories; I am a shameless eavesdropper, and I can be totally poker-faced; I can even hear things said in an undertone." Charumathi Supraja reckons after doing an interview with her, "Meena decimates stereotypes in her writing. She etches out real “characters” in her stories. There’s a swagger to her writing that’s not conceited – just original. You’ll find a chuckle beneath many a line. Lush, leisurely descriptions don’t fit Meena’s writing persona. But don’t expect to drop the book till you’ve followed every twist, sparkle and glint in her neatly laid out story."〔 Meena was influenced by T G Vaidyanathan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「C K Meena」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
