Living in a deadline-centric world, Meenakshi lyer freelance for The South Asian Times, a US-based weekly. The job of a journalist, she thinks, is about living in a charged, high-voltage atmosphere where newsfeeds that jerk awake mind and spirit are more important than plain, bodily feeds.
A keen South Asia observer, she covered developments in Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Pakistan during her days at The Hindustan Times (www.hindustantimes.com). Her stint in mainstream media woke her to the inner up rootedness and unerasable scars of the mind bequeathed to the people by crass, divisive politics and policy makers of the subcontinent.
After having travelled across the country, from Maharashtra to Kashmir, from Tamil Nadu to West Bengal, she has now settled in New Delhi. When not working, she spends time with books, more books, and exchanges ideas with like-minded people. She dreams of meeting General Pervez Musharraf someday... in flesh and blood, not in fiction.
