Meera Kesavan

I am Meera Kesavan, a lawyer, poet, writer, contemporary theatre actress and storyteller from Kochi, Kerala. Born into an ordinary family, I spent years trying to be a good girl for everyone, only to lose sight of myself along the way. Yet, I continue to believe in humanity, love, equality and the goodness in people. With a postgraduate degree in Social Work and years of legal practice, I am drawn to the untold stories behind human lives. My English poetry collection, Unpacking The Soul (Between the Chains & the Wings), explores womanhood, identity, relationships and the longing for freedom. My Malayalam book, കേശുവിന്റെ സുവിശേഷങ്ങൾ എന്റെയും, reflects on motherhood and the profound lessons children teach us.Since beginning my theatre and writing journey in 2023, I've discovered new ways to express emotions and connect with audiences. An avid backpacker, I find freedom in unplanned journeys, the sea and the changing skies. Through my creative pursuits, I question conventions, celebrate life's complexities, and remind people that even after losing themselves, they can find their way home.

“Still, I walk on - with the bags not always mine, but with strength I never knew I had. - "Unpacking The Soul (Between The Chain and The Wings)”
