where I would cut vegetables, and after all the plates and things were cleared, I would sit there and start typing" ("Warrior" interview [of Kamala Surayya (a.k.a. Kamala Suraiya, Kamala Das, Madhavikutty, and Madhavi Kutty)]). This rigorous schedule took its toll upon her health, but she views her illness optimistically. It gave her more time at home, and thus, more time to write.
She is famous for her many Malayalam short stories as well as many poems written in English. This Keralite is recognized as one of the foremost poetesses of India.
