Meena Kandasamy’s Children Gatecrash Her Conference And Leave Us Smiling

 Meena Kandasamy, writer and scholar, posted a video from a gender studies conference at Patna Women's College, which elicited a lot of positive feedback from the internet. The author is seen answering a question posed by the video call's host in the first few seconds of the video. Later, her son interrupts her just as she tries to answer.

Meena Kandasamy shared a video clip from her conference meeting on Twitter and wrote, "This happened a few weeks ago. My kids decided to gatecrash the Zoom meeting at a gender studies conference at Patna Women's College, where I was doing the Q & A. sharing the humiliating yet funny video."

The moderator can be heard urging Kandasamy to take up the last question in a video she published on Twitter. "The decision is yours. It is OK if you are willing to respond to the questions. But, because you are sleepy, I'm going to suggest we take the last question, " says the moderator. In the video the writer then adds, "I'll address the last question." However, she is interrupted by events at home. She's also heard saying to her kids, "Eyy, Kutty, one minute da," before returning to the conference. She takes a break and gets out of the chair to look for her children.

Meanwhile, the moderator smiles, and when Kandasamy returns, she requests that the writer include her children as well. With huge grins on their faces, two tiny boys appear in front of the screen. One of them inquires about the moderator's identity. "No, will not," one of the kids responds flatly when Kandasamy asks whether they will depart so she can work.
