She wears several hats with remarkable ease

"Lalitha Ravindran is a multi-faceted personality. An extremely confident person for starters; that influences her other attributes. A book critic, panel discussion moderator, a businesswoman and a highly sociable person who makes friends easily. She has perfected the art of making and keeping friends and admirers. It is not easy to write about a person in glowing terms without inviting censure for being biased in the lady’s favour. I have done so with good reason. Unless one knows her closely it will not be able to observe her in her various facets of conduct. She wears several hats with remarkable ease. I consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to know her well."
