-------- Mississauga News,from the book launch on 28th Feb.20 10 - Hindi Poet connects Cultures - J.P. Antonacci March 01, 2010, ---------
...Chopra showcased poetry and paintings that reflect her Indian heritage and Canadian experience, in an approach Indian Consul M.P. Singh called unselfconsciously multicultural. Mississauga-Brampton South MP, Navdeep Bains acknowledged how anxious everyone, himself included, was to watch Canada take on the United States, but noted that the presence of so many writers, artists and well-wishers from the Hindi community and beyond was a sign of support for the cross-cultural connections Chopra advocates.I consider Meena not only a poet and an artist, but a bridge-builder, said Bains of Chopra, She does not recognize any borders her experiences are universal, agreed Suman K. Ghai, a longtime friend and co-founder of the Hindi Writers Guild.
