Moorkkanaat Krishnankutty Menon (23 June 1928 – 13 May 1993),[1] better known by his pen name Vilasini, was an Indian writer from Kerala who wrote in Malayalam-language.
In 1953 he left for Singapore where he started his life as the editor of the English monthly called Indian Movie News.
He made his debut as a novelist with the book Niramulla Nizhalukal (1965) which gives a vivid description of the lives of Malayalis in Singapore during the Second World War.
As a novel that narrates the entire story through what passes in the minds of characters Oonjal is considered remarkable.
Vilasini also translated many novels into Malayalam, including Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo and The Blind Owl (Boof-e koor) by Sadegh Hedayat.
