This one is recommended for the many urbanites who would like to have an insight on the lives of the numerous transgender, who pester us at Mythrivanam bus stand, especially when accompanied with girl friends. Yes 'being eunuch' a play by Nishumbita in Hindi enlightens all of us, of the traverses these people face. Once adored by the society are today neglected by the same. This leads them to follow dubious practices, to etch a living. The play that is scheduled for Friday at Ravindra Bharathi is a worthy attempt that needs to be commended.

The play highlights the internal politics, the power play and the feudal rules and dynamics of the guru-chela relationship that exist in the eunuch community, explored in detail. The harsh realities portrayed in a narrative fashion are the highlight of the play. About their devotion to Iravan, who sacrificed his life to ensure Pandavas victory in Mahabharat, is the most important to be known by the world. An unexpected ending with prospective suggestions, awakens the real person within. Probably if not anything else, one would, atleast sympathize with them.

Wonderful approach that has received wide applause at all venues, is out again to entertain you and if you have time this is one of the best events, for this weekend. (With inputs from internet- AW AarKay)
