DesiDabba - Boss, Thoda Sa Roomani Ho Jaye

What does one do when they get cozy in soft-Kashmiri blanket at 4.00 am? Well….most of us snore. Most of the day was passed lazing around, another important realization: Never ever have I had such intense hangover and that too with mixed-fruit juice. Sheeks! Who would have thought!

In the evening, along with some family ladies I was at Prithvi Theatre….to watch the hugely successful Obie-Award winning play, The Vagina Monologues (TVM), by Eve Ensler. The Indian adaptation is done by A Poor-Box productions and is directed by the ever-so charming Mahabanoo Mody-Kotwal.

Every time TVM is showcased at Prithvis, without an exaggeration all shows go houseful with tickets booked out many days in advance. And after experiencing first hand this 90 minutes of highly amusing yet powerful interaction, to me its immense success is truly justified. Not that I am the first one or will be the last one to say this but I sincerely recommend you all to watch TVM and believe me – the next time you hear the word, ‘V-A-G-I-N-A’, you would think of it much more than the female anatomy.

Special Mentions:

1. Chennai is full of Assholes.

2. Jayati Bhatia is simply awesome and her monologue on different kinds of orgasms is nothing short of a masterpiece.

3. My Short Skirt – the ONLY monologue which was performed in Hindi and talked about how illogical is the reason that “short skirts” are the main culprits behind gruesome crimes such as Rape and Molestation.

4. Proceeds from the play go to NGOs supporting Abused and Battered Women.

5. By watching The Vagina Monologues, you will not only be educating your brain but also pleasing your soul.
