I wish to hold gender seminars in colleges of Kerala
06.29.08 (5:45 pm)   [edit]
Kerala is a very male dominated state. I have never heard any stories of successful transwoman from the state. They are all fearfully hiding and can not struggle with the powerful dominations of men. Moreover, the state has its own culture which wouldn't fit even for the survival of the transgendered women.

I have met many pre-operated transsexual girls from Kerala and what I can find from them first is the way they hide their sexual identities. Thats so sad that they just can't be themselves. Atleast the next generation of trnaswomen should be bold and brave enough to come out openly and live successfully in their gender identities. Kerala should change and be embracing to times of change. I am crossing my fingers and waiting to visit the universities and colleges of Kerala and offer its students workshops/talks on gender expressions and transgender issues.

I will be writing to the colleges from tommorrow.

Dreams into realities...
06.20.08 (11:15 pm)   [edit]
The whole month has been quite a busy month with a lot of activities on transgender issues and travelling, media interviews and attending meetings etc. Very fruitful month. It is so much fun indeed. Rose and I have planned a lot together and we hope to bring all our dreams into reality.

But besides all these, I have my mission which is burning like a shining light in my heart. My heart goes to the desperate people. I will have to do a lot for the transgender community. I would also include girl child and abandoned women in my role as an activist. Certianly I need to voice for them. Because a woman understands transwoman much better than a man does.

Moreover, I don't want to expect people to fund me for all the good causes I wish to do for the transcommunity. I will be commercially successful and will have to use my own resources to offer better lives to fellow sisters who are in need. Times are changing and transgirls need to stand up.

Kalki plays the Divine Music of SvaraVeena
06.06.08 (6:18 pm)   [edit]
Svaram, Auroville gifted me with this wonderful SvaraVeena last year for helping them in their project to reach internationally through the website and other promotion work I did for them.

"The SvaraVeeena represents a whole class of ancient and folk string-instruments wherein each string stands for a single note without the possibility of altering the string length and pitch through fingering or frets." Check the project I worked : www.svaram.org

I have a great passion for this SvaraVeena.

The exclusive story about me..
06.05.08 (4:35 pm)   [edit]
The exclusive story about me that appeared in The New Indian Express - Expresso issue on Monday (02-06-2008) was well written and very beautiful. I am happy that Anju, the young lady who interviewed me grasped my points very clearly. For me, what is very important is the message about Transgenders has to be out and clear. She did exactly that.

Though I was a little nervous, I did speak my mind and she was great. I love the press. A lot of youths in the press are doing fabulous job. Indeed, I have my Major in Journalism and Mass Communication. Wouldn't I love the media then? For the past few years, the press and the television media have been very good to the transgendered community. I am very satisfied about that. Many transgendered girls have to come and and showcase their talents in the limelight. It helps to break the myths about Transwomen.
