My Television show
03.02.09 (6:30 pm)   [edit]
I am doing a Tamil Television show called 'Thikkatra Dhevathaikal' in Vasanth TV. 'Thikkatra Dhevathaikal' is a poetic word in Tamil, which means Abandoned Angels. Yes, the show is about abandoned Transgenders in Tamilnadu. It is a first person account of Transgender women who had suffered discrimination in the hands of society. How they struggled and overcame all hurdles to lead a normal life is the theme of the show. I question different Transgender women on their life struggles. It is an attempt to show the public what our lives is all about. The show is well received.

While interviewing many transgenders, I was deeply moved to hear their personal tragedies - stories of molestation, harassment, physical attack and brutal rape. Many of them have lost their lover/partner after their being out as Transwomen. Relationships break, families throw them out, society pulls them into its vortex of stigma and dark life.

What life these women have lead. A life of pain, disappointment, fear, hunger, homelessness and poverty. On top of it, many of them have also been sold/cheated by the Rowdy/Goonda clans of Transgenders who also exist. Many of my own friends whom I interviewed for the TV show, had been once sold to brothel houses in Mumbai. Their struggles are unbelievable. They had escaped after many horrible experiences. There are still many transgenders caught up in the brothel houses. I know one such case too. These poor souls who are caught up should rescued. DEFINITELY.

Congratulations on the show Kalki, so sad to hear about the pain and suffering at the hands of others, unfortunately there is discrimination all over the world.

Dear Kalki,
i was at the panel discussion held at SPACES, Besant nagar on 20/06/09...was invited by my junior and friend Anirudh vasudevan. i must confess that altho' i'm well educated (am currently doing my Ph.D at madras university) i was woefully illiterate when it concerns the third gender and homosexuals. i had tears in my eyes during the performances that were held after the panel discussion. and ur play with suresh (sory if i got the name wrong)was GREAT!!! u are just amazing!!! really a SUPERWOMAN!!! thank u so much for expanding my horizons and thinking out of the selfish little world that i have inhabited all these years. I hope i have the pleasure to meet u personally one of these days. i wish u all the very best!!! may u be a guiding light for all those who have been shunned by society. there is much ignorance about transgenders and homosexuals and so much darkness to be dispelled!!! GOD BLESS U!!!!!
