Reimagining Heroines of Rabindranath Tagore, with Drag ‘I felt to place myself as Chitrangada and climb up trees and rocks’
An evening while sipping a lebu cha with two samosas, in my early college days when I see the name ‘Chandalika’, a play written by Rabindranath Tagore listed to be premiered the very next day. I force a couple of friends who manage to get the tickets and watched the entire show. That was the very first time I was introduced to the Heroines of Rabindranath Tagore.
It was a little amusing to be a south Indian Telegu kid in love with Tagore’s Bengali literature. Half my life has been spent in Bengal since I was born, and was accustomed to so much inward culture by travelling to corners of the state, that I still joke around with friends that I am a converted Bengali if something like that is real.
