Makes Eye contact with audience and smiles

When I was 15, there was this girl Tanya in my class.
Tanya Turns around.
The day I first saw her, I knew she was the one for me. I had never felt
like that before, I liked her . No. I loved her.
You know when you are in love for the first time, you think she is the girl
youll get married to, and if you dont you are going to die. But as you can
see, I am 21, unmarried and still alive. (smiles) Anyway, I used to dream
that well get married, have 2 kids, well name our son Rahi and our
daughter Bela and we will live in a wooden house on top of a hill in a
village in Himachal Pradesh.
But there was only one problem..I had never spoken to her. She didnt
even know that I existed. So one day I gathered enough courage and I
decided to talk to her. Now or Never. But I needed help!
So I opened my computer:
www.google.com Enter , love poems Enter, scroll down , click ,
When I open my eyes,
to see the sunrise,
I think of you
This was perfect! So I wrote it down on a piece of paper.

The next day in school I looked for her everywhere classroom, playground,
staffroom, girls water tank, toilets. But I couldnt find her anywhere. And
just when I had lost all hope
Tanya enters
I saw her.
Sachin Repeats to himself, pumping himself up : Make eye contact. Be
funny
Sachin : Hi Tanya. I am Sachin. We are in the same class?
Tanya : New boy?
Sachin : yes yes new boy. I just came from St Fidlis International School
Tanya: You have doubt?
Sachin : No no doubt . Im a good student. You know Tanya in my last school, I
used to be this really funny guy and I was really popular. Even the senior
teachers knew me. I used to make everyone laugh. But people dont know me
here so they dont know what a funny guy I am. I am really a very funny guy.

Tanya takes a step forward.

Oh shit! Now what (to audience)
Sachin : Tanya!... I wrote this for you, will you read it when you are alone?
Tanya exits.
Sachin: Yes! (Smiles)
The next day Tanya was waiting for me. I was thrilled. Lord Google had
worked!
Tanya Sachin .
Tanya hands sachin a note (exits)
Sachin opens the note excitedly
She had made notes in my poem.
When I open my eyes,
To see the sunrise,
I dont think of you.
When I feel the summer heat,
On the sand beneath my feet.
I dont think of you.

I hate you, I never want to see your face again.

Her rejection was also in the form of poetry! As you can imagine I was
heartbroken. My entire world had shattered ...but that was not the end of
the story. That day when I left school a gang of boys were waiting for me...

FIGHT
My heart was already broken, now my bones were also broken. But most
of all my self-respect was shattered. How the hell am I to face the world??
I had been beaten up that too over a girl who never wanted to see my
face again. How embarrassing yaar. But most of all I didnt know how to
face my father, he would be ashamed of me!
Father Enters
Father : See Beta! When we were young we were the protectors of the
whole colony.. If anyone needed help, they came to us and we would sort
it out.. Nobody could mess with us..We never went to our parents to
complain or ask for help. We fought our own battles.
Father Exits
I knew I had to fight back.. If I didntt everyone would think that I am a
coward and call me a sissy.. But there was one problem I was scared of
fights. I am a peace loving kind of guy you know Gandhi types?! Also I
wasnt muscular and I had no Gunda friends.
So I googled . www.google.com ENTER How to knock someone out
without killing them ENTER. Scroll down. And then I saw a link to a
video where I am being thrashed by those guys! 6722 views! What the
____!.
The video had gone viral ! Everyone had seen it . There was no turning
back. I had to prove myself. But what could I do?
So I learned some moves on youtube and made some calls and 3 of my
loyal friends came with me.
Boys Enter
The four of us took our belts and cycle-chains went looking for this boy
called Pankaj. I saw Pankaj alone. Perfect! But I felt scared. I had never

done this before, I didnt know how to fight.Actually I didnt want to fight.
But now I had these three boys with me and it was too late to back out.
Advertisement : Mardana Jacket
I saw Pankaj alone. Perfect! But I felt scared. I had never done this before,
I didnt know how to fight.Actually I didnt want to fight. But now I had
these three boys with me and it was too late to back out.
Boy: Sachin! ( hands him the jacket)
Sachin wears the jacket.
So I took off my belt and started beating him. With the first lash of the
belt, I felt my blood boil and this rage came into me that I had never felt
before. We beat him really hard and broke his bones.. I was so angry that
if I had a stone, I would have smashed his head with it.
Boys Exit
Sachin hangs the jacket back on the chair
Even today I dont know whether it was Pankaj who had come to beat me
up. But at that time it was so important for me to let everyone know that
they couldnt mess with me.
Beat
Next day when I went to school, I heard Tanya
Tanya enters sits Center Stage.
had been moved to another school because of that video. That was the
end of my short love story. I never saw her again.
Sachin turns around facing Upsatge.

Scene 5: Nehas Monologue

Neha wears the stilettos , walks across stage, takes them off .
Neha: I have an extra ear lobe. When my mom was pregnant with me,
there was a solar eclipse. My grandmother had told my mom not to go out
because it would affect the baby, but my mom didnt listen. And then I
was born, the second girl child. That in itself was a disaster. And on top of
that I had an extra ear lobe. My grandmom would tell me that no man
would marry me. Later, I started defending my earlobe by saying that only
one other person in the whole world had an extra earlobe and that was
Einstein. This was of course, a lie.
Apart from the earlobe, I was a cute child.
Things changed when I reached my teens. I was not tall enough, not thin
enough and definitely not sexy enough. I had fat thighs, big knees and
manly ankles. And my mom kept my hair really short. I didnt wear
earrings and dressed in baggy clothes and looked more like a boy. If
someone called me fat and made fun of me I would look in the mirror and
think I was the ugliest girl in the whole world, but if the next day someone
told me I was pretty, I would look in the mirror and think, yeah, I am
pretty. But still, I didnt get any cards on Valentines Day while my friends
did. I started making up for my looks by showing off my talents and good
nature. I started getting really good grades and participated in debating
and swimming. I became extra friendly and helpful so people told me I
had a pretty personality, that I was beautiful inside. They also told me that
if I tried hard enough, I could look pretty too.
Slowly I realized that if I paid a little attention to my looks, I could be
attractive. I grew my hair, got my nose pierced. It was painful but worth it.
I started putting kajal and began going to the beauty parlour. The efforts
paid off. I even found a boyfriend.
Now all these things, the kajal, the beauty parlour, the long hair have
become compulsions and obsessions that I can't do without. The rewards
are too many to let go but often I think, is this really me?

Scene 8: Vikrants Monolgue

Vikrant walks to DSR
When I was 9 or 10, all these relatives would tell me I looked like my
mother. There was this one aunt in particular who would tell me, Wow
Vikrant, you haves such long, pretty eyelashes. Can I steal them? Later
my brother would tell me, You know what they really want to say right?
you look like a girl. I would start crying and go complain to my mother.
She thought it was a big joke and this became her new anecdote for the
family. She would tell everyone, Arre you know what he told Vikrant? All
of you say he has gone on me na, that means he's a girl. HA HA HA!

Yeah.

I never really thought I was fat until I was 14 and sitting at the window
seat in the school bus. Someone from the street called out, Eh motu! I
looked around, thinking it was meant for someone else, but I was the only
person there. I went home that day and looked at myself in the mirror. I
looked at my curves, which I still have. And my man boobs which were
starting to form. I tried to straighten them to see what I would look like
without them. It was around this time that I stopped playing football. I
played as left back and I was really good. But the thought of changing
with all the other boys made me really uncomfortable. I began to think
that every boy who was skinnier than me somehow had a better life. They
were happier, richer, more popular and way better at academics. I felt like
a nobody. And even though my life is so different now and I should be
completely over all of this, I can't help feeling that if I was skinny for just
one more year, everything would be ok.

Ajitesh Auto Monologue

One night when I was riding my bike, an auto was coming in the wrong direction.
Both of us refused to slow down or give way and almost banged into each other.
As soon as the auto stopped four guys came out and started beating me up. My
first impulse was to hit back. I took my helmet to hit them but at that moment I
decided not to. Instead I told them, Listen you are wrong and beating me
doesnt make you right. I didnt give a single gali or raise my arm even once but
I stood my ground. After beating me some more, they finally left.
I noted down the auto number and went to the police station. I didnt lodge an
FIR, but I wanted to talk to them. I decided to break this cycle of violence and at
that point I felt like the most powerful person in the situation.

26
Neha Story: One night at 2 am, 4 of us girls were loitering on as relatively
lonely road in Bombay. Suddenly , a cop on a motorcycle stopped us and started
shouting at us. What are you girls doing here at this hour, you should be at
home. Can't you see there is a car full of boys following you? So I asked him," Are
we doing something wrong or are they? " " Obviously them " he said. " so why
not stop them instead of us ?" He said , " if something happens you girls will
come running to the police station . I asked him " how can the streets be made
safe for women ?" He thought for a while and said " if more and more girls come
out on the street then it will become safe for everybody. And I said that's exactly
what we are doing!

N: Gender socialisation begins right from the time we are born. Gender
socialisation is the introduction of gender norms and building a gender
identity to the male and female members of scociety. Gender norms are a
set of rules that define the appropriate behaviour a man and woman
should follow in a given context. Gender identity is the internalisation of
gender norms where one starts looking at ones self in the frame of
gender. Gender identities are very strong and govern almost all our social
interactions in private and public spaces.
