Watched a monologue this weekend, titled ‘Fat Feminist & Free’ and performed by Pramada Menon, a lady who is indeed all of these things — fat, feminist but the kind that harps on equality, not bra-burning and free (lives life on her own terms).
It’s a hilarious piece of work that recounts a series of mostly ridiculous incidents from her own life ranging from how random strangers offer unsolicited advice on how to lose weight (sounds familiar to moi) to what it was like to grow up as a Malayali in Kolkota to how people (policemen, auto drivers, security check personnel, and the like) mistook her to be male.
