and Gender Studies at MIT & The Alliance for a Secular and
Democratic South Asia cordially invite you to the screening of The Other
Song followed by a Q & A with Saba Dewan (Director)<br><br>In 1935
Rasoolan Bai, the well-known singer form Varanasi, recorded for the
gramophone a love song that she would never sing again, 'My breasts are
wounded don't throw flowers at me.' With a variation of her song, 'My
heart is wounded, don't throw flowers at me,' the 1935 recording faded
from public memory and eventually got lost. More than 70 years later the
film travels through Varanasi to search for the forgotten song. This
journey opens a Pandora's box of life stories, memories, half remembered
songs, and histories that for long have been banished into oblivion. It
brings the film face to face with the enigmatic tawaifs, or the
courtesans who until a century back were amongst the most educated and
privileged of Indian women. Today they stand recast as deviant; their
arts, obscene; their story and that of the lost song linked to the
making of modern India and the transitions around the control and
censorship of female sexuality and cultural expression.<br><br></span></font><div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(153,0,0)"><b>11.

they go through on a daily basis. I feel compelled to help. I am
offering FREE makeup and hair consultations for those transitioning to

have been working with a client Michelle on her transition and it has
been amazingly rewarding for not only her but myself. I have always had
such an open heart for the LGBTQ community but now I feel like I have
