Kheyechish? – Story of a play born from hunger

Volume 6 | Issue 3 | July 2026

It all started in the year 2023, when the world was still recovering from the pandemic. My way of starting life again was moving to Mumbai, on a decision that was taken almost overnight, because that city seemed to be where women were safer and where people were being paid to be theatre artists.

Volume 6 | Issue 3 | July 2026

തുടക്കം 2023ൽ ആണ്; മഹാമാരിയുടെ പിടി അയഞ്ഞുതുടങ്ങിയ കാലം. ജീവിതം വീണ്ടും തുടങ്ങുക എന്നാൽ മുംബൈയിലേക്ക് മാറിത്താമസിക്കുക എന്നായിരുന്നു എന്റെ മനസ്സിൽ. കാരണം  നഗരത്തിൽ സ്ത്രീകൾക്ക് കൂടുതൽ സുരക്ഷയുണ്ട്, അവിടെ നാടകപ്രവർത്തകർക്ക് വേതനവും ഉണ്ട് – പേരിനേയുള്ളൂ, അത് സാരമില്ല;  അതൊക്കെ മാറ്റിയെടുക്കാനാണല്ലോ ഞാൻ ….
