Set in the backdrop of 1990 Calcutta, She is a story about finding one's own identity in spite of all odds. The story spins around the life of Kusum, a brave heart whose identity is often untitled and blurred; it does not belong anywhere, definitely not under the 'he' or 'she' bracket, thanks to our social conditioning. Will she be successful in her mission? Find out in She, an utterly absorbing read that derives inspiration from Tagore's "Ekla Cholo Re" song, which urges everyone to move on despite the fear of abandonment from others.

'SHE' deals with a topic that has been made fun of without realising the agony through which people dealing with this problem go through. I am sure this will change the way we behave with such people. Which people? Read it to find out. Five stars for 'SHE'. ★★★★★"The book is a bold step towards social awareness and discussing a few things which are still considered as taboo in the society" (Rating 4.5 out of 5!) - Maniparna Sengupta, Blogger "...As I keep saying about the author's book, it is a quick read and hardly demanding any time of yours but this time around the book comes with a good story that will for sure keep you glued till the end" - Merril Anil (Rating ★★★★1/2) 'She' is amazing! (Rating ★★★★★) - Jyothi Byahatti
From the Author An idea could trigger off to become a book She: Ekla Cholo Re is still amusing to us! It has been a great journey of writing a story that is often 'unsaid, presented in a face-lift way'!

Accustomed to think novel as a at least 200 pages thick, I was surprised to see this booklet thinner than a travel guide!The story it seemed was based in Kolkata, precisely where I had travelled to on an assignment. My expectations for the story had slightly gone down a bit due to the size of the book and I took my own sweet time to start reading the book. Inspired by the song by RabindraNath Tagore 'Ekla Cholo Re' the story is about the society's behaviour towards the LGBT community.It is the story of Kusum who born a boy, prefers to indulge in activities more popular with girls. The father, though a doctor is ashamed of his child's choice of activities and all hell breaks loose when father discovers the sexual inclinations of the child.Kusum, falls in love with the son of another doctor, Dr Banerjee, a friend of father. Both set of parents are horrified and Dr Banerjee shifts his son to some other city. The boys, all grown up meet again after few years and rekindle their relationship. However the societal norms and pressures make the lovers decide that Kusum undergo a sex-change procedure and become a 'proper' female for the relationship to continue. But even after the successful sex-change procedure, the fear of ostracism from the society gets to the lover and he succumbs to his family demands of marrying another woman.The author has tried to draw attention towards our behaviour as a whole towards the gay, lesbian and trans-genders which is far from empathy. We still consider gay relationships inappropriate and look down upon such alliances. The trans-genders are still not accepted in the normal society and the LGBT community is fighting for their place in the regular social thread of society, just like the protagonist of the story.After reading the story, I realised that busy with my own everyday life and small problems, even I never gave thought to needs of people who are not defined as 'he'or 'she' in the society.The story is an attempt to open up your eye but I wish there was more body to the story and the characters were developed in detail with the agony of the characters, the reaction of parents and the final decision of Kusum to go ahead in the world alone were defined properly. It seems like a hurriedly told story or more like an excerpt. The issue of acceptance of LGBT community is huge and the story does no justice in taking it up.A great effort but a very short story. Decide for yourself....

Ekla Chalo re (She) By Ashok LR Having read the reviews of high praise, I was thrilled to receive the printed copy of Ekla Chalo re (She) under Goodreads giveaway, But after I started it, I began to wonder if the book I received is the same book which garnered such high reviews. She is the story of the protagonist born as a male in an upper class family, but who behaves like a female right from childhood. Calling herself "Kusum", she narrates her story of falling in love with a boy, who becomes a doctor and supports Kusum to have a sex change operation, then… The narration is interesting in places, and Tagore's poem is quoted and translated. The idea is good and unique and could have been developed further.So why has this small book disappointed me? The editing is non-existent: missing quotation marks, wrong punctuation (e.g. "… what happened?",) archaic language (e.g. adorned the sky), odd sentences (e.g. "Oh Raj, look out here!..."), wrong word usage *e.g. hymn instead of hum). And all these examples come from P 31-32. In short, if this book had been a sandwich, I would have said there is too much sand in this sandwich.I thank Santosh Avvannavar and Goodreads for providing me a free hard copy of Ekla Chalo re (She) for an unbiased review.

About our society and discrimination based on gender By Ramya 'She' is the story of a transgender Kusum, who is born as a male, but dominated with female traits. The story mainly focuses on how society treats transgenders. It shows how our society has set some expectations from long time based on gender. If someone is not fitting into either of the gender types, our society tries to ignore or avoid them and cannot accept and include them. The book cover is designed well as per the story. The narration is good and easy to follow. The climax is very good. I don't know much about Rabindranath Tagore's song 'Ekla Cholo re' and its meaning until I read this book. This has some verses from that song with translation in English. Even though it is a very short story, the author is able to send a clear message to readers about the discrimination on transgenders. Male or female or She-Male (that's what the term they used in the book :-)), everyone is human, they have their own aspirations and they are to be accepted as they are. The book ends with the quote - You are what you choose to be My Rating: 4/5
