Hijra.
In one of the habitats of the hijra ( colloquial for a transgender) communities in the mega mix of a city that is Dhaka, in a shayampur slum to be precise, the mascara, eye lashes, and the dazzling sarees, salwars and dopattas seem to vie with one another to neutralize the gaze of the onlooker, The Camera homes in on the unfolding drama, which is nothing short of a razzmatazz that reads like a narrative consisting of exotic hiero-glyphics as the protagonist represented make merry dancing and singing for an absent audience, or as an end in itself.
