Karma and rebirth are inseparable partners. When one takes birth, the other follows. When one is released from bondage, the other vanishes. When Seetha is reborn as Savitri, she is unaware many of the people, with whom she needs to settle issues with from her life last life as Seetha. These people are reborn and become part of her life as Savitri. In a series of dramatic events leading to the finale, she is able to recognise all the people from her past life as Seetha. However, one question still needs to be answered: can she settle scores, or must she be reborn to get even?

On 6th September 2018, Section 377 IPC, was done away with by the Supreme Court of India, thereby decriminalizing homosexuality. India became free of an archaic law which suffocated human rights, the right to be who we are. These LGBT stories speak of the angst of being in the closet and of being free to love. Our rights as LGBT people must extend now to be able to marry same-sex lovers if we so wish. If Look Who is wearing the pants describes a desire to be a woman, in a man's body, then, Crossing the Lakshman Rekha speaks of non-acceptance of same-sex partnership. The struggle is still on and yet, thereis joy and happiness that goes beyond words and is captured in Ab Kya Chori Chupke - What is there to hide now - which is a confession as much as it is a story. Enjoy what you read and do leave a review, please.
