ADVERTISTMENTS |
 A paper trail into the past………leading back more than 50 years to a time unlike now, when even one brutal murder sent waves of shock and horror across the country.
In an era sans television, newspapers were grabbed off the stands, with the public poring over every word, line and black and white photograph to glean every tiny detail. |

 “It’s almost impossible to understand!” says Dr. Dushyanthi Mendis.
We are leaning over a mobile phone, struggling through a thicket of acronyms; a virtual forest of abbreviations – and just barely getting somewhere. Perhaps it’s the complete lack of punctuation, perhaps it’s the fact that the letters have been whittled down to the bare minimum, if even that; I however, have the sinking suspicion that it’s because this is an alien language. |

| Telling her stories of pain and pleasure |
 I hear the word more times in the course of this one evening than I have over 24 years of living. It is a strange feeling – not entirely comfortable - and one must fight the urge to giggle. But by the time The Vagina Monologues are complete, that first, inexplicable embarrassment has disappeared, dissolved into stories of mirth and grief; tenderness, rebellion and reawakening. |
