Prajakta Kulkarni

Kulkarni tells us that it’s not just general gender-based humour, but specific incidents that the comedians have experienced. The ladies’ dabba in a train is a space of chaos and fun, and the smallest incidents assume humourous proportions. Expect a back-and-forth between the performers and the crowd, she says.

You deserve a drink, or twenty, so make haste to the airport (just aroundabouts; you don’t have to take a flight) for Vineyard Rhythms for a wine-tasting weekend. Archana Singh, Founder of VinoDeBella, a Nashik-based artisanal wine brand, has curated the wine-tasting festival. “Our aim is to bring the vineyard experience to the city,” says Singh. It’s also a tribute to women; she says women-led brands need to be given visibility.

Vineyard Rhythms aims to bring together a community of women 

“We’re so enterprising; we can put our minds to anything,” she says. At the wine fest, one can try the classic Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, and Catawba. There’s also a dance programme featuring Latin styles by Sabnam Lahkar, Aniket Khhopkarand and Amit Rathore and a fashion gala, inspired by designer Isabella Valentina.

Every year, UnErase hosts special women’s day poetry meetups 

Every year on Women’s Day, UnErase Poetry comes together to listen to the voices of those identifying with the gender. Their first poetry session was held on March 8, seven years ago, says founder Simar Singh,  and now there is an annual theme. Last year, it was gender identity; this year, the focus is on celebrating the life and stories of women, from different age groups, backgrounds, and walks of life. “Most of the stories and poems presented will be personal. It’s going to bring different perspectives on what it is to be a woman in India,” says Singh. Poets from different parts of the country have been asked to perform, and you can look forward to Taranjit Kaur, Vanika Sangtani, Sainee Raj, Helly Shah, Shweta Tripathi, and Priyanshi Bansal taking the stage with their works. There’s also a special surprise act planned this year, to commemorate the seventh year of the collective.
