Hridoy Bhuchitra - A Map of Heart
The biography begins in 2018, when Mukul, a coming out govt. employee of Assam, teaches gay issues, and organizes queer youths. He publishes for repealing IPC Section 377 that criminalizes gay sex in India. Gayatri likes Mukul's poems. Gayatri is attracted to Tora secretly who loves Argha, their dance school class-mate. Argha desires Mukul secretly who tells Argha to visit his NGO. Mukul tries to support a hidden trans-youth whose suicide makes Mukul helpless as there lacks a system to address queer mental health. As Mukul starts writing his autobiography, he memorizes his past relationships. Mukul tries supporting his student Gayatri who comes out to him with fear. Mukul memorizes how he came out, was deprived of his due leave for completing his PhD research that forced him to return to Assam, and how he formed a complicated relationship with Rahul. Mukul continues activism despite facing homophobia. Meanwhile, gay sex is legalized in lndia. Gayatri’s mother now forcefully arranges Gayatri’s marriage as her bedridden husband is dieing. Mukul notices Gayatri’s absence in classes. Gayatri is not able to express her feelings for Tora. Mukul keeps trying to contact Gayatri who tells him sobbing that she feels very insecure. Mukul is helpless to save Gayatri from depression. Meanwhile, Rahul gets angry when his mother pressurizes him for marriage. Mukul requests Rahul’s mother not to force Rahul. While trying to reach out to Gayatri, Mukul once again faces homophobic treatment. When he becomes able to visit her home, it is too late.
