It Was Nice To See You
That one night stand was devoid of any glamour but full of sweetness. I misremembered your generosity as love.
Chicken & Chorizo
It’s a gorgeous Sunday today. The sun is out, beautiful people everywhere lounging about in the park, the duck pond is glorious and the park looks amazing!
Interview : Editors of Soon To Be Launched Book “Close, Too Close”
Queer lives are becoming increasingly visible in writings and art, in demanding for rights, in challenging the law, in voicing protests, in starting organisations, in making an online presence; robust, vibrant and diverse voices are being heard in India and South Asia. This book is an attempt to add to those voices.
What Is Pride Anyway?
I have been asking myself this question for months after 2011s pride. Am I proud enough to celebrate MY PRIDE?
Diamonds
I looked at my mother, glittering in the smooth sunlight on Michigan Avenue, she was dripping in an excess of diamonds.
Meet The CookBoy
I live with my husband J. Well, civil partner. Whatever… it depends on how politically correct you want to be about it. But either way its all legal!
Fundamentalists
The man says to me “You know, I have been watching you for some time now. I have been observing you. And you see, god talks to me, he sends me messages”.
The Dirty Talk Experience (Finale)
We only had 20 days to put everything together.
Aam Gaysi : I Am An Undocumented Immigrant
My first girlfriend outed me when we were 13. I told her that I loved her. She asked me what I meant by that – whether I loved her in the same way a guy loves a girl.
I Hate You…Like I Love You
I often found myself on my couch staring at the ceiling wondering, “How do I stop thinking about my ex-girlfriend?” Dammit! I had to THINK about how NOT to think!
Jab We Met : I Fell In Love With My Partner’s Son Before I Fell In Love With Her
We learned to communicate and not be afraid of difficult topics. Even though we have our fights and disagreements, our lives fit seamlessly together.
Today
Just before this picture was taken, it appears like
The barber had put a bowl upside down on your head
And trimmed what laid outside of it.
Interview : The Mr. Quirky, Harish Iyer
Whoring for a cause is something that all of us should engage in, though the flip side is that people would brand you as using the cause for getting famous.
Discrimination Is For The Straights*
This wonderful article written by the fabulous Nayantara Kilachand very well encompasses the basic problem faced by the LGBT community, that of acceptance. Based on study she recently came across which provides shocking figures, she delves deeper into the LGBT scene by investigating with her friendly queers.
Aam Gaysi : I Was A Big Homophobe
My ex girlfriend who was apparently straight and was always discreet about our relationship always introduced me to her friends/family as her “Gay Best Friend”. At first I was pretty cool about it but after a certain point it was one of the major reasons for our break up.
Brown and Gay
For the most part South Asians are not the most comfortable talking about sex and sexuality. Is it because we aren’t having any? Funny, I didn’t think the Kama Sutra was for coffee table reading, nor did I think that population of India surpassed a billion through abstinence. Yet we shy away from these discussions, push them into a category of shame and turn a blind eye.
Bullying Within the Queer Community
As a society, we’re more focused than ever on making sure that bullying on the basis of gender or sexual orientation isn’t harming queer kids the way it has in the past. Lots of anti-bullying campaigns focus on the fact that once a kid is out of high school, they get to be a lot more selective in the people they hang out with, and as a result, they escape from a lot of the bullying. But is high school really where that level of bullying ends?
