To be honest this was not me couple of hours ago. In fact I have been on a perpetual see-saw of highs-n-lows for the past 10 days. And it all started from the minute we (Gaysi) volunteered to host “Dirty Talk” as part of the Mumbai Pride Week.

Happy New Year! (I’m Just 9 Days Late…)
So how was the last year, peeps? Here at Gaysi we’ve had a super busy one. We had our usual posts about Events, Opinions, Fiction and of course… cue scary music (or drum rolls, as you please)… PODCASTS! As usual, we were not free of controversy.

Queer Azadi Mumbai (QAM) 2012 : Do It Now!
Come on my queer,
Get in gear.

The Importance Of Political Correctness
Every once in a while, the Indian blogosphere explodes in a cataclysm of self-righteous rage and indignation because yet another blogger brought up the Indian version of the Mason-Dixon Line. Our north-south divide. The GaysiFamily team had its own battle with Hippa Southies being the affronted group.

A Note From An Offended South Indian Gaysi

You, Me & Zine (2)
Yes! Circle of pinkness enveloping our lives. We all noticed it. We noticed it because we asked for it. And because we asked – we got!

Gaysi Mumbai & I … A True Love Story
The city that never sleeps. The city that always eats. My kinda town… Of course, it helped that its brimming to the top with very many of the gorgeous ladies on Gaysi. Last month I darted down to India to replenish my body’s supply of Vitamin D and a quick jaunt to Mumbai seemed in order.

Achicho! Am I a Queer TamBram?
So when I realised my Queerness was not going anywhere, I was shocked, ashamed and confused. It was intense because I was also ashamed of being a TamBram. … it took me a whole decade to understand that being Queer and being TamBram can mutually exist.
