A busy monsoon...

We had great monsoon for the better part of last one month. The rain lashing down havily, flooding the roads, causing havoc and wide spread illness(fever of the worst kind is an epidemic at Kozhikode now), cool, dark cloudy days and thunderous nights..

The gay scene has had a much needed reprieve with the Delhi High Court de-criminalising homosexuality and the Supreme Court endorsing the verdict. As usual majority of the politicians and the so called socio-religious leaders are totally clueless about the larger issues involved. The Indian Government is hoping that the Supreme Court ruling would give it a decent enough excuse to wash its hands off the matter. Anyway, I am delighted that a small milestone in a rather long and difficult journey promises hope for millions like myself.

Personally, I had a rather busy monsoon both in my gay life and the other life(yea..I do have a dual life to live, yet). Witnesssed a traumatic incident in which one guy sought to rob a gay of his money, threatening dire consequences since homosexuality is illegal(this happened two days before the Delhi High Court verdict).

I met a guy who hoped to be a life-partner and am still unable to decide whether we are suitable to each other or not. Hope I would be able to take the right decision soon...

Otherwise, so many contacts over the phone or chat. Sadly even now I come across guys who put up totally wrong details about themselves in their profile, especially regarding age, marital status, sexual preferences and even misusing other people's pictures as their own(I am not talking about using pictures avaiable in internet sites as a profile picture, but using those of one's real life friends and aquaintances without their knowledge).

It is indeed a difficlut jungle out there and a reasonably compatable partner is proving to be as elusive as ever...

I am still hopeful, because without hope there wont be anything to live for...
