Never Look Down

The Core Treat was fun. We went to GRT Temple Bay Beach in Mahabs. The sand was cool. The moon was romantic. The breeze was drowsy. The waves were smooth. The Russian Coffee was awesome. The food was okies. The bike ride back to insti was thrilling.

Berry, 40, admits to Parade magazine that she tried to gas herself when her fiery union to Atlanta Braves baseball star David Justice collapsed, but pulled out at the last minute.

I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming when I had an image of my mother finding me….

…she sacrificed so much for her children, and to end my life would be an incredibly selfish thing to do. It was all about a relationship. My sense of worth was so low…

…Because someone didn’t love me didn’t mean I was unlovable. I promised myself I would never be a coward again.

Isn’t there a Berry inside all of us?

I saw this movie called Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd yesterday on comp. The story had one character who knew he was gay. The story had another character, who I should say was a bisexual but he always thought he was straight till he fell for this gay guy.

Go back ten years from now. I am not aware of a single Indian movie from that time that ever had homosexuality as a part of the story line. What has changed with time? Did homosexuals exist back then too? Common sense says that of course they did. Have homosexuals always existed? Highly likely! Then what took the Indian Film Industry so long to accept this aspect of life?

Existence Vs Acceptance

The answer is pretty simple. Existence of practices is one thing. Their acceptance is another! I remember having a friend five years back who was vehemently opposed to homosexuality. He looked down upon it. I am not sure if he still feels the same way. But I could never look down upon it. To me, it is a completely personal choice. If two guys sleep with each other, how does it really matter to anyone else? Give me a single point to this.

On this issue, I have something interesting to talk about. My Prof for Development Alternatives (a Humanities & Science Department course in IIT Madras) talked a lot about homosexuality. In fact he discussed the issue so much and so openly, that at a point of time it appeared that he was promoting it. So a new thing that I learned in this course was: sex and gender are not the same thing. This is interesting, ain’t it?

Sex Vs Gender

Your sex is determined at birth. But gender is something that society tags you with. It took me some time to appreciate this statement. When the Prof told it first, I could not resist asking him this: But sir, if you are born a man, you are a man! What has society to do with it? And then I got my answer. It is the society which tells how a man should live and how he should behave! Interesting! I had never thought about this.

So if the society thinks that a man should penetrate and a woman should be penetrated, the whole concept of gender builds up around this assumption. If you are penetrated, you are a woman. This is what gender is all about. But the fact that so many gays and lesbians exist clearly tells us that, there are people who don’t fall under society’s definition of a man and a woman. Biologically their sex is known, but they are different. And there is absolutely nothing wrong in being that.

As a parting note, this post has not been written to promote homosexuality. The aim is to make the reader realize that there’s a life beyond what we see; what we have been made to see so far. We might never get to be a part of that life, but the least we can do is respect those who live it.

He looked ugly. The fat bastard. The first time I had met him, I had made an immediate conclusion. He should be a mean guy. There was this typical expression on his face. One that sent bad vibes. Probably no one could be comfortable around him. For lack of a better description, he sucked.

But what I liked about him was that he was intelligent. He had got brains that few people had.

I wonder why I killed him! May be I hated him more than I liked him. Doesn’t really matter. The fact is that he no longer exists. I had shot him straight in the head. The only good thing he had. His brain. It burst in the first shot. It burst badly. He couldn’t even scream. In a matter of seconds, he collapsed. His fat body fell down and made a heavy thud. The marble floor went red with flowing blood.

Red blood.
Flowing blood.
I liked the sound,
the heavy thud.

Gun shot.
One shot.
I killed you.
Miss you a lot.
