With every passing day, i get so sure about my sexuality. But because of this, i am also scared of my future. As usual.. i am scared of my loneliness in future.. OK now let me tell u whats happening in my life currently.
Recently i met a guy from net only. Though our initial interaction was not very friendly. But since i have met him personally (since almost two weeks), i am feeling a warmth in our relationship. I really think alot about him. I dont know how things would go further. But currently i am engrossed with him, emotionally. I am not chatting / talking with him a lot cause i am in mumbai and he is there in delhi. Still, just thinking of him, gives me a feeling which is known to me. Yes this is not the first time, i am getting in love.. This feeling is of love only. But isnt it too soon. I dont know the guy much. I have just met him once. Still, i just feel melting in his arms.
Not to take credit out of him, still i think its more a feeling of love which i love. But its after a long time, when i really like someone. He is just another guy, and i would not mind at all introducing him to my friends and folks. He is idealogical, a little stubborn, someone who has strong principles and values, one guy who can go overboard sometimes, over indulgent. Not very successful but i am sure he can be great in his life.. he just need some support and thats why i am gonna be there... for him .. with him
He feels that i am acting as a Big Brother.. but he has told me that i am insecure deep inside somewhere.. and YES... i am insecure.. i am dying to have somebody who just give me a hug and say "Dont worry ! Things would be better. ". I am dying for that comfort and love, but i am scared of loosing it.. Each and everyone whom i ever liked, has gone out of my life somehow or other. I want a big brother myself.. who can just take care of me.. and i can forget all the worldly problems when i am with him.
After 32 years of existence.. still i am ALONE.. and LONELY... but i am ok.. i know... this is life.. and if i can get a little philosophical... we all are here alone.. so enjoy this loneliness... till my guy get used to me and start missing me like i miss him...
I really like this advertisement. Though it is an old one now, still i like the gay connotation in it in the end.. Enjoy...
hey guys, i generally dont fantasize about bollywood guys.. but ranbir kapoor is ranbir kapoor. He is cute, he is smart, he is sexy, he is HOT , And specially in these pics with the red boxers he is looking like a gay icon.. what you guys say about him
Hey Guys... Yugyag is on twitter.. now you can catch all the latest happenings on twitter as well..

Hey All,
Last one month has been one of the most glorious months for the gay community in India. We had gay parade on 28th November, which was much bigger than the last year. Then finally, consensual homosexual act has become legal, which is is BIG... and i mean BIG... victory for all gay rights activist.
But where the hell has been this YUGYAG... when all this were happening? Not Even one single post of jubiliation.
Can't help it dear all. But last 24th June, my dad fell, as he is suffering from epileptic fits. He hit the floor and got an internal injury. He spent 20 days in ICU and another 10 days in private ward. Though now , he is back home.. but he is not more than a vegetable. He is bed ridden. Does not recognise any of us. Speak irrelevant, and his mind is very disoriented. Last one month was like an year for me...
As busy as can be.....
I really, really felt so alone.. all this time. But by the grace of universal powers.. i never felt weak or timid.. it was only lonely... There was no one, who can hug me or even hold my hand and re-ensure that everything would be fine. There was no one, to take care of my food, my clothes, my things at the time when i was busy with my dad.
I felt guilty for my mom. As my dad is completely dependant on him. She has to take care of him as well as take care of household chores. Though now we have two 12 hours attendants, so there is somebody at help all 24 hours to take care of dad. But still nothing can replace family care.
There is so much... so much... brewing.. inside me.. i would like much more in the coming days..
But till then i would like all my readers to pray for my dad.. I am sure, he would be cured completely soon... just need all the positive energy and vibes..
I m 31.5 yo.. pretty boring chap :)
Little Emotional... Little Practical..
Little Straight... Little Gay..
Little Happy... Little Sad..
and in all these littles.. there is somewhere.. hiding..
ME.. :)
New Delhi: Even as the Delhi High Court is close to giving its verdict on a 19th century colonial law that treats homosexual activity as a crime, here’s a shot in the arm for gay
rights. In an interview to a television channel on Thursday, law minister Veerappa Moily indicated that the government may do a rethink on the controversial Section 377 of IPC
that criminalizes private consensual sex between adults of the same sex.
Moily admitted that some sections of the IPC are outdated and Section 377 may be one of them. TNN
‘Amending Section 377 will curb spread of HIV’
New Delhi: Those part of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) rights movement say a rethink by the government on Section 377 of IPC would be a big step forward. ‘‘It
will be the best thing for the national Aids control programme since efforts to curb the spread of HIV and AIDS will no longer be impeded by the law,’’ said Ashok Row Kavi,
consultant for UNAIDS and UNDP.
Moily’s statement comes at an interesting juncture as the high court has already finished hearing arguments on the petition filed by New Delhi-based non-profit group Naz
Foundation in 2001, seeking a reading down of section 377. While the health ministry had supported the petition, the home and law ministries were against it. If the law ministry
is indeed willing to do a rethink, experts say it has two options. It could submit before the court that it had changed its position and ask for hearings to be reopened.
Times View
This paper has supported the demand to abolish Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code which criminalizes homosexuality and carries a draconian sentence of up to 10 years.
Ironically, this colonial law that we inherited from the British has long been struck from their own law books. Legalities apart, a growing body of medical evidence suggests that
genes influence sexual preference. If that is so, how can homosexuality be considered ‘unnatural’? Regardless of whether it is nature or nurture that determines who is gay and who
is not, we believe it is a question of personal choice. We are happy that law minister Moily has indicated that the government may be willing to rethink the issue.

New Delhi: In yet another case of a minor being involved in a heinous crime, a 14-year-old boy has been detained for allegedly sodomizing and murdering a six-year-old. The shocking incident was reported from near the Inder weighing bridge off Sarai Kale Khan area on the banks of Yamuna.
According to the south-east district police, the accused, employed with a roadside hotel near the Sarai Kale Khan ISBT complex, had asked the sixyear-old victim to accompany him to the Yamuna banks off the DND flyway, on the pretext of collecting berries for him on Friday evening. The victim was the youngest among the four children of the hotel owner where the accused was presently employed.
‘‘The two boys reached a bush near Yamuna bank where the accused sodomized the six-yearold. When the victim threatened to spill the beans, the accused picked up a piece of cloth from the river bed and strangulated him. He then fled from the spot and joined the rescue parties looking for the boy,’’ said Shalini Singh, DCP, southeast.
According to chief investigator from the New Friends Colony police station, when the victim did not return to his house at Sunlight Colony on Friday night, his family members launched a massive search. ‘‘Initially, the victim’s father thought his son had drowned in the Yamuna and hence asked local boatsmen to look for him. Unable to find him, he lodged a kidnapping case on June 6 and the police recovered the victim’s mutilated body around 7 am on Sunday,’’ he told Times City.
‘‘Our teams visited the spot and the Sarai Kale Khan JJ clusters to investigate the case. The postmortem of the boy at AIIMS confirmed sodomy. We took some kids into confidence and finally detained the 14-year-old boy,’’ said DCP Singh.
Sources said a little girl revealed after she had asked the accused the whereabouts of the victim, he showed her the exact spot where the body was found. ‘‘He claimed he had divine powers to detect the movement of young children,’’ said a source. The police also came to know that the PCR call about the mutilated body was made by a weighing bridge owner at the instance of some ragpickers who in turn were informed of the body by the accused himself. ‘‘He confessed to the crime,’’ said Singh.
The accused was adopted by the victim’s father two years ago after he complained that his parents were ‘‘alcoholic’’ and ‘‘abused’’ him.

The Delhi gay parade, after being a hit in its first edition last year, is going to be bigger and better in its second year
Delhi’s going to be happy, gay and proud of it again this year – the city’s second Queer pride March is all set to be held on June 28 this year. June 28 is the date of gay pride parades and marches all over the world because it is the date of the Stonewall riots in the USA back in 1969, when there was a spontaneous riot against persecution of homosexuals at the Stonewall Inn in New York City.
The march this year will start around 5.30 pm at the intersection of Barakhamba Road and Tolstoy Marg in CP, and will continue along Tolstoy Marg, ending at Jantar Mantar. Monish, a Queer Pride Committee member, says that they were expecting about 300-400 people last time, but at 1200, the turnout exceeded their expectations. “This time too, we’re expecting a huge turnout – around three times that of last year,” he says. He adds that, like last year, they’ll have a Pride party where fundraising will be done through individual financial contributions and volunteer support. The Delhi march coincides with that in Bangalore.
Gay rights activist Leslie Esteves, who organised the march last year, says, “Last time, because it all came through at the last minute, we didn’t have enough time to spread the word. But this time, we are prepared. And so, there’ll be people not only from Delhi, but also from other states in the North.”
Ponni, a queer feminist activist, says, “This year, the march has a little more significance for us as the most of the arguments for the legal case over Article 377 have ended and we’re waiting for the judgment to come, soon after the march takes place.”
Today I went for my hair cut. It was my normal barber who charges only Rs.25/-. It is recession time so i don't want to waste my money. The other saloon charges Rs.100/- per cut.
It is a small shop. A regular hair cutting shop which has just three chairs. Without AC and all. That guy gave me a good haircut but i was not satisfied. I wanted some more fun.
Then i thought of going to other shop and get something done. It was already 2130 hours in the night. I already took a fresh haircut from one barber, so i still had some hair strands stuck on my face and body. Still I went through some more barber shops and finally decide on one, where there was just one barber.
I went in and asked him, if he can give me a head massage. He saw me with doubts and said ok. I waited for five minutes for him to get free and then i sat in the chair. He asked me about my fresh haircut. I made an excuse that there was a power cut and that barber didnt have power back up so my head massage is pending.
He was giving me head massage and i was getting high by his touch and feel. Then , he was stretching my arms by pulling them in opposite side and that how, my hand touches his stomach. I quickly open my palm so i can have good feel of his stomach. WOW. it was such a flat stomach. I felt it for atleast ten seconds, after which he kept my hand back in place.
It was a short head massage. But Now i have got another person whom i can put on my hit list.
Hope i can enjoy one day with this guy too.
Till Then Keep on getting your hair cut from sexy barbers :)
Last week, Durban-based sales advisor Joe Singh and his partner Wesley Nolan solemnized their relationship at a ceremony where a Hindu priest officiated. In the Singh living room, Wesley tied a necklace with a Ganesha pendant around Joe’s neck. The couple, now honeymooning in Mauritius, chose the Ganesha instead of garlands because both of them are “staunch Hindus’’ and wanted the Elephant God to “ward off evil and remove obstacles from their path’’.
The grooms had sent out shimmering wedding invitations weeks in advance, had hand-embroidered shervanis shipped all the way from India, and took their vows before a havan or sacred fire. They spent 18 months preparing for their big day and Joe’s mother Rita Govender said the family had been extraordinarily supportive.
A year ago, a Mumbaibased IT professional married his white boyfriend of five years in a boisterous ceremony in Seattle. They too had the shervanis and havan. Roughly 450 people attended, many of them uncles and aunts from Mumbai. The boy’s parents initially had reservations about making their son’s sexuality public. “But by the end of it, his mother was in mother-in-law mode,’’ says one of the guests.
These happy stories may sound unbelievable given the many accounts of social hostility to gay people. But the fact is that same-sex marriage ceremonies have been performed in Indian households, rich and poor, and in cities and small towns alike. The nuptials may not have legal validity but the ritual is remarkable in a country where homosexuality is still considered a criminal act and punishable by up to 10 years in the clink. Ironically, the police cannot bust a samesex marriage because a ceremony cannot prove homosexuality as defined by Section 377 of the IPC.
An activist from Gay Bombay confirms that there are reports of unions every week, be they a lesbian couple in Punjab or Kerala or gay men in Gujarat or Delhi. Ashok Row Kavi, who opened the closet in India, says he knows several gay couples who tied the knot. “There’s one big plus-point about Hindu priests,’’ says Kavi with a straight face. “They’ll forget about everything if you show them a few bucks.’’
Same-sex marriage ceremonies are not an entirely new phenomenon, although they’ve largely stayed unnoticed. Sixteen years ago, when Aditya Advani told his parents he was gay, his mother hugged him and suggested he place a newspaper ad seeking a suitable boy. Two years later, in 1993, he brought Michael Tarr home to meet the family. It was then that Aditya complained about having to attend yet another family wedding. “I don’t know these people, why do I have to go to the wedding? They would never come to mine”. To which, his mother, a lawyer, who Aditya says “tends to shake the premise of things’’, responded, “Why not? Let’s have a ceremony for Michael and you.’’
Whose house will the baraat leave from?
In the drawing room of the Advanis’ Sundernagar home in Delhi, Aditya Advani and Michael Torr exchanged garlands and made the pheras in the presence of two bronze idols of Lord Hari Hara, a deity that represents the union of Shiva and Vishnu. The family’s spiritual mentor, Swami Bodhananda, presided over the simple but radical ceremony.
While very few parents are as liberal as Aditya’s, there are cases when even conservative mothers have come around. As happened in the case of an Indian lesbian in the US, who came out to her traditional Gujarati family. After the tears and tantrums came a grudging acceptance. “Finally, her mother told her that if she had to marry a woman, she should at least make sure she was a Gujarati girl. ‘And make sure you send her to me so I can teach her to cook the way our family does’, her mother said. She was also worried by one more question: whose house will the baraat leave from?’’ laughs an activist who knows the girl.
For San Jose residents Arvind Kumar and Ashok Jethanandani too, exchanging vows in Arvind’s brother house in Toronto was the most memorable day of their lives.
Activists say that the same-sex marriage movement has emerged independent of the other issues in the gay rights movement. Homophobia and HIV are believed to be more pressing battles. Ashok Row Kavi opposes marriage as an “oppressive heterosexual institution’’. Yet, say activists, it’s a need that can’t be wished away.
Most of the same-sex couples who have had big ceremonies live outside India in more open-minded climes like California. One of the few exceptions is the Goa-based celebrity couple of designer Wendell Rodricks and his French partner Jerome Marrel. Last year they completed 25 years together. In 2003, Wendell and Jerome signed the PACS, a French civil ceremony which though not technically a wedding gives same-sex couples rights like any other couple. Aditya and Michael were extremely lucky that their family priest, Swami Bodhananda, agreed to preside. “He thought about it for a few days, and then said he understood me and that we could have a ceremony in the presence of Lord Hari Hara,’’ says Aditya. Other gay couples have been less fortunate. “One couple had to eventually be married by a recorded tape which chanted the mantras,’’ says a Mumbai-based software engineer.
