Brokeback Mountain


[About the picture -Jake Gyllenhaal & Heath Ledger. I love this still from the movie!]

"I wish I knew how to quit you"

My favourite line from the Epic movie. Every time I watch it, a piece of me melts for both of them.
Watched it after a long time. And first time after I met A.

The movie's plain simple guitar music given by Gustavo Santaolalla is an indispensable part of movie experience for me. Especially the track - 'Wings' played during the final scene, it's beautiful but in a gut wrenching way.  The mountains, the stillness, the close ups. the performances. Everything is so tender and real. This movie will always remain for me in the top 3 Queer movies of all times.

And to A, I wish I knew how to quit you :)

A tale of the new year & my coming out (Part I)

Image
Happy New Year everyone !! I sincerely hope that this new year brings joy, happiness & contentment to all of you in ways you never imagined & take away your sorrows & pain forever !! So the week leading to this new year (the 52nd week of 2011) has been one hell of an experience for me. I OFFICIALLY CAME OUT to my parents a few days ago !!! It was a no holds barred intermittent discussion spread over 2-3 days sprinkled with lots of drama, emotions, weird moments & deafening silences & what not ! So here's my story of what happened, how it happened & 'who said what'.. PROLOGUE  - Struck up in life & stagnating at the same place for long I was contemplating coming out to my family since long but was searching for the perfect time but always there was some or the other issue cropped up like my dad's ill health, their professional problems, etc  umpteen such things to push my coming out to the back burner. Me being the youngest & the

Closure Report

Khel Khatam Hua! At 12.30 in the noon sprawled in the common room overlooking foliage covered mountains in a picturesque hill station of Western India, I hereby declare, being in full control over my mental faculties, that I am filing an official closure report on all the 'ladfas' (romantic liaisons)   I have been involved in past few years now that I have attained certain degree of peace with each one of them. Therefore, may it be A , allegedly an 'eternally unsolvable' puzzle that I got embroiled in many years ago, or M or K or even J, who came in quick succession in past one year, I honestly and happily wish them the best for future! It all started with the LBGT writing workshop that I was selected for last year, where, to my utter shock, I bumped into A after years of being completely incommunicado. Well one thing let to another and we were having Old Monk that night at a shady bar in the suburbs. I'll forever remember that night as one of the mo

Feeling Liberated :)

Image
(About the picture - "Starry Night' by Vincent Van Gogh. One of his most celebrated paintings, a personal favourite. Another one being 'Boats at Saintes Maries'. Was my wall paper for a long long time) Recently I celebrated my birthday. I am officially on the wrong side on 20s now! Friends who were coincidentally here for official conference, had brought cake and we celebrated a little party at midnight! Thank you guys. Love you :) Also, the thing that had occupied every moment of my life, covertly or overtly for the past six months, the chapter of A finally was laid to rest. My inner demons at the end relented and vanquished my mind. And I seriously hope for the good. After an eternity, A sent a polite message hoping all was good with me and wished me happy birthday on my fb wall. And that was the moment when I decided. After months of being in doldrums, I finally made the decision that I should have had made long time back, Nonetheless, all's well that ends
