The NALSAR Gender and Sexuality Forum (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Do not ask me who I am and do not ask me to remain the same … let us leave it to our bureaucrats and our police to see that our papers are in order.” A good way, we felt, to headline the invitational notice of a forum whose primary aims include questioning the identities we’ve had so painstakingly constructed for us in the first place. We started small. Three of us, huddled around the less rickety of the two tables at our friendly neighbourhood coffee shop, throwing around ideas about scope, st
The Bangalore Queer Film Festival 2010 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“There is a moment that comes in your life, if you’re queer. It’s a moment of utter loneliness, when you realize that the world isn’t exactly designed for people like us. At this point, we scavenged. We took the novels we read and changed the pronouns of the protagonists. We saw films and changed the gender of the hero or heroine. We read between lines, we found spaces between cracks, we desperately looked at any gesture of affection : anything to know that somewhere, in someone, there was a mir
Poet Law-reate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It happened in the middle of a particularly stressful assignment. There I was, sitting at my laptop, at the desolate hour of 2.20 AM, when I decided. Enough. Nyet. Nimph. Nope. No More. I’d had it.

I want to haul you down to a Love Court You’ll get the notice any day now Probably on pink paper Or atleast an angry shade of red It’ll come enveloped in a heart-shaped folder Which you’ll have to rip apart at the seams But then, you’re good at that kind of thing - Aren’t you ? You broke my heart in the winter, And again in the summer rain, And if I didn’t drag you to court, You’d just do it again This Court of Love, it’s not a happy place, Its title isn’t quite apt, You appear before it, when l
365 Days without 377 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re fast approaching the 2nd of July : the date of the Naz Foundation judgment. You know the one, the one with the operative paragraph that went something like this : We declare that Section 377 IPC, insofar it criminalises consensual sexual acts of adults in private, is violative of Articles 21, 14 and 15 of the Constitution. I look back at how a 105 page document has affected my life over the last year. Class hour. I feel the buzz of a new message on my phone, but I can’t check it just yet.
