As you well know, that is a challenge as far as sexuality is concerned. For example, I recently got onto Orkut where my entire MBA class spends most of the day writing scraps to each other. I put a link to my Wild Reeds blog, when I had non-queer stuff on it. Now I recently had to post my report on the 5th GB parents meet. I had three choices:<BR/>1) Remove the link from my Orkut page and remain closeted/ambiguous to my class.<BR/>2) Not post the report on my blog and thus remain closeted (a pity because such reports are the times I really feel passionately about what I'm writing).<BR/>3) Keep the link on Orkut, post the report on my blog, and trust the loving and accepting-ness of my classmates to internalise this additional information and not lose their respect for me.<BR/><BR/>I chose #3.<BR/><BR/>As far as drifting is concerned, it's not that we don't drift away from people, or that people do not drift away from us. But with being out, it becomes a pleasantly efficient process. I've experienced such an exhilirating freedom in not being uneasy and awkward in the last year, that it seems worth it. Doubts remain - will this outness come at a cost? My class is overwhelmingly from North India, quite parochial, very un-subtle. Will it affect my summers placement? Will a classmate who otherwise would smile/say hi/put an arm around me not do so anymore? Will someone spread rumours about me? Yes these are all concerns. <BR/>But live has to be lived.<BR/><BR/>Okay enough about me. :-)Wild Reedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02527978162691178676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17755330.post-1155572047565251202006-08-14T21:44:00.000+05:302006-08-14T21:44:00.000+05:30lol how come u respond to the p.s. and not to the ...lol how come u respond to the p.s. and not to the post. the number of comments bear testimoney to the visits on the blog.a guppiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944225492186916925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17755330.post-1155499081686023372006-08-14T01:28:00.000+05:302006-08-14T01:28:00.000+05:30yes, there does exist a lifeless bunch [i mean viv...yes, there does exist a lifeless bunch [i mean vivek, really] who treads upon yer blog now and then .. so enough with the i-want-attention-bit !!!once againhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975202756764052257noreply@blogger.com
