First post from Mumbai

I don't know where I finished last time. I'm right now enjoying it in Mumbai. I have finished the official procedures in the college. So a big load off my mind.



I'm staying with my good friend Lestat. I'm sharing an apartment with him. It is the first time that I'm staying out my home and I was sort of anxious to find out how I would find it. I'm very happy to say that I find it extremely enjoyable doing what I'm doing now. That's mainly because I'm very comfortable with Lestat. Although we have some issues between us like Smoking and Drinking and his somewhat lackadaisical daily routine, we are getting along very well.



I had come out to him about a month. That must be the reason why. Besides we have a great rapport between each other. We jam very well as well. Oh, if you aren't aware, he's my bandmate. He writes songs, sings and plays guitar. His first two attributes are just great and he's working on the third.



Right now, my colleague JAK is staying with us as well. There are some issues ther e as well but they are not worth mentioning now.



The main thing is that I find Mumbai very very very attractive and seductive. Just roam out to any place on the seafront in the evening and you will enjoy sights which are so friggin beautiful that you could write about 34 poems at a stretch each and every single day. The colors of the night sky, the amazing trail of light from vehicles, Victorian architectre, well-maintained roads/gardens etc; everything is so fucken awesome!



This is why I love this place. And I'm not even gotten close to the art scene yet. A couple of dozen good movies are there in theatres at any given time. There are art museums, theatre with plays, libraries and many such stuff round the year. I'm going to have to find time to explore them in my future whole life here.



Another awesome thing, I'm not missing home at all. I'm just missing the company of Dr. R, Ray, Chuck, May etc. I talk to them over phone. But that's just not like real time talk. But I guess I gotta take that in stride.



Sexually, I have not even started trying. The biggest landmark of me coming out to Lestat and he accepting me is over with. Although we haven't yet talked in detail about this, I think the situation is okay. At times, he drive me nuts saying that this is not what I want. I guess I will talk it out sometime later.



I plan to venture to a meeting of gays and lesbians the coming weekend. I hope I can pull it off.



Meanwhile, my course starts on the 2nd of May. After that, I won't be doing regular blogging. But I'll try to do my level best to give an update or something of that sort.



Honestly, I've so much to write about that I can't believe that I'm going to finish this post now. I'll try to get some stuff typed at Lestat's computer and then post it.



Till then, I'm back exploring this wonderful place!
