A new beginning
Guys! Guess what? I got a job in Cisco. Im moving to San Francisco. Dream job, Dream city. I have a month to move. I really really hope to meet lot of Desi gay folks there. I cant wait to eat in the south indian restaurants. I hope to live downtown within walking distance of the gay neighbourhood and am looking for places to stay around that area. It feels right.
One of my best friends, LordOfHearts, came out. His wife EternalGirlfriend is devastated. Strangely his in laws living in chennai took it well and were comforting her explaining how difficult it was to be gay in india. But her friends in the US are saying the worst things about him.
I sat with her in a coffee shop holding both her hands in mine and all she could say with tears in her eyes was, "I am so understanding of gays, why is this happening to me? This is not fair". "All gay people are evil, I tell you", she says with a teary eyed smile taunting me to react as we both burst out laughing.
Her friends apparently suggested that me, the great duncehappy had somehow infected her husband. I told her that she knew better than that. She said she did, but made me promise that I would never sleep with her husband. I did so.
I dont know weather my move has come at a good or a bad time. I feel like a few more months here and I could have comforted them more. But on the other hand I feel that even my good friends now could not help thinking if somehow I had something to do with him, "becoming" gay. I know no one will say such things to my face. But what if they were thinking it. I cant quite help them.
He seems to be doing okay. We hung out at the mall "not talking" about his impending divorce. I figured he might need a break from all the explaining he has had to do. A five year marriage. Over.
I have arranged for movers, for the car to be shipped etc. I am in the process of packing my stuff. Just over five years. Feels like a chapter is ending. A chapter of what? I dont know exactly, but I am excited thinking about the new people I am going to meet. Who will become close to me? Will I die alone? What if I need help im my old age.
Oh! f*** that. I'm moving to the Gay capital city. San Francisco!!! Where's the nightlife? :)
But seriously, I will find a guy, I will have two kids and I will send them over to my parents house for the summer to get rid of them.
I'm high on SF , right now.
