I remember i was discussing my credulity with a beautiful girl that how easily i trust people. I cited two lines of a famous Hindi song Aadmi hoon aadmi se pyaar karta hoon (I am a human being and love fellow human beings). And she immediately broke into laughter saying ab pata chala (now i know) why are you single? I was immediately classified as a case of gender bender.
In India, you quite often come across people in full blown mascara and foundation talking about their son and wife. In one such instance, i congratulated one of my acquaintances when her ooops his wife delivered a baby boy. I said, "family ka pehla mard mubarak ho (congrats for first male member of family)." It's bad - isn't it. It's a kind of stereotype our society is victim of.
I subjected my friend with mockery because he could not lead the life he wanted to। I became subject of mockery because people still find it difficult to swallow that being a gay is not fashionable or a choice. It's natural.
