Hi,
I am a 29 year old, average looking man. I come from a middle class background though now we are doing well. I have a young sister who is settled with her job in Singapore. My parents are happy and have decided to settle in hometown near Darjeeling. I stay in Delhi and work in Gurgaon. I started my career as a developer and now I am leading a team who calls me Project Manager. I have around 6-7 different friend/social circle. I have been on and off with relationships and one night stands. I was an occasional smoker but now it has increased in recent times. I drink socially and mostly prefer scotch, mild!
I was never a shy being. I used to be a talk of town, way back in college. Getting involved with college events, late night parties, hanging out with new chick on the block were standards of living back then. I was a popular in my teachers and professors. In college times, I avoided falling into relationships considering I had a mountain like career and professional life ahead. Though, it never stopped me from indulging in harmless flirting. I never felt an inclination towards getting along with someone in any way.
I encountered my first sex experience when I changed my first job and was stalked by an office chick in one of the parties. She took me to her place and started chatting. She made all moves and I was resulted into a fact that sex is very over-rated. Being a first-timer, I felt no desire or enthusiasm to have sex again.
As I started witnessing my male friends getting laid every fort-night, I got concerned and started pushing myself into dating girls every night. I was good till the time date did not reach bedroom. In bedroom, I had to ultra push myself to get into drive and mood. Something was not happening!
I was too confident to not consider it medical. No ‘THE’ tool works!
One day, cab to office broke down. We had to take bus. I was standing in a crowded bus among all guys. I was immensely worried and was in continuous thoughts of last night.
The girl called me a ‘cold murdered body in bed’. I bloody did everything possible to please her. I even watched quality porn to perform the way she could be happy and satisfied. But she weirdly acted saying that she wanted to see me happy for once at least. She said she could not find me *even for one day* happy in making love to her. I thought to myself, is ‘what she is saying’ is true? I guess I have found my answer. Not happy. Making it worst, I was even avoiding conversation with myself over this.
I brought back myself from web of thoughts and started moving mind somewhere else. Bus stopped with a very strong jerk of break on road. I fell onto guys standing before me and so did the guy behind me. This took me to utter shock in my body. No not the breaks applied by bus, but the thing I felt on my back. I am highly ashamed to accept this in writing that yes, I felt eerily nice when a male body touched mine and unknowingly felt me.
Since that day, with quiet a shame I admit that I groped many male friends of mine without their knowledge. They thought we are having some fake physical fight after four pegs like guy friends. But I made my moves, felt nice, caught hold of what most I could. They never realised it while I never had a discussion with my inner self over this. Guess, I was totally happy to finally figure out truth with me and my sexuality.
Soon, the happiness peak was crossed and parents started suggesting girls for marriage. I was nervous to the core. I had to admit the truth before I ruin some girl.
I could never. I was never able to tell this to anybody. I finally lost my battle with myself only. I said yes for a very average looking girl from very remote area of my hometown, onto which my parents were not so happy. But, at least, that guaranteed my secret to be a secret for life.
I am now married for almost 2 years. My wife does not even know ‘S’ of sex. She gets happy with whatever little I do in bed post dinner. She assumes about my happiness too or maybe she gives a damn about it.
Anyways, I plan to have a kid by next year. That will keep her busy for rest of her life. I will make sure she is not unhappy with money and comfort. Meanwhile, I have got to know about this secret club from some of the friends who attended Gay Parade last year. I am joining the club this weekend.

Life is good if you play smartly and avoid confrontations when you see mirror in the morning!
very different for ur other blogs Rachna,,, Interesting :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Prashant. .
ReplyDeleteIn a way, this write up is a sad truth...many small town girls get ruined by guys like this. But the writing was very honest. I love reading your blogs Rachna :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Farina..It was a very random thought one Saturday afternoon, which for the first time, I thought to take it out.
ReplyDeleteMore than girl, I feel pity for guy here! Lifeless fellow!
Makes me so happy that you love reading my posts :)
nicely written - your random thoughts are indeed thought provoking. I have to agree with you- feel sorry for the fellow for being a coward and ruining another gals' life; but then there are so many closet gays and the society is doing nothing to make them feel open & wanted !
ReplyDeleteThanks Priya.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, being homosexual is still a taboo in society. Still I have a feeling, the way constitution has accepted Homosexuality, society would too some day..
I like the autobiographical tone you've used to bring out a social issue. Isn't it sad that society doesn't allow people to be themselves..And worse still are the innocent victims of this.
ReplyDeletegood write up ..
ReplyDeletehonest post out there.. is it really someone's? or fictious?
I agree Corinne. Exactly this was the thought when i started writing this post.
ReplyDeleteA person who is happy to find it out but cannot express and in the hindsight, made to choose the other way around.
Thanks Soundarya.
ReplyDeleteIt is all fictitious.
Just to add, I am straight ;)
Crisply written....and honest to the core...
ReplyDelete:) Princess...

Thanks Rachit..
ReplyDeleteNicely written.Due to the social stigma attached it must be so common to lead dual lives.I cant even begin to imagine the mental dialogue.
ReplyDeleteMy world, my thoughts, my musings...
Thanks Upasana.
ReplyDeleteDual Lives it is. While drafting the post, I went through the same concept. There is no other way people can lead their life. It is sad.
I am left speechless. Perhaps, I wasn't expecting such kind of post. I feel sad for the guy because there are people in this world, in our society due to whom homosexuals are persecuted everyday and have to live a life of guilt.
ReplyDeleteThe position of the girl he marries is also apologetic.
Sad post but with a message totally worth it.
Good work!

Thank You Animesh for kind words.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very random thought in mind and I just had to be in shoes to realize the practical circumstances.
It is indeed sad but I like the way he managed life. Atleast he took care of wife's financial and family happiness. It takes courage!
lovely. :) so lovely. descriptive to the extent that it captivates you. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad personality like you attended to it :)
ReplyDeleteNice piece of writing mate. Though one wishes the guy did not feel persecuted in the surroundings, one also identifies with what he might have felt. Social taboo is an evil, but sometimes it does turn out to be an excuse to do wrong yourself...Although one wants to hate the guy for doing that to the girl, one wishes more that the girl was as forthright as maybe Konkona's character in Life in a Metro...
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work and mind your spellings :P
I would very much like the 'society' to, if not accept, but become indifferent to things that lie(no pun intended) in the realm of individual preference. Under law, it is a similar concern - I would rather have a law which does not interfere at all with whatever I do in the bedroom (and by extension in any field) "unless it jeopardises national security, public peace and public health or constitutes a fraud"...also I feel that it is not in State's realm to criminalize my sexual preference, also equally important - sometimes not emphasised enough, neither it is any business of the State to endorse it!
ReplyDeleteAlso consider the following quote in this regard:
"In Britain, for example, the age of consent for voluntary homosexuality was 21 at the time of the Sexual Offences Act of 1967; by 2000, this was lowered to 16 despite the fierces opposition of the House of Lords and the Christian churches; now there are demands for legalising gay marriages and altering the school curricula to show that man-woman relations are not the natural order of society.
Equally insidious, militant gay campaigners have made life impossible for those gays who want to lead private lives without “coming out” and flaunting their sexuality. In 1974, the Gay Liberation Front “outed” E.M. Forster and denounced him as a “downcast gay” for keeping his sexual preferences private.
A perverse in-your-face-gayness has come to define gay activism. Sadly, the media is doing its bit to encourage it."
