it definitely isn't [justified partying with straight friends]...trust the commies to do something like that, i don't see how admitting to a crime mitigates its effects, i do hope nobody thinks this a [knee] jerk reaction, luv and kisses to begum kavi, athar, sunil, sachin jain, mario, vikram doctor, sopan muller, manohar, duncan, georgina maddox, rajiv dua, asfan patel, adityada, geeta kumana, shirish gajjar, natasha et al,

Thank you Mario for posting this lovely piece by Jug Suraiya. While it
doesn't offer definitive answers, it at least tackles the issue and
helps us go beyond knee-jerk reactions.
Your mail suggests a delightful new topic for all of us to fight over.
Is it morally and ethically justified for gay people to spend New
Year's with straight friends?
I would expect responses that vary from Right to Left, Brahminical to
Non-, Orthodox to Un-, and Tolerant to In- ... But before everyone
starts, I'm ONLY JOKING, OK?
Happy New Year to everyone, wherever they partied or didn't!

For those on these lists who've been wondering about whether it was
justified to attend or organize a New Year's bash in the midst of the
tsunami tragedy, here's a nice piece that came in on New Year's day in
the Times. Personally, I did not go for the GB party, though not
because of the tsunami. I had planned on spending New Year's with
close (and admittedly, straight) friends. In any case, I think I would
agree with Jug Suraiya here, especially when he affirms the importance
of not losing hope as opposed to dwelling on the tragedy, and thus
concentrating on life more than on death.
Happy New Year!
Much love,
Mario
