g_b Gay Themed Movie Released - Memories in March
Sensitive and refreshing take on a gay relationship - Memories in March Story: Deepti Naval http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=Deepti%20Naval rushes to Kolkata to collect the remains of her son who died in a car accident. But she ends up collecting a collage of memories of the days her son spent with his lover, Rituparno Ghosh http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Rituparno-Ghosh and his colleague, Raima Sen. More importantly, she comes face to face with a facet of her son's personality which she finds hard to accept But only, initially. Movie Review: Alternate sexuality may have become a popular theme in Indian cinema, but most of the films dealing with this controversial topic lack sensitivity and choose to dwell on it, either in a comic vein or in a shock-and-awe tenor. Memories in March http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=Memories%20in%20March\ scores because it looks at homosexuality as a normal fact of life, Of course, there is the initial shock that conventional mom, Deepti Naval, displays when she learns of her son's preference for the bald Rituparno Ghosh over the pretty Raima Sen. Her attitude towards him changes from friendliness to resentment when she learns of the special bond he shared with her departed son. And like all conventional mothers, she wishes she had known about her son's sexual preferences before, so that she could have consulted her psychiatrist friends Gently and subtly, the change occurs and the grieving mother discovers a warm and sensitive person in her son's companion. Shared dinners, shared memories, shared grief, poignant revelations, a bit of poetry and prolonged silences create a bond between the mother and her son's friends (Rituparno, the lover and Raima, the girl who loved him) that may not fill the aching void, but it does help to pick up the strings of life again. The film boasts of some smart writing (Rituparno Ghosh), a totally uncluttered and naturalistic directorial style (Sanjoy Nag http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=Sanjoy%20Nag ) and consummate performances by the three protagonists, specially Deepti Naval who is a treat to watch with her nuanced act of a mother who tries to bravely cope with loss and longing.

Well, the point is that the book just happens to be pretty well written and is not 'Shit'. AND IT DOES NOT AT ANY PLACE SPEAK OF GANDHI'S SEXUALITY. NOT EVEN IN THE PASSING. I took time out to read it so that I know the facts before I even commented. More importantly those who are calling it a 'shit' without reading it are the worst form of idiots who will belive any canard without having the capacity to make up their own minds. They say an empty vessel sounds much, and these guys just prove the point. They are dumb enough not to be able to read the book, maybe even understand it, but would make pompous claims of one cannot read every shit. They should make better efforts to at being intellectually honest. Otherwise they should just shut up.

The book is nothing that the review claims and there is no indication or even wording about Gandhi's sexuality. It is a complete fabrication of a sensationalist and partially deranged reviewer. So this is what I suggest. Before you get into a frenzy aka shiv sena, and start beating up the writer and burning libraries, please read the book.

According to the author of the book, he has discovered facts about Gandhiji's sexual life from letters written by Gandhi to Kallenbach. In such a case, instead of even discussing Gandhiji's sexuality, would it not be a lot more pertinent to admire and even revere the honesty with which he preserved those letters so that his life could openly be studied? Never mind what his sexuality was, he was truthful, honest, open and courageous about any and everything!

In the past, many have complained that they see too many personal advertisements on the list. So a restriction of 2 personal advertisements per month has been imposed.

In case you want to reply to a members personal advertisement, kindly click on the persons email address.

Hi Have you stopped getting emails from this group suddenly? It is highly unlikely that your name has been deleted from the list. We do not delete anybodys membership until and unless the person repeatedly spams or sends pornographic/crude emails you might not be getting your mails is because your email is on the bouncing list. Some members have trouble with bouncing e-mails: Messages that are sent out by the group cannot be delivered to their mailboxes and are sent back to Yahoo. This can happen for various reasons, for example, when their mailboxes are full, or their e-mail addresses have become obsolete, etc. Yahoo doesn't tolerate bouncing mails and will deactivate these persons' memberships. It will, however, send you a reactivation request. All you have to do is reply to that (once you've fixed the problem with your mailbox), and Yahoo will resume sending you the messages. We will also send out these requests daily. Bounced Messages If you subscribe to a Yahoo Groups discussion group under one of the e-mail options (normal or digest), Yahoo Groups will suspend sending mail to you after repeated attempts bounce back. To see your recent bounced messages, view your Yahoo Groups preferences at http://groups.yahoo.com/myprefs and click Bounce history for your e-mail address. For more information on bounced-message handling by Yahoo Groups, search Yahoo Groups help for the word bounce. Why does it say my account is bouncing? If group messages sent to your email address are returned to Yahoo! Groups as undeliverable (bouncing), your Yahoo! Groups account may be temporarily disabled. Messages can be returned for several reasons: Your mailbox may be full -- try deleting messages from your Inbox. Your ISP may have a backlog of email to process -- contact your ISP. Your ISP may be blocking email from Yahoo! Groups -- contact your ISP. In many cases, Yahoo! Groups can automatically reactivate your account once the delivery problem is solved. However, in some cases you will need to manually reactivate your account: 1. Visit your My Groups page. 2. Look for a bounce alert near the top of the page. 3.

g_b File - Tired of too many mails?
Tired of too many emails from this group? Hi All I know that this group has been generating too many emails. Many subscribers are flustered at the number of mails. Some of you might be thinking of leaving the group because you do not like your mail box to be clogged with mails. But just in case you do not know, you have the option of receiving all your emails in a digest mode or you can opt for no email mode. That way, you can see what's new on the website and still keep a clear mailbox. You will never receive mail from us if you do that. YOU choose when to visit us ... and you can check out what you like and can skip over what doesn't interest you. (Or choose Daily digest ... once or twice a day, you will receive an email -- text only -- listing all new postings ... just click on the messages link at the top of the digest to go to the web archive to see any attachments.) How ? Depending on what you opt for, you can send mail to: Digest Mode:- gay_bombay-dig...@yahoogroups.com No Mail Mode:- gay_bombay-nom...@yahoogroups.com Regards modera...@gaybombay.in
Re: g_b Informing about my marriage
Hi Aditya , That was an excellent piece of an - APRIL Fool's joke !! Guess , it takes one bong to understand another ! Tapesh M. London On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 4:23 AM, Aditya Bondyopadhyay adit.b...@gmail.comwrote: Dear All, I have been on this list for years and have been active for LGBT rights issues. I have forged friendships here and I feel a responsibility to there fore inform this group. I have been in Kolkata recently with my mom, who is getting old now and has been very lonely since my dad's death recently. My mom has convinced me that I should get married and has also settled for the girl. This will be good for her as she needs company. I am willing to make this sacrifice for her. So I have consented. The date is fixed for 5th of May. After considering all facts I have decided that it is best to not tell the girl that I have been homo in the past, because I have decided that after marriage I will become totally family man and will not be homo any more. I will also let Hillol (my present partner) live in my present house and we will only be friends like brothers, while I live seperately in another house with my wife. I request you all to wish me best in my new life. Best regards, Aditya Bondyopadhyay -- Sent from my mobile device -- ADITYA BONDYOPADHYAY Development Sector Consultant Advocate (Regd.

Thanks aditya for reading it and commenting it up Am definitely going to get the same now that i know my dollars are not for stupid reviewer of the letters who has tried to add meaning to where there was none --- On Fri, 1/4/11, Aditya Bondyopadhyay adit.b...@gmail.com wrote: From: Aditya Bondyopadhyay adit.b...@gmail.com Subject: Re: g_b on Gandhi, his loving relationship with a german body builder, and th... To: gay_bombay@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, 1 April, 2011, 12:08 PM Well, the point is that the book just happens to be pretty well written and is not 'Shit'. AND IT DOES NOT AT ANY PLACE SPEAK OF GANDHI'S SEXUALITY. NOT EVEN IN THE PASSING. I took time out to read it so that I know the facts before I even commented. More importantly those who are calling it a 'shit' without reading it are the worst form of idiots who will belive any canard without having the capacity to make up their own minds. They say an empty vessel sounds much, and these guys just prove the point. They are dumb enough not to be able to read the book, maybe even understand it, but would make pompous claims of one cannot read every shit. They should make better efforts to at being intellectually honest. Otherwise they should just shut up.

If you are for real, then you have to check the sources. As far as I am concerned I stand by my statement If there was any truth to this, British would have ruined Mahatma and taken advantage of the same, We might even be not independent today. Be careful Independence does not mean stupidity nor lack of guard in accepting everything that you come across. Mike.

And this is what I find: we are all screaming because some nitwit reviewer had to sell his/her copy and therefore came up with what can safely be termed COMPLETE BULLSHIT. The book is nothing that the review claims and there is no indication or even wording about Gandhi's sexuality. It is a complete fabrication of a sensationalist and partially deranged reviewer. So this is what I suggest. Before you get into a frenzy aka shiv sena, and start beating up the writer and burning libraries, please read the book. And id you still have bile left, reserve the boot for the reviewer for spreading canards, and withdraw it from the writer.

Bloot, point here is not appreciating Gandhiji's principle ... for long we have done that and have given up now too. Point here is, if someone writes a story about me, I think I expect people to verify the veracity of the story before believing the same. We owe the same level of respect to Mahatma. Does any one his right mind think, if there was any truth to this story, British would have destroyed Gandhi and would have taken full advantage of it. Let us think before passing mundane comments at least about a great soul. Mike.

According to the author of the book, he has discovered facts about Gandhiji's sexual life from letters written by Gandhi to Kallenbach. In such a case, instead of even discussing Gandhiji's sexuality, would it not be a lot more pertinent to admire and even revere the honesty with which he preserved those letters so that his life could openly be studied? Never mind what his sexuality was, he was truthful, honest, open and courageous about any and everything! Otherwise, today we would not have known about this and been able to criticise/praise etc. --- On Tue, 29/3/11, akshay khanna _xaefis@gmail.com_ (mailto:xae...@gmail.com) wrote: From: akshay
