Re: g_b party permits

[Bloot Fontaine]

Dear Mr. Tintin, The "official" place to procure a one day or any other permit 
in MUMBAI is near Old Customs House, Horniman Circle, Mumbai. I am really not 
sure how much a one day permit would cost, but it would be less than one 
hundred rupees. Please do keep necessary identification handy. Passport, 
driving licence, MTNL latest paid phone bill, Income Tax Permanent Account 
Number (P.A.N.) Card, Rent receipt, Voter Identity Card etc. are some of the 
documents accepted by the people issuing permits. I do not know what the exact 
name of the office is, but either others on this list will provide more 
valuable information in detail or you can check in some govt. office in that 
building or from people hanging about aimlessly outside. Ya, there are always 
people hanging about aimlessly everywhere in Mera Bharat Mahaan! Hahahahaha!
Regards.

Just a serious query

Which are the places, other than officials, where one can get
temporary permits? One Day Permit?
and How much it costs?

If those in Mumbai hurry they'll just be able to catch a screening of The Best 
Exotic Marigold Hotel before it will, most probably, go at the end of this 
week. 

Its not a great film, but a very pleasant one - very superior timepass due to 
the gallery of wonderful Brit actors who have been assembled for it: Judi 
Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Celie Imrie, Penelope Wilton. 
Its based on a novel, Deborah Moggach's These Foolish Things, which is also 
very good timepass. 

The story is about a bunch of elderly Brits who find themselves in a hotel in 
India because they can't afford to stay or its too unpleasant to stay in the UK 
any long - they are essentially being outsourced to India which, we're told, is 
much more respectful of its elderly. 

Of course, it helps if the elderly are white and I wondered if the film would 
be annoying because of cliches about India and bad writing for the Indian 
characters. There is a touch of this, but not that much. You get exotic India, 
but also modern day India where a girl climbs into her boyfriend's room for sex 
(and leads to a neat little lesbian joke). 

Most of the Indian characters aren't badly written, but the dialogue for the 
lead desi character, Sunny, who runs the hotel, is really bizarre and a bit 
silly. But Sunny is played by Dev Patel who's cute and manages to make even the 
silliness sound plausible. The other Indian character who starts off well, but 
ends rather flat is, sadly, the wonderful Lilette Dubey. 

SPOILER ALERT - STOP NOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THE FILM AND DON'T WANT TO 
KNOW MORE

But the film is really about the elderly Brits and since they are played by 
these amazing elderly Brit actors they are all amazing. And the reason I'm 
writing about this on these mailing lists is that one of the best performances 
is put in by Tom Wilkinson who plays a retired High Court judge who's gay and 
had spent his childhood in India, and has now returned looking for the Indian 
boyfriend he was forcibly separated from when their love affair was discovered 
and had to leave behind in his youth. 

This is just one story among many in the film, but I think it stood out for 
being quite amazingly moving. You realise what a trauma the separation had been 
for Graham, the judge, and the guilt he had carried all his life for the 
problems he felt his Indian lover must have faced, because he was a servant for 
Graham's family and he and his family were immediately dismissed when the 
affair was discovered. 

So after a lifetime of concealing this - and a lifetime in which, in the UK, at 
least being openly gay became possible - Graham has come back to Jaipur to try 
and find his lover Manoj. And he does and finds that Manoj has, as might have 
been expected, been married off, yet they meet again and it is a wonderfully 
moving reunion, and also what happens after. 

To its credit, the film doesn't forget Manoj's wife and you get a sense of her 
story and how she knew about Graham and was able to accept it too. It helps 
that she is played by a truly truly amazing actress, Neena Kulkarni, who I 
think is well known on the Marathi stage, and who can convey incredible and 
subtle volumes in just her few scenes. (She was also truly wonderful as the 
lead character in one of the three films that makes up Sachin Kundalkar's film 
Gandh). 

Manoj is also played by a fine character actor, Rajendra Gupta and he does his 
role with warmth and dignity, and makes what could have a sad story quite 
beautiful and moving. This is really worth seeing the film for and, as I said, 
the rest of it is also very good time pass.

g_b Doubt

[Bestfriend foryou]

Sometime back, i met a guy whose age is 22 and i am 46 years old from Mumbai.  
I thought he is a gay as he was also interested in making friendship with me.  
He is from a poor family and looking for a job and has not got any.  I tried to 
help him and we started going for movies and meeting daily.  However, one day 
in a the cinema hall, i tried to hold his hands as i was very much atttracted 
to this guy.  He guided my hand to his dick and i masturbated him in the cinema 
hall itself.  I decided that he is a gay.  But, when i tried to do this again 
in the next movie he told me that, he does not like that, as he is not a gay 
and straight.  I asked him why did he allow me to do in the first time.  He 
told me that, since i am spending money for him and takes care of his 
requirements, he thought he want to help me in this way, but he told me that, 
he did not like definitely.  I told him that, if he want to continue the same 
way or not.  Again, he told me that,
 he is not a gay and does not like this. but he told me that, he would 
certainly allow me to do that, since, he want to help as i am helping him with 
money and friendship.  I told him that, i dont want to force anything and he 
told me that, though he does not like, he will allow me to hold his dick and 
do.  His dick gets hardened only after i continuously press it.
My query is that, is this guy telling lie that, he is not a gay or he is really 
straight and trying to help me because, i am helping him with money?
Please clarify this doubt.
