It was on his 17th birthday, on the 19th June 1973. A lavish 
birthday party, Las Vegas was the theme. All the guests were in the best of their appearances. Sujoy, however was in a dilemma. He, for the first time in his life was in a jittery position. why? How? When? Is it normal? What should I do next? How can i confirm it? These were the questions he asked himself, when he felt the gush of his hormones when a pal of his hugged him.
He was almost in disgust with himself. He ran toward the washroom. Locked it from within. Looked into the mirror and slapped himself. As though he wasn't allowed to be who he really was. As if what he felt was wrong. His disbelief left him in tears,birthday party, Las Vegas was the theme. All the guests were in the best of their appearances. Sujoy, however was in a dilemma.

hidden from the world, his social group who were celebrating for him. He cried his heart out in his loneliness. This time it was not about society or family, it was about self acceptance. 38 years back, when the concept of homosexuality either resulted into alienation or just sentenced as 'empowerment of the body by an evil spirit' meanwhile, Sujoy preferred to be silent. Sujoy didn't know what to do, and whom to consult and perhaps did what anybody would have. He is a divorcee today. As soon as the 377 act was passed by the jurisdiction, he knew that he didn't have the right to ruin another life.
No sooner than he fled to Madrid, hoping that he would never, have to turn around and come back; did he meet the other part of his soul, Stefano. At the age of 35, Sujoy was finally happy, he was content with what he had.
Stefano encouraged Sujoy to come back to his nation and help the youth of his country.
not everyone is strong enough to take a stand and Sujoy was one of them.

This one is for those you either don't understand homosexuality or are simply adamant, not to accept. You are accepted as an individual, its time you learn to ACCEPT!. Its time to spread your arms and embrace people who fight and argue with themselves. Seek the courage to understand their agony. Pull them out of their rage and insecurities about survival. Help them believe in what they are.
According to several studies, 60% of gays in India don't agree to conduct any surveys. They are rather embarrassed about themselves. From the remaining 40%, 98 out of 100 would rather marry a person of the opposite sex, than accept who they are. ONLY 2% of the Indian population who are gay, have shook hands with the desires of their soul and body. Lets lessen the difference, get our pals together. Be proud of your friends and family who confess to you! Love them and express to them, how much they are wanted!
