Very well written Gokul. You really take the readers' emotions along with the hero's! And you've been bold enough to touch such a subject too...

hi gokul
well written story
- From: NOV (@ cache1.jaring.my)
on: Wed Mar 17 03:42:06
Gokul - First of all, congratulations for having the courage to write on an alternative life-style theme.
If not for the remarks made by some here and your message on the theme during our "chat" I would have completely missed the point in this story. The word "tubelight" must have been invented for me. :-))
Okay some questions and things to ponder:
1. Why the almost total avoidance of mentioning the gayness? Are we phobic by any chance? :-))
2. Why is there a need for the hero to mention his preference to his parents? If I were the father, I'd feel better off without the knowledge. I mean besides unburdening himself at the expense of his parents, what else does he hope for?
3. Why last time at the river? Is he planning to elope? :-)))
Ok, I understand that you want to leave some questions unanswered.
4. After three stories, your anti-climax ending is becoming predictable. :-)))
Anyway, I enjoyed the story.

Nov, Thanks for your comments.
1. The avoidance of mentioning gayness is not because of any phobia. IMO, it is not necessary, since it is very vividly explicit in the story.
2. I guess it is selfishness from the aspect of
the hero, but remember even he is going to undergo emotional disturbances afterwards. Also, the parents are pushing for marriage. So, I guess there is a need to let the cat out.
3. Last time at the river is a metaphor. He thinks his life with his parents and in the constricted soceity will not be the same once they know his sexual preferences. IMO, still,there is no place in Indian soceity for gays.
4. Anti-climax?:-) You are correct and I have realized that. Infact I dont even want to have a climax for my stories, but then somewhere it has to stop [to spare the readers:-)].

hi gokul,
really a very good narration.
Sorry for the comments that follow this,
Eventhough I dont have the rights to
oppose your thoughts. I somehow feel this "gay concept" has somehow fascinated Indians.(!!)
This is third story I m reading in this section.
Everyone is trying to use this in orthodox Indian families, which I think is not so correct
eventhough it gives the pleasure of reading some different story.
I really mesmerised by your previous stories "maranam" & "peiyerilla kadhai". Those are really natural flow. But this story somehow tries to kindle the readers interests in different way.
I felt it equivalent to "Kavarchi" in Tamil cinema ( or atleast they name so )
By this I m not trying to say the story is
bad. Hope u understand what I m trying to say.
Bye
Srikrishnan.

Srikrishnan,
Thanks for your sincere comments.
The constricted views of Indian Soceity on sexual preferences are what triggered
this story. The gay theme was not used to be in line with the current trend.
Thanks for your nice words on maraNam and peyarillaadha kadhai.
Looking forward to seeing more from you in the Hub.
Gokul

Gokul,
I'm finally coming around to this story. The tension, the central character's regret about not being able to satisfy his parents are very palpable.
I know what I'm going to say is asking for a different story but I was dying to see him break the news to his dad and anxious to see how you would have handled that scene but . . .
I liked NOV's questions and your answers.

Thanks Udhaya for your comments. Glad you liked it.
Yes, him breaking the news to his parents would have been an interesting story. But that
is different from what I wanted to write about. My main intent was to focus on his
agony.
Hope to see read your comments on my other stories too.
