Chapter 2: Friend or Foe? The class was as boring as it could get. The only respite Ryan had was the hot guy sitting next to him. Ryan tried to strike a conversation with him but was unsuccessful. "Hey, I'm Ryan. So I guess we'll be sitting together now, huh?" Ryan went red as he realized what a lame thing he had said as the other guy looked at him like he was from Mars or something. "I'm Josh, and yes, we'll be sitting together now." With that he turned back towards Mr. Bryce. Ryan

Chapter 1: All That Was. "He has been hurt really bad", mumbled God All Mighty as St. Peter stood by his side. "I know, My Lord, but it would go against all of our principles. And besides, what would we tell others? What about the consequences of such an act?" replied St. Peter in a very grave tone. "I don't care!! It is HIM we're talking about!" God shouted back and continued in a calmer voice, "I apologize, but think about the consequences if we don't do anything." "Whatever you wi

What would you do if you had absolute power? The power to do anything in your life. To control and change everything around you at your will. What would you do if you became God? Would you do a Superman and set out to help the world, or would you do a Adolf Hitler and let yourself be consumed by power.

“Anju!” Raj Singhania shouted to his wife as he entered his house. “O Anju! Where are you?” Entering the drawing room, he plopped down on the sofa, putting his legs on the center table. “ANJU!!” he called out again to his wife. Anju Singhania entered the drawing room with a plate in her hand. The plate contained materials used in puja (prayer) - incense sticks, rose petals, water from the holy Ganges, red-coloured powder for tilak and a small piece of laddoo. Her lips were moving in consta

Sangharsha I Perseverance By: BeaStKid Karan detested the road he was about to turn into. He hated it with a passion, especially at this hour of the night. He didn’t despise the road, per se; he was rather wary of the scum that dwelled in the shadows of the street at night. These were the kind of people that made his stomach churn. To Karan’s utter misfortune, he had to travel through that road every night. His schedule was such, that it didn’t permit an altern

Nakul is running away. From what, and why, is something Karan and Varun intend to discover.

Saviour By: BeaStKid “Watch out!” Varun screamed. Karan swerved his small Maruti 800 in an effort to avoid hitting the man that had just appeared in front of the car. He applied the brakes at the same instant, sending the car into a spin. Fortunately for the two passengers, the car came to stop just inches away from the man. “Where the hell did he come from? Thank God the road was deserted or else we would have been dead by now,” Karan hissed angrily as the man fell down on the hoo

Karan and Varun have battled the society for the past five years and the time has come to celebrate their struggles.

Sangharsha Celebrations By: BeaStKid “Nervous?” Varun asked Karan, his boyfriend. “Of course, this is the day that I have been waiting for forever.” “We, we both have been waiting for it,” Varun corrected him, placing an arm around his waist. Karan nodded, leaning onto Varun for support. They were standing outside the Delhi High Court, waiting for Dost’s lawyers to come out. Dost, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) working for the rights of sexual minorities in Ind

Would You... by: BeaStKid “Do you really think I should do this?” Andy asked his friends, who had surrounded him. “Of course, dude. It is now or never. You have to do it or else you won’t ever be able to. Go for it, man!” Mason egged him on. Andy looked to Melissa for help. Out of all the kids in his group, Mel was the only one who thought with the right brain, even if Mason hotly debated that fact. Chris was not surprised. He knew that Mel was the one who held the cards where

Okay....so, I am late, but this does come as a great news. I wrote a lengthy piece on this on my external blog. So, yes. This piece of legislation applies to the whole country. The Supreme Court, in a ruling in 2006, has given power to all High Courts to 'expand' their jurisdiction in cases pertaining to Parliamentary Laws. Since the IPC is a nation-wide law, it falls into this category. Also, since the Supreme Court itself asked the Delhi High Court to look into the matter, it is understood that the legislation applies to the whole country. Lastly, as this is a first in its case, there is no precedence for such a ruling. Hence, it HAS to be applied to the whole country. Section 377 still remains in the rule-books and it will continue to do so in the near future, judging by what the government is saying. It is only the interpretation of the law that has been changed....to not include consensual same-sex. Hopefully, this is the start of something new and positive for the Indian Gay Community....
