About me I grew up in Bombay, which is a wildly busy and sexy city. I moved to London when I was 17 because it's easier to be gay and I love it (London, and being gay). Also, in India, you need to be massive and middle aged with an irony-free moustache to be respected- sadly I am none of these. I think London is a brilliant, fantastic city and I have met so many interesting people (and some nice men). I studied Economics and now work for an ISP.
I like intimacy, touch and cake!

About my library I am a fan of Hanif Kureishi, because he writes honestly about wanting to see joy and excitement in life, and doesn't let dreary things like absurd left-wing politics or racism get in his way.

Here's a lovely quote:
"Perhaps it is the odd mixture of continents and blood, of here and there, of belonging and not, that makes me restless and easily bored. Or perhaps it was being brought up in the suburbs that did it.

Anyway, why search the inner room when it's enough to say that I was looking for trouble, any kind of movement, action and sexual interest I could find, because things were so gloomy, so slow and heavy, in our family, I don't know why. Quite frankly, it was all getting me down and I was ready for anything.

Then one day everything changed. In the morning things were one way and by bedtime another."
--Hanif Kureishi
