    I doubted this too. There is a possibility.
    But what I doubt is, he speaks against Gays. Our office has a non-discriminatory policy on this.
    But this guy speaks very much against Gays, as if it is a psychological issue.

    I doubted him as impotent, asexual or may be inferior psychologically. I don't know, and I don't really care. Just, felt curious about this matter; hence posted.
    Thanks

    Lay your fears of ridicule to rest. At my creaky age, and in this century, both men and women are fearful of dating the uninitiated who had never been in a prior relationship. The story touched upon intimacy though had a common resonance of falling in love and transformed even in fleeting circumstances. A chirpy and delightful story. I detest mournful and profound love stories.

    The concept of love is blithely self-defined rather than bludgeoned and instructed to endure, hence people fall in and fall out of love as our definition of being in love evolves with time more than the partner we have chosen to be in love with. This ubiquitous phenomenon is misinterpreted as complex manifestation of human emotion, am i still in love with you? wherein, one should probe, what is love to me these days. I usually notice in people that their self-definition of love fluctuates with time over any changes the partner might or might not been susceptible to. They choose to exit from the moribund relationship to find someone who suits the reformed definition or consciously decide to remain together and freeze their semantics and taxonomy with love.

    Are you kidding me? It might be the only book on the shelf with no envious competitors as I do not own physical books. But I should buy a bookshelf first to fulfill this fancy. Your book will be dignified as the sole occupant of the 'nook', the rack, and the entire shelf.

    You are sweet beyond honeyed gumdrop. Thank you.

    Erm, I am just a blundering mucker in those billions, who has no cook books above their ovens for handy reference. Because my cooking is Getafix styled with a pinch of this and a dash of that by stirring the stew, smack the lips, more salt, little pepper and so forth. Wild and unordered to the highest degree! Cook books in their systemic lettering frighten me. :confused:

    That is the biggest sign he is a gay in denial or in hiding.

    So true. Keep the tone cursory and "no big deal" and people will follow that. Maybe after an initial expression of sympathy or unwanted inquiry, but soon even the most pesky customers get the drift.

    "Willful to diminish it to its nothingness", "could be sterilized to a pedestrian fact"
    Note to self: when you amble over to the I am Thankful thread, remember "thankful for the happenstance of reading such posts and composition."

    Wisdom is great. When presented so well, beautiful.

    ==================
    Blinky? : ) No offence but that is like a child choosing a name for a pet under a time crunch induced duress at the rescue center.
    Mom: I have to fill a name in this form. Give me a name now. Pronto. Or we are leaving without.

    j/k. I recall reading your post about the name. BTW, this time, it took me some posts before the realization.

    The conversation was to the tune of:

    "Mom, what should we call our iguana."
    "Hey, you, watch where you are driving, we are on our way to adopt a dangerous lizard. (turning around in the car) Sweety, you could also have a lapdog or a goldfish for a pet? Do you still want some droopy lizard?"

    "Mom! How many times I told that household pets don't charm me. I shall name it ..."
    "Just name it ignoo."
    "Mom!! That is so typical mommy-like input. Can't you think edgy?"
    "No one mentioned that motherhood is not only nerve-wracking to name their baby but frightful to provide cliff-hanging names to their children's whimsical pets. You still have time to adopt a dog. Think."

    (At the rescue center)

    "Mom! Look ...at that ...that ..."
    "What is that cactus-grown animal?"
    "Mom! He is so handsome."




    "What's with his eye tic? Is he undecided to even blink?"
    "Mom ...he resists that eye blink and resists ...with his will."
    "I might take him to my Schopenhauer lecture to propose my understanding of The World as Will and Representation in an iguana. Given how long he contemplates for a blink, we should just dignify that defiant feat in him as Blinky."

    "Mom! You are a genius." (kisses her)

    When a huge chunk of the human race can manage to confuse their "L" and "R" in their pronunciations, a name like "Brinky" would surely stand on the brink, or edge.

    And besides, the name "Blinky" sounds like a washout from a stare competition:

    Recently at someone’s place talk about caste system and sub-sects came up. I was asked if my kids were raised according to a particular belief system . My kids hardly would’ve heard words related to our /other’s community/caste leave alone their practices or beliefs.

    Should our next generation be aware of this ?

    "US Citizen Caste Certificate" was the title of a thread from a year ago, with only the OP's post. No responses:
    The local practices (higher education, government-jobs) require children to learn about their caste. For parents raising their children outside of India, this may not be useful. However, it may be relevant in the sense that one has to learn about one's own history, and culture.

    Why should a normal hetrosexual men speak against Gay men ? This itself appears as a compensatory phenomena. To compensate the reality that he himself could be gay.
