My focus was solely on the next generation in the LGBTQ community.
ON OCTOBER 19, 1983, all it took was a blind date and an hour-long walk on a beach in Oman to realise “This is it”; that this person was beyond special, and whoever was going to get him would be lucky. Six months later, Cupid’s arrow struck deliciously deep. I was the lucky person to get Jerome Marrel as my partner for life. Of course, there were apprehensions. To start with, he is French. My folk commented that, hopefully, this was not a summer romance, and that I would be dumped with a broken heart. However, when the family met him, those doubts flew out the window.
When I look back, 23 seems too young to make up one’s mind. But, over the years, the bond grew stronger. From Oman to Los Angeles, Paris, Istanbul, Bombay and Goa, and brief stints in Lisbon and New York, the world was truly our oyster, till we finally put down roots in Goa.
