THE MISFIT - Part 1


So, what is "normal,”? It’s basically whatever society considers acceptable based on their beliefs and the standards they've set. But does that really make sense? And where does our right to be ourselves fit into all of that? And then there's homosexuality - do people just wake up one day and decide to be gay? How do we wrap our heads around this?

There isn't some magic gene that determines someone's sexual orientation. Your DNA can't tell if you're gay or straight. It's not just about biology, psychology, or life experiences - sexuality isn't a conscious choice you make, it's just a part of who you are. No one really knows for sure what causes someone to be gay, just like how you know you're straight.

Some people still believe being gay is a choice, often pointing to religious reasons, but that's not entirely accurate. Old prejudices and fears play a big role here. Even if we acknowledge that sexuality exists on a spectrum, many still think it's fixed and unchangeable, but our desires can shift based on our experiences.

When it comes to faith and relationships, some seek guidance from their beliefs. Ancient Hindu texts acknowledge that being gay can be natural, advising parents on how to handle it, without condemning it. Being homosexual is just a part of who someone is and should be accepted without judgment.

I remember when I first came out as gay, someone actually asked me when I decided to be gay, which seemed pretty ridiculous. It's like asking when you started liking a certain food or drink - it's not a conscious decision. Our desires evolve and develop over time based on our experiences and environment.

Humanity isn't solely defined by biology; we're shaped by a variety of factors, with our surroundings influencing who we become. The notion of homosexuality as taboo needs to be challenged - it's not about being "normal" or following some rigid standard. Each person has the right to love and be loved, regardless of their sexual orientation.

For me, it's not about being born gay or straight - I see myself as a human being with the freedom to express myself, discover my preferences, and above all, to love and be loved.

Ravana: A Man of Great Potential and Terrible Mistakes by LordSeeths

  Ravana’s story in the Ramayana is not just about a villain trying to defeat the good guy, but about a human being with real flaws, struggles, and contradictions. His character resonates with so many of the complexities we face in our own lives his virtues and vices aren’t black and white, they’re a mix of light and shadow, much like how we all struggle with our strengths and weaknesses.

Mahabharata Simplified by LordSeeths

The Mahabharata is one of the two great epics of ancient Indian literature, the other being the Ramayana . It's a complex and multi-layered text, with stories, teachings, and philosophical lessons that have shaped Indian culture for thousands of years. At its core, the Mahabharata is a story of the Kurukshetra War , a grand battle between two groups of cousins—the Pandavas and the Kauravas —but its scope goes far beyond just the war itself. 1.

THE BATH OF DEATH

THE BATH OF DEATH or what is also known as 'Senicide'. A common practice in India till to date especially in villages. Many questioned how is this cruel compared to euthanasia? Who do we blame? Can education alone solve the social issue?  What sickens me more is, they justify this sinful act saying it is the will of God. It has become a lucrative business in India.  Well, read on what exactly is done to elders by their own children who look at them as burden.  The body is massaged with coconut oil, castor and sesame oils, usually at dawn. After this, the person is given a cold bath and put to bed. The body temperature soon dips, often to a lethal extent. After 15 minutes, the person is made to drink a few glasses of tender coconut water and a glass of milk. This causes renal failure. In a day or two, the person catches a fever and dies. If the oil and coconut water failed, the person would be given a glass of mud mixed with water or a bun which will be forced down their t...
