COMING OUT ? SCRIBBLINGS FROM THE HEART

I am Kritagya. I am an ordinary man. A human just like you. I laugh, I cry, I feel, I eat & drink and I sleep. And yet I am considered different. Through my book 'COMING OUT.... scribblings from the heart', which will be available in stores soon, I have opened my real self to everyone. My reality is that my sexual orientation is gay. I explain, through these scribblings, my feelings, my confusion and my fears when I realized I was gay and the discrimination I faced when others came to know about my sexuality. This book is an account of my journey through life and the strong message I want to give to this world is that homosexuals are also human. We were created by the same God as everyone else on this Earth. We also have the right to live and be happy. Sexual orientation is not a choice but is a biological reality over which no one has any control. My struggles through my journey will, I hope, resonate with many like me and would be an eye opener for those who are on the other side of the closet. I am sure after people read this book, they will have a deeper understanding of the pain and torment that we, with alternate sexuality, go through and will look at us with greater compassion. I am an ardent devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba (an incarnation of God) and have explained through this book how Sai came to my rescue during my coming out and in other difficult phases of my life. My devotion to Him is complete. My name Kritagya means extremely thankful or indebted and I am indebted to my Sai for being with me...always. I can be reached at frienddd@rediffmail.com.
