Re: PLWHA - Matrimonial

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum members,

This is Geoffrey again just wanting to reflect on this post from Dr Pandey.

Part of what this post says is that the client is living with this

biological setback and is seeing at as what it should be for all indians, a

chronic manageable illness.

Not only is he planning to continue his life in a positive living capacity

he is also prepared to share the journey with someone else. It is the first

glimpse I have had in India of what is commonplace in Australia and of course

should be here also.

That Dr Pandey has agreed to assist in the matchmaking has also indicated

that it is seen by him as a normal part of his healing practice. Congratulations

Ved.

BTW for all those readers who are wondering where I am I am in Gujarat and i

had a simply wonderful time in manekchowk markets in ahmedabad with a whole

host of under 14 yr old school kids who are mostly able to speak

english and a whole lot of people who joined the group with much discussion

about hiv-aids and sexuality, lots of translations, lots of coffee and much

laughter interspersed of course with cricket talk and questions about

Australia.

Some of these people were also teachers, a large proportion were

same sex attracted males, part of the 100 million estimated same sex

attracted Indian population statistics. Final question before I got into the

Rickshaw to go home was " Are you coming back again tomorrow night? " How long

are you staying in Ahmedabad " ? What a great time I am having apart from the

difficulties of finding non veg cooks and non spicy food and of course the

hopeless Airtel cell phone service which tells me how many voice mail

messages I have but won't let me listen to them.

Next stop Delhi.
