Grief is the only proof that I love and I love well. Love and grief are actually intertwined with each other and as "Akif Kichloo" once wrote, "the opposite of grief is not laughter or happiness or joy. It is love. It is love. It is love."

How does this benefit us (queer people)? Our only question is everyone participates when Pride is nearing There's a variety of designs, engaging in makeup and costumes! Look at me & Aravind, We have been sloganing, "We want our Rights!" for the last 20 years What impact our voice has had.. in media and other spaces Nobody advocates on television, in the media. We have those conversations. We speak up. We are the middle class. We are from the streets. We speak up. How do you not consider to think about this? We agree that you have an education. Please join us, sit with us, fight for our rights. We all have to work on this. [ applause ]

There's one more thing. I am a trans person. What is very important here (in India), Caste- Class. It is very Important. Meaning, who knows English, they don't face a problem. Pride for them is dress up, covering, and what not We are the ones who fight on the roads, We are the ones who beg, it is all of us. When engaging in sex work, the police who catches us, the wealthy are unharmed. They book rooms in 3-star, 5-star hotels and engage in their trade We don't have a problem at all. In the fight for gender issues, and fight for trans rights; everyone must participate. They attend only pride, Amma! In pairs of two, all couples They dress up, wear make-up, and then leave.

The relationship between a girl and the random shit on her bedside table

[halfapoem]

I'm not interested in heaven unless my anger gets to go there too. I’m not interested in a happy eternity unless I get to spend an eternity on anger first. Let me speak for the meek and say that we don’t want the earth, if that’s where all the bodies are buried. If we are resurrected at the end of the world, I want us to assemble with a military click, I want us to come together as an army against what happened to us here. I want us to bring down the enemy of our suffering once and for all, and I want us to loot the pockets, and I want us to take baths in the blood.
