g_b File - E mail problems?
Hi Have you stopped getting emails from this group suddenly? It is highly unlikely that your name has been deleted from the list. We do not delete anybodys membership until and unless the person repeatedly spams or sends pornographic/crude emails you might not be getting your mails is because your email is on the bouncing list. Some members have trouble with bouncing e-mails: Messages that are sent out by the group cannot be delivered to their mailboxes and are sent back to Yahoo. This can happen for various reasons, for example, when their mailboxes are full, or their e-mail addresses have become obsolete, etc. Yahoo doesn't tolerate bouncing mails and will deactivate these persons' memberships. It will, however, send you a reactivation request. All you have to do is reply to that (once you've fixed the problem with your mailbox), and Yahoo will resume sending you the messages. We will also send out these requests daily. Bounced Messages If you subscribe to a Yahoo Groups discussion group under one of the e-mail options (normal or digest), Yahoo Groups will suspend sending mail to you after repeated attempts bounce back. To see your recent bounced messages, view your Yahoo Groups preferences at http://groups.yahoo.com/myprefs and click Bounce history for your e-mail address. For more information on bounced-message handling by Yahoo Groups, search Yahoo Groups help for the word bounce. Why does it say my account is bouncing? If group messages sent to your email address are returned to Yahoo! Groups as undeliverable (bouncing), your Yahoo! Groups account may be temporarily disabled. Messages can be returned for several reasons: Your mailbox may be full -- try deleting messages from your Inbox. Your ISP may have a backlog of email to process -- contact your ISP. Your ISP may be blocking email from Yahoo! Groups -- contact your ISP. In many cases, Yahoo! Groups can automatically reactivate your account once the delivery problem is solved. However, in some cases you will need to manually reactivate your account: 1. Visit your My Groups page. 2. Look for a bounce alert near the top of the page. 3.

g_b Mumbai- rental accomodation available
Hey, We have a place in Mumbai that we wish to rent out. Description: Its on worli Sea face - 2nd floor, overlooks the sea. 310 sq ft, has a kitchen, one room and separate bathroom and toilet. The building is part of the MHADA reconstruction, so its quite new. Has a lift and a good garbage collection system. The people around are friendly. The entrance to the building is not too great (as parts around the building are still under construction - no noise, just dirt!) and a few small shops make the car entry road look like a small colony. But the house itself faces the sea and is really airy and open. Its great for one person, though we were 2 people living there (very comfortably, may I add). We had a fully functional kitchen and cooked regularly and have a functional gas stove, cylinder connection that we can totally keep for the incoming person. Rent: 9000 per month (we dont care if u split with someone or wanna live alone). Electricity extra (typically 250 to 300 Rs per month). Water supply: 3 times a day (1 hour each). the bathroom has a tank that stores water for the entire day so its not a problem at all. We never have water or electricity cuts. Internet: We have a set 24 hour internet broadband connection line (unlimited). U can change the plan etc. and will save on setup costs. Any other questions are welcome. Please email back only on my email for more details or if you want to see the place. We are open to renting it out as soon as possible. Thanks. Vikram Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!

g_b same-sex love in ancient Greece
http://www.achchicos.com.ar/gtv28.html [image: http://www.talariaenterprises.com/images3/6425a.jpg] n classical antiquity, writers such as Herodotus, Plato, Xenophon, Athenaeus and many others explored aspects of same-sex love in ancient Greece. The most widespread and socially significant form of close same-sex sexual relations in ancient Greece was between adult men and adolescent boys,... The ancient Greeks did not conceive of sexual orientation as a social identifier, as Western societies have done for the past century. Greek society did not distinguish desire or behavior by the gender of the participants, but by the extent to which such desire or behavior conformed to social norms. These norms were based on gender, age and social status. There is little extant source material on how females viewed sexual activity. There are two main views of male activity in ancient Greek society. Some scholars, such as Kenneth Dover and David Halperin, claim that it was highly polarized into active and passive partners, penetrator and penetrated, an active/passive polarization held to be associated with dominant and submissive social roles: the active (penetrative) role was associated with masculinity, higher social status, and adulthood, while the passive role was associated with femininity, lower social status, and youth. In this view, any sexual activities in which a male penetrated a social inferior was regarded as normal; social inferiors could include women, male youths, foreigners, prostitutes, or slaves; and being penetrated, especially by a social inferior, was considered potentially shameful. Other scholars, however, argue that male-male relations usually involved an adult male and a youth: the older male took the active (penetrative) role.They also describe them as warm, loving, and affectionate, and argue that the Greek tradition of same-sex relations was central to Greek history and warfare, politics, art, literature and learning, in short to the Greek miracle. In Athens the older man was called *erastes*, he was to educate, protect, love, and provide a role model for his beloved. His beloved was called * eromenos* whose reward for his lover lay in his beauty, youth, and promise. Elaborate social protocols existed to protect youths from the shame associated with being sexually penetrated. The *eromenos* was supposed to respect and honor the *erastes*, but not to desire him sexually. Although being courted by an older man was practically a rite of passage for young men, a youth who was seen to reciprocate the erotic desire of his *erastes*faced considerable social stigma. In the military The Sacred Band of Thebes, a separate military unit reserved only for men and their beloved youths, is usually considered as the prime example of how the ancient Greeks used love between soldiers in a troop to boost their fighting spirit. The Thebans attributed to the Sacred Band the power of Thebes for the generation before its fall to Philip II of Macedon, who was so impressed with their bravery during battle, he erected a monument that still stands today on their gravesite. He also gave a harsh criticism of the Spartan views of the band: Perish miserably they who think that these men did or suffered aught disgraceful. Pammenes' opinion, according to Plutarch, was that Homer's Nestor was not well skilled in ordering an army when he advised the Greeks to rank tribe and tribe... he should have joined lovers and their beloved. For men of the same tribe little value one another when dangers press; but a band cemented by friendship grounded upon love is never to be broken.

Re: g_b India working on herbal cure for AIDS: Kalam
I am sure herbs would work better than garlic as Thabo Mbeki of south Africa had proclaimed as a cure for HIV = Aditya B 2008/9/9 naughty confessions [EMAIL PROTECTED] India working on herbal cure for AIDS: Kalam Mon, Sep 8 06:11 PM New Delhi, Sep 8 (IANS) Indian and Japanese scientists are working on developing herbal and Ayurvedic formulations to treat the dreaded HIV/AIDS, former Indian president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam said here Monday. Indian and Japanese scientists are working together on nearly 60 plant species and have found 16 plant species which have properties to fight AIDS, said Kalam, an eminent scientist himself. He was speaking at the Southeast Asian conference on Tuberculosis and Chest Diseases after inaugurating it. He, however, did not specify the plant species or the institutes where this research was on. Kalam said the Army Medical Corps too were working on some formulations based on Ayurveda, ancient Indian system of medicine, to cure HIV/AIDS. He said herbal medicines are part of our age-old traditions and we should work on them to treat diseases. About discrimination against people suffering from AIDS and TB, he said: HIV-positive students were thrown out of a school in Kerala and many women are thrown out of in-laws' place due to TB infection. Discriminations must stop. Every one needs dignity. India is home to 2.5 million HIV/AIDS patients including over 70,000 children below the age of 14. Similarly, every year at least 320,000 Indians die of TB. Nearly 500 experts from Southeast Asian countries are in Delhi to participate in the three-day TB and Chest diseases conference here. -- Do not print this mail unless really necessary.

g_b Fwd: From Ashok Row Kavi: Section 377 -- Behind the Scenes..
-- Forwarded message -- From: Asha [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2008/9/29 Subject: [lgbt-india] Section 377 -- Behind the Scenes.. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear LGBT-listers, Firstly, let's stop this breast beating. One of the greatest fall- outs of the battle against Section 377 is the incredible process by which various communities and groups came together to develop a consensus and also get educated in the process. This kind of mobilization is the best way forward. At least I learnt a great deal from interaction with various groups, especially feminist and lesbian/bisexual women's groups. I remember when we men were talking about the violence on railway stations platforms, near public toilets and such places by the police against kothis, one woman asked me quite innocently: What are you guys doing on railway platforms and near toilets at 11 O' clock at night?. It's then I realized that most Indian women have no mobility due to the unsafe conditions in which women find themselves in. Similarly when we talked about the right to privacy, many women did not appreciate that as domestic violence takes place very much in private spaces and if these are unsafe for women, how can we demand government not intrude into our privacy. So it led to much discussion. This learning process between men and women led to a great deal of interaction which is a progressive education in each others' problems and issues around sexuality. At UNAIDS, this process was carried forward as a logical support to civil society by UN organizations across the board. Obviously, much consultation had taken for taking the fight against anti-sodomy laws forward. Both Lawyers Collective and the India Centre for Human Rights were supported vigorously over the last two years and since these two were the only ones who came forward to ask for UNAIDS support, they got whole-hearted backing from the top echelons of the UN. According to the plan by the Joint UN Team on HIV/AIDS (JUNTA), UNAIDS was to give full support to mobilize civil society against the anti-sodomy laws in India. Immense efforts have gone into sensitizing the Police Commission. top police officials, various State Home Ministers, bureaucrats, judges, magistrates and judicial clerks and officers, even jail superintendents on implications of Section 377 and its effects on all aspects of health, including mental stigmas leading from societal pressures against sexual minorities. I personally either conducted or organized meetings with High Court judges, metropolitan magistrates and Ministers in various States to sensitize them not only regarding the anti-sodomy laws but also the various recommendations for the Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act (IPTA) being proposed by ideologically backed segments. The plan at Mexico was to force the Minister of Health and Family Welfare to openly come out against Section 377 and back the NACO affidavit that supported the petition being heard in the Delhi High Court. That was majorly achieved! We thought we had done major advocacy with the Home Ministry without realizing how difficult it was to breakthrough the bureaucratese there. Towards that end, as the date for the hearing was coming nearer, a two-pager was prepared after an urgent request at 11 p.m. one night in the third week of August, for an impending Union Cabinet discussion on the subject. The two-pager is available for anybody who wishes it sent back-channel. Please ask for it by sending me an email to my personal address. By all accounts, it got a favorable response from every point of view, especially from the view of public health. Strangely, it is the bureaucrats who insisted that there were no homosexuals in India. The logic being:If there is a law against it, how can they exist, which quid bono quo is a logical argument. I was sent by Dr.Smarajit Jana of the Durbar Mahila Samayanya Samiti (DMSS) to show my face to many of these senior bureaucrats and do an educational module on the number of homosexuals and that they may exist.(obviously everywhere in India). As I was part of the NACP III Technical Resource Group, mostly of epidemiologists, demographers and economists to determine how many Men-Having-Sex-With-Men and Transgenders were urgently in need of health services, we came up with 2.35 million through library searches and grossestimates (gross estimates), itself a dicey way to determine a hidden population. The methodology of calculating this figure from census data was explained by me to community peers called in Bangalore two years ago. Previous estimates were all sending bureaucrats in the Health Ministry into ballistic denials (what nonsense, was the common reaction when I gave an estimate of between 25 to 30 million self- identified homosexuals to one). The category called homosexual is not acceptable to a lot of Indians though Men–Having-Sex-With-Men is clearly understood. So we may need more visibility in the social landscape through advocacy.

g_b (Revised Announcement) GB 10th Anniv. Picnic to Bhandardara on Sunday 05 October 2008
(THIS IS A PICNIC AND NOT A TREK, NO TRECHEROUS CLIMBING INVOLVED) Mumbai offers many an escape into little known hill stations, but perhaps none so unpretentious and charming as Bhandardara. Comfortably close to Mumbai, Bhandardara is blessed with three essentials - rejuvenating climate, luxuriant green vales and explicit serenity. The place shows with faultless precision the magnanimity of nature. Legend has it, that this is the land where Agastya Rishi gifted Lord Rama with the miraculous arrow that was used to kill Ravana. The Rishi had meditated here for a year, surviving on water and air to be blessed with a stream of the Ganga, now known as River Pravara. The meandering Pravara feeds the serene Arthur Lake that glimmers at Bhandardara's core. The tranquil blue mirror, nestled amidst canopied forests of the Sahyadri hills, reflects the gorgeous image of Mount Kalsubai, the highest peak in Maharashtra. The Lake Authur is bridled by the Wilson Dam that is a powerful testimony to the engineering skills of days gone by. The dam stands 150 m high and is the largest earthen dam in India and one of the oldest in Asia built way back in 1910. The waters exiting the sluice gates of the dam cascades down 45 meters of a granite rocky gorge, forming the third largest falls in India named - The Randha Falls. Not far from Bhandardara one can drink in the solitary splendour of Konkan Kada - a cliff that overlooks the Konkan. Here an amphitheatre of twisted peaks, whittled by water and wind, saw-tooth the sky. The wind at Konkan Kada is so strong that water actually flies upwards when thrown. Bhandardara has a special rustic charm that makes it a refreshing getaway for both adventure seekers as well as the not-so-active tourists. Here you can relax in nature's cradle and gaze out dreamily over a placid lake encircled by hills from all sides or bathe under the numerous numerous waterfalls it is dotted with. You get a taste of rural Maharashtra with a good dose of nature in all its glory. Hence Bhandardara is the chosen destination for GayBombay's Glorious 10th Anniversary Picnic.

g_b (Revised Announcement) GB 10th Anniv. Picnic to Bhandardara on Sunday 05 October 2008
(THIS IS A PICNIC AND NOT A TREK, NO TRECHEROUS CLIMBING INVOLVED) Mumbai offers many an escape into little known hill stations, but perhaps none so unpretentious and charming as Bhandardara. Comfortably close to Mumbai, Bhandardara is blessed with three essentials - rejuvenating climate, luxuriant green vales and explicit serenity. The place shows with faultless precision the magnanimity of nature. Legend has it, that this is the land where Agastya Rishi gifted Lord Rama with the miraculous arrow that was used to kill Ravana. The Rishi had meditated here for a year, surviving on water and air to be blessed with a stream of the Ganga, now known as River Pravara. The meandering Pravara feeds the serene Arthur Lake that glimmers at Bhandardara's core. The tranquil blue mirror, nestled amidst canopied forests of the Sahyadri hills, reflects the gorgeous image of Mount Kalsubai, the highest peak in Maharashtra. The Lake Authur is bridled by the Wilson Dam that is a powerful testimony to the engineering skills of days gone by. The dam stands 150 m high and is the largest earthen dam in India and one of the oldest in Asia built way back in 1910. The waters exiting the sluice gates of the dam cascades down 45 meters of a granite rocky gorge, forming the third largest falls in India named - The Randha Falls. Not far from Bhandardara one can drink in the solitary splendour of Konkan Kada - a cliff that overlooks the Konkan. Here an amphitheatre of twisted peaks, whittled by water and wind, saw-tooth the sky. The wind at Konkan Kada is so strong that water actually flies upwards when thrown. Bhandardara has a special rustic charm that makes it a refreshing getaway for both adventure seekers as well as the not-so-active tourists. Here you can relax in nature's cradle and gaze out dreamily over a placid lake encircled by hills from all sides or bathe under the numerous numerous waterfalls it is dotted with. You get a taste of rural Maharashtra with a good dose of nature in all its glory. Hence Bhandardara is the chosen destination for GayBombay's Glorious 10th Anniversary Picnic. The picnic is open to the first 50 who register and pay. If you are living in Pune, Nasik, Thane, Raigad or any place as far as Chalisgaon on the Mumbai - Nagpur rail route can effortlessly join the picnic. Ask us how!!!
