Today I did an interesting interview with the guy who's in charge of selling Mills Boon in India. In the past the company never had a direct presence in the country, all the titles were sold by various local distributors. But now, presumably to help keep India Rising, they've decided to enter the market and distribute themselves. One thing he said interested me in particular - he said that this seems to be the one market in the world where there is a significant male readership of MB. Elsewhere there probably are a fair number of men who read romance fiction, but they don't want to admit it and the numbers probably aren't large. But here, to MB's slight surprise, the numbers seem to be significant and men don't mind admitting they're read MB titles, and not always just their sisters, but some guys even buy them themselves. MB's focus is firmly female, so this is one segment of the market they are not going to address, but it makes one wonder? Were these just bored guys looking for anything steamy or even vaguely sexual? Were some of them secretly attracted to the rugged heroes? Did they get turned on by the shirtless hunks on the cover? Did some even secretly want to be the heroines crushed in the hunks arms? So come on, admit it. I'm sure all those male readers weren't gay, but some of them must have been and some must be on this list. Did you read MB? Did you buy them or steal them from sisters? Did you get off on the covers? And did you want to be a heroine? Passsionately awaiting responses, Vikram
g_b Tell them the Truth
A woman and her son were taking a cab in New York City. It was raining and all the hookers were standing under the awnings. Mom, said the little boy, what are all those women doing? They're waiting for their husbands to get off work, she replied. The cabbie turns around and says, Geez lady, why don't you tell him the truth? They're hookers, boy! They have sex with men for money. The little boy's eyes get wide and he says, Is that true, mom? His mother, glaring hard at the cabbie, answers in the affirmative. After a few minutes, the kid asks, Mom, what happens to the babies those women have? Most of them become cab drivers, she said. - Now you can chat without downloading messenger.

g_b Be Thankful
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character. Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference. It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings. ~~Author Unknown.~~ http://www.symphonyoflove.net/blog/?p=98 http://www.symphonyoflove.net/blog/?p=98

g_b [EMAIL PROTECTED] and LABIA Present Two Films Exploring Identity through Queerness, Nov 26
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and LABIA present 2 documentaries exploring identity through queerness Zero Degrees of Separation Elle Flanders 2005 87' Zero Degrees of Separation looks at the Middle East conflict and the Palestinian Occupation, through the eyes of mixed Palestinian and Israeli gay and lesbian couples. Ezra is against the Occupation, yet he's an Israeli. His partner, Selim, is a Palestinian whose protests against the Occupation landed him in jail at age 15. Ezra is a simple plumber whose courage and cheek take on prophetlike proportions as he travels across the country risking his life to protest the walls, fences and military checkpoints that divide them. Interwoven with their stories is footage of Elle Flanders' grandparents, who were intimately involved in the founding of the state of Israel. Through these home movies, Flanders artfully retraces her grandparents' travels as they tour a fledgling nation brimming with pioneering joyous youth, immigrants, refugees and endless open vistas of the Holy Land, contrasting the ideals at the birth of the holy land with the reality of today's Israel, a country mired in the rubble of Occupation. Followed by: Treyf Alisa Lebow and Cynthia Madansky 1998 55' TREYF unkosher in Yiddish is an unorthodox documentary by and about two Jewish lesbians who met and fell in love at a Passover seder. With personal narration, real and imagined educational films, and haunting imagery, filmmakers Alisa Lebow and Cynthia Madansky examine the Jewish identity of their upbringings and its impact on their lives. Incisive cultural critics, astute, poignant, and poetic never cynical they weave their way from New York to Jerusalem in pursuit of a progressive, secular Jewish identity that draws from their childhood reminiscences as much as from their contemporary queer lives. A personal journey from kibbutz summers to coming out, from keeping kosher to Bat Mitzvahs, TREYF is iconoclastic and intelligent, humorous and poignant. A reflection on culture, community, and individual desire, this witty film follows the filmmakers as they discover what they thought was most profoundly treyf about their worldviews still has roots in Jewish history. When ? Monday 26th November 2007 at 7 pm Where ? Prithvi House, Opp Prithvi Theatre, 20 Janki Kutir, Juhu Church Road, Mumbai 400 049 [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a monthly series of documentaries and shorts brought to you by Vikalp: Films for Freedom in collaboration with Prithvi Theatre. About Vikalp: Films for Freedom The History: In recent years we have seen riotous mobs burn books, destroy paintings, attack artists, tear down cinemas, rip apart ancient manuscripts and make a mockery of all our constitutional safeguards. The state itself has institutionalized censorship through its Central Board of Film Certification and its counterpart in the world of theatre. Documentary filmmakers have specially borne the brunt of censorship. As the Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF) 2004 approached, the then government knew that many films on the Gujarat carnage exposing the ruling party's complicity could embarrass it on an international stage. Overnight a new clause was introduced stating that while foreign films remained exempt, all Indian films would require a censor certificate. Even as over 275 filmmakers united and threatened to boycott MIFF, official censorship was withdrawn, but a dubious backdoor selection procedure excluded some of the best new Indian films dealing with subjects like communalism, caste, gender, sexuality and the environment. The best way to fight back was to screen the 'rejected' films. So VIKALP : Films for Freedom was born. Many filmmakers whose films were selected for MIFF withdrew their work to screen them at VIKALP. Girish Karnad stepped down from the MIFF jury. Filmmakers pooled in their resources and found a perfect venue right across from MIFF at Bhupesh Gupta Bhawan, whose solidarity was unconditional and whose hall came free. Acoustic problems were overcome by curtains and mattresses. Volunteers poured in and the buzz was electric. Despite word of mouth publicity we had packed houses every day. VIKALP opened with an excerpt from Sadaat Hasan Manto's ' Safed Jhoot', an indictment of censorship and hypocrisy, performed by Jamil Khan, directed by Naseeruddin Shah. From this high, we never came down. For 6 days rapt audiences saw and debated over 50 films and participated in panel discussions on censorship. Across the street every official MIFF bulletin and meeting denounced VIKALP and swore innocence to the charge of censorship. But we were getting across. From juries to filmmakers and audience members, the ranks of the disbelievers kept growing - as they must. For an assault on freedom of expression does not affect filmmakers alone. It is an assault on democracy itself. The Present:
