Here comes the sun…

Well the post has nothing do with the title. Just felt like squeezing in a Beatles’ number into one of my posts. The sun part however came because of the fact that I went to a restaurant on Saturday evening. Or was it Friday. But we shouldn’t really entrap ourselves in timelines so much. What is more important is the revelation that I had. Bangalore has a place for gays…erm or should I say the homosexually inclined…to hang out.
According to Pehelwan, who heard from a very reliable source, the place is run by and, as we realized slowly as the evening progressed, for gays. Should have guessed the moment I saw the bottle of Evian on each table. Every couple that walked in was horribly lop-sided as regards sex. Most of them were firangs. I kept eyeing the place in total enchantment after I was given to understand this little piece of information. It was very tastefully decorated. What’s more…they even had really nice music playing. I don’t wanna sound like a discriminating asshole, but gays clearly have the best taste in absolutely anything.
I kept waiting for the waiters to break into an impromptu "YMCA" performance but was left dissatisfied on that front. Had some red wine which made the evening a bit more fun than the usual teetotaller nights we have. Also it made the food, which wasn’t anything great…yes even the apple pie, easy to gulp.
All in all a fun evening. If you aren’t too hungry and are in the mood for some expensive fun…do try this place for sure. I hear their Philadelphia (another gay connection) Cheese Cake is the real thing.
What is the name of the restaurant?
I’m gay and coming to Bangalore on business for the first couple of weeks in May and I’m kinda nervous about it.
Are there many gay people in Banglore? How do they meet each other (besides the sad online ads for clandestined sex)?
Isn’t there a hotel pub or something where gay people tend to gather? Help!

The place is called Sunny’s…it’s on Vittal Mallya Road…ask anyone and they’ll lead you there…best landmark near the place is a Shell gas station which is visible from pretty far…hope you find things that interest you in Bangalore.

Philadelphia connection…lol !
Funnily enough, yesterday I happened to be in downtown Philly. And what do I find going on there ? An Annual Gay and Lesbian Mela of sorts. They had occupied 4 blocks atleast. Really colorful and festive. The men had great dress sense. The women were mostly punk. And everyone looked very happy with themselves so I guess all is right with the world.

BTW, I think it is Philadelphia Cheese Steak and not Cheese Cake.
