Coming Out: Overhyped ya Life-Changing?

As a fairly out queer person (believe it or not, some extended family members are still living under a rock. Imagine being on an outdoor hoarding and still having to clarify your sexuality!), I sometimes wonder what life would have been like if I had not come out of the closet.

As a 35-year-old gay man, navigating adulthood is a complicated affair already. Imagine topping it up with the complexity of (constantly) hiding your core. It’s like paying for extra luggage on a flight, knowing that the weight is utterly useless, or carrying winter clothes on a trip to Rajasthan in peak summers.

I’m sure for the majority of people, there would be more reasons than I can think of to stay in the closet. But still, somehow, whenever anyone reaches out to me with a dilemma of whether they should come out or not, my advice is consistent: do it, if you feel safe and empowered to do so.

That way, there will be more ‘have beens’ than ‘could haves’ in your life story. I would always prefer it that way. What about you?

Growing up, I was always told we had Chattis crore devi devta in Hinduism. Each stood for something, each had a story.

But when I was coming to terms with my sexuality, there was a time I felt like I had no god. Somewhere, I’d started believing that this part of me was unnatural. But why would God make me something unnatural?

Then I learnt about Shiva’s Ardhanarishvara form and felt a relief. Here was a god who had the masculine and feminine within him. For the first time, I felt there was room for someone like me too.

There was so much more to Shiv than the fierce, masculine destroyer I’d grown up hearing about.

Funny how we’ve made masculinity so fragile when the god we worship has room for so much more.

These pictures are from my first visit to Isha Foundation. That’s Shiva as Adiyogi behind me. There’s something about his stillness that I’m beginning to connect with. taken in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu by @yogionlove

The day I took these photos, I had possibly the worst panic attack of my life. But is there anything that neela aasmaan, haseen wadiyan and green grass cannot fix?

Please consult a medical practitioner for all the nuances related to such things. I did the same, and then let nature do its thing.

Thank you, nature! 🌱 taken in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu by @yogionlove
