I like global initiatives. Because its global, it is talked about everywhere at the same time. I like that the pride month is being celebrated across the world. The month of June was chosen to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969.

I see it as celebrating love between people. And if that happens across the globe then, hey! Isn’t that great?

Where I come from, I don’t think there are many people who understand pride month. But that’s okay. What is important is that we understand that people are coming together to celebrate love. And the feeling itself is great! 

I am sorry that it took so much time for humanity to come to this level where we lift people and also support in having pride events across the world. People in this world must know that it’s the decision of two individuals to love the way they want to love. 

I love to see posts of lovers celebrating and coming out in open about their choices. Life is all about choices and if you do not choose what your heart wants then you are belittling life. And that’s certainly not a happy way to live this beauty called ‘life’. One thing that we are all given in common is life. And what we make of it is based on our choices. So if you choose this, then fantastic. The heart knows what it wants, the mind may intervene but close your eyes and ask yourself, what gives joy? And there you are, with what your heart wants.

I want to congratulate and give a big hug to everyone who have come open during this time to make this month a meaningful one. And even a bigger applause to everyone who made the choice to stand in support, like me!

If you are yet to confide and come in terms, I wish you all the luck and love. Choose what the heart wants. There is no right or wrong. There is right in the wrong and a way to do everything else. 

Here is a short story about a person named Swami who survived because of another person named Nathan.

Swami was hospitalised after an accident and was in need of blood. He had lost a lot of blood and it wasn’t very easy to find his rare blood group type. Swami was a conservative person living a narrow life. When he opened his eyes, after a few days of being in hospital, he read about pride month on his phone. His first reaction was, what has the world come down to? Days after when he was declared fit to get a discharge from the hospital, he asked the nurse, may I know which one of my friends donated blood for me? The nurse said I cannot say that but we have had a lot of donor’s this month who were celebrating the pride month by donating blood to save someone’s life. 

Who knows that someone’s celebration can be life saving for someone. Be kind. Be open. And be accepting. Because, if not, then its clearly you at the loosing end.
