"Hi everyone!

I am an author working on a book exploring LGBTQ society and experiences across India and the United States.

I am looking to connect with real people who are willing to share their personal journeys — coming out stories, challenges faced, victories celebrated, family reactions, societal pressures and everything in between.

Both countries have very different cultural landscapes when it comes to LGBTQ acceptance and I want to represent both authentically and respectfully.

What I am looking for: ✅ Personal stories from India ✅ Personal stories from USA ✅ Challenges faced in both societies ✅ Positive experiences and progress ✅ Your hopes for the future

Everything shared will be handled with complete respect and sensitivity. Names can be changed for privacy.

If you are comfortable sharing your story — please comment below or DM me directly.

Thank you for trusting me with your experiences!" 🙏

Hi everyone,

I am 40 years old and going through a phase of life that I think many people can relate to — realising that most of the friendships I had built over the years have quietly faded away.

People get busy. Life pulls everyone in different directions. And somewhere along the way I found myself surrounded by fewer and fewer genuine connections.

I am not looking for sympathy — I just genuinely want to meet real people who value authentic friendships. People who show up. People who actually care.

A little about me: — I am based in Bangalore, India — I enjoy reading, writing and conversations that actually mean something — I believe in being real over being popular

If you are someone who also values genuine connection over surface level friendships — I would love to hear from you.

Sometimes you just need to start fresh."
