I am very very grateful for the life I lead.

From mid-March to mid April, I had the privilege of leading a yoga teacher-training in South India.

Travelling is always something that brightens my world and allows me to open up and remember that the human experience is not characterized by only my life.

India is a vast land with a rich and vibrant culture which always holds many lessons that help me lead a healthier life.

Odd and ironic how a developing nation that struggles with pollution, garbage, and poverty, is such a platform for many interesting contemplations.

BANGALORE, India -- Lives of sexual minorities aren’t any better than they were when rights movements began in the city.

While a few communities like hijras and kothis have managed to get visibility and some form of acceptance, female-to-male transgenders are yet to get there, members of the community said. They recently launched a year-long project under the name Samara Lesbian, Bisexual Women and female-to-male Transgenders.

NEW DELHI, India – The controversial and homophobic remarks by India’s health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has drawn widespread criticism by LGBT civil rights supporters.

Azad was speaking at a meeting of elected officials from around India on the need for open talk about sexual issues when he strayed into considerable controversy in comments on sex workers and men who have sex with men (MSM).

He stressed the urgency for preventative efforts for MSM, but didn’t stop there.
