1st night out in Sydney
Today was my 1st night out in Sydney. I have been to the city a few times but mostly I have been home at a decent hour before sunset. I reader of the blog GK and I had planned to meet in the city today in the evening. I being the paranoid person I am left home much too early and hence reached the city about an hour and a half before the decided time. But I am glad that I left early because it gave me sometime just to sit at Circular Quay and observe the world go by. Before this whenever I had been there it was with someone so I had never had a chance to 'feel' the spirit of the place but today I was alone and had lots of time on my hand so I did just that.
Later I met GK and we spend the rest of the evening together. I was surprised at the comfort level we shared and there was a lot to talk about and share. The weather was really nice too (I love the rain) so I enjoyed walking in the rain and seeing Darling Harbour on a rainy night. There was a visit to Hyde Park followed by some coffee and great food at a very interesting place called Chinta Rai. To wrap the perfect evening we ended on a sweet note at the Lindt Cafe.
I had already written about this yesterday but I am beginning to feel really blessed with meeting some really interesting people in Sydney. GK and I had so much to share and there was so much we could relate with reference to the life of a gay guy in India. Though he comes from a much larger city - Mumbai but parents and family are the same all over with the same set of expectations and baggage that comes along with it. And then there was the discussion about relationships past and present and we found that there were a lot of similarities in our experiences and thoughts about a lot of stuff. It does seem like the start of a beautiful friendship. The best part is that he gets my sick sense of humour and laughs at my lame jokes too. Thanks GK!!
