DEAR EDITOR

Recently my boy friend and I had the most horrific experience at my party, which I had organized only for my close and special friends at a Farm House on the 12th of July. We invited only those whom we wanted to share the evening with and arranged and budgeted accordingly.

But to our absolute shock, we discovered hoards of uninvited "self-imposed" guests walking in as soon as the party started. Some of these even masqueraded as being invitees of our genuine guests while others shamelessly strolled in at their leisure.

As if the shock of seeing so many uninvited "friends" was not enough, we were horrified to see these "guests" gulping down beverages and food meant for our genuine guests. No wonder our guests were left with empty glasses while the uninvited guests had their full !!

Also strangely, when a volunteer group organised a pay party for much needed funds for the HIV & AIDS awareness, all of these "socialites" were conspicuous by their absence.

I strongly feel that those of you who came to our party uninvited, should refrain from doing so ever again. It is high time to realize the significance of this letter. Why should I pay for your free loading ???However I have no complaints from those for whom prior permissions were taken. Gate crashers, will you please take note of it !! -A-TWO, Vasant Kunj

Congratulations on launching of first issue of Darpan, it seems that for the first time, there is a serious attempt from the capital gays. The contents were quite interesting specially it was nice to learn about what our city folks were doing 200 years back in the history. The author has done quite intensive research to re-enact an era which is past but not forgotten. Apart from it me and my friends strongly felt- that something was missing in this issue. Well if you ask me WHAT - then very frankly I don't have any answer. It is rather difficult to pinpoint. But we request you to look into it. Maybe something more can be added to Darpan to make it more complete in itself. --Nafrat Fata Wali Khan- Green Park

Kudos your cover story "Ladke Dilli shahr ke...", it fits into the structure of the maiden venture of Darpan. I suggest if you can request the author to continue this history as a sequel, as this historical angle reinforces the community pride. My other friends from Bombay & Banglore too join me in acknowledging your endeavors. Keep it up !! -P.S. Vasant Kunj

Congratulations!! It was great to finally see something happening in Delhi. The city desperately needed to express itself in her own voice- it was like a old dream coming true- as for long time we were contemplating to create something like this. Make sure you double the contents from the next issue & reach the likes of TRIKONE in a year. All the best. -S.K. Khel Gaon
