Vivek was eight. He realized he was gay. Only he didn't: he just figured that he wanted to be different. And that he was in love -- for want of a better word -- with Deepak, his best friend. Then Mast Kalandar released, with Anupam Kher playing Pinku, a stereotypical gay character. And Vivek realized he didn't want to be Pinku. So he tried to walk differently, gesticulate differently, and speak in as gruff a voice as he could -- all to avoid being Pinku.Funny, poignant, heartwarming and heart-breaking all at once, this is a memoir of growing up gay in India in the 1990s, with Bollywood, books, and the Bombay sea for company.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper India","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45086428725399,"sku":"9789353572693","price":195.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789353572693.webp?v=1769202245","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/so-now-you-know-a-memoir-of-growing-up-gay-in-india-9789353572693","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
