Suri: My dad was much later. He had already met my partner of many years. I’d been writing letters that were more and more revealing, I thought, about our relationship. And in 2002, he asked me a question which just left me dumbfounded. He asked me if I wanted to marry this 20-year-old daughter of his friend. And I said, my God, how can you ask me that. First of all, she’s so young. I’m about twice her age. And secondly, don’t you know that I’ve been in a gay relationship for all these years. And he said no, I don’t. I mean, he said no. Then he kept looking at me and the look on his face suggested that he was still waiting to hear about the marriage proposition, was I interested or not, which I hadn’t technically answered. He was just as loving as before, he asked about my partner each time I called him, and I was always looking forward to talking to him at length about it on my next visit to India. But unfortunately, he passed away maybe three months after that.

Very bad and selfish.
Manil Suri's  father did not think twice about what he was doing. He was willing to destroy the life of a 20 year old girl so he could somehow "cure" his 40 year old son from the disease of gayness.

 Maybe he was not evil but naive in thinking that a young girl could cure his son of his perverted ways. Which father will just give up on a son?

I should think so, too..his father must have been a believer of 'marriage cures the young and restless people's 'bad habits'

- i just can't help writing about one of K'dhi's wedding(2006 or so) to a <20 year old brahmin girl who according to astrology had great 'thAli bAkyam/sumangali bAkyam' - well.. it's been 7 years and he is still going  and going and going... ain't he? so it must be true, eh?:P
