By now everyone will have told you about the star-studded line up at the seventh Kashish International Queer film fest on Wednesday night. How Sonam Kapoor blew kisses at the adoring crowd, how Kunal Kapoor said he'd never been to a film festival as wonderful, and how Sir Ian McKellen dramatically shrugged off his blazer, his scarf and stuck his chest out so that the words on his flaming red Tee could be read. 'Some People Are Gay - Get Over It' it said.

What none can tell you about is the feeling in the air. McKellen getting mobbed blowing out the candles of his cake like a delighted child to a lusty rendition of 'Happy Birthday to youuuu;' of the love and bonhomie in the air.
