Meet Shiva! Born in the Western Suburbs of Sydney, where he has lived for most of his life, shiva is currently a Phd candidate at The University of Sydney. He has a helicopter mother, who wishes she could have microchipped him and he is super close to his sister (pictured).

Shiva talks about his journey of sweeping through contemporary ‘gayness’ and looking for the gold nugget at the end. He asks, what does it mean to be a gay man living his life 'meaningfully'? As is often the case, answers are much closer to home then they may seem at the time.
