I am not advertising or doing PR for any particular show or entity affiliated with Zee TV. I was simply asked to share my experiences in speaking with Samta Sagar ji and that is what I've done. I'm not ordering you or other forumers to watch SSBS, I am simply commenting that Samta ji is good on that show and if you admire her as an actress you will enjoy her on that show. I'm sure if one day Avinash and Rubina get work on other serials, members here will not hesitate to push those shows and tell all of us to watch them. What you choose to watch or not is none of my business. I am simply using this thread as a platform to again thank Samta ji for her courtesy and kindness. How is that any different from radev24, dg86, or anyone else who met Avinash and Rubina during their whirwind US and West Indies tour describing their interaction with them and appreciation of them?
Alas...I have no children in Columbia University School of Journalism. Both of my children are still in elementary school. But I sure would be a proud parent if either of them got accepted into Columbia. Waise tho I do have a sister-in-law in Columbia Teachers College. Chalo, koi tho mere parivaar se Columbia mein hai! 😆 Happy Navratri and Diwali to you both!
Hi Sandeepa, I appreciate your taking time out for an explanation. I read you response and let me respond to things that caught my attention.
If Mishti's thread did not play the yo-yo game for a few hours yesterday, I may never have caught Samta thread, as my foray into sticky world is like the spotting of the blue moon - ONCE IN A WHILE - when someone pms me a link. I really appreciate you, Eva, Anita and Anu communicating with her and sharing her experience with the forumers.
In the past Tila and others who have communicated with Avi or Rubina have written enthusiastically (you know how Tila is!) about it, but I don't recall the posts as stickies for several weeks.
In fact, Radev24 met with AviNa LAST weekend and her thread did not become a sticky until I posted in this thread this afternoon. Was it to counterbalance DT "priviledges" in making Samta's thread a sticky - applying a non-discrimination policy after the fact? I was watching very carefully since yesterday and it was quite an interesting revelation.
Can you tell me how that determination was made, so I know not to "fuss" in the future? Is there a guide, a rule book, you follow behind the scenes?
By the way, did I use the word "ordering" about you pushing SSBS in CB forum? I checked and NOPE! I did not, but reading this and the previous thread you have to consider the reader's viewpoint as well when writing. When all the pieces are put together, the final picture is all that matters and my picture came up with what I wrote about - that there is some connection between Samta in SSBS and the CBians being "told" to watch the show. I am sure you did not mean to but the message was pointing in that direction.
About Avi and Ruby working in other shows, I can tell you that personally I would not push any show because I follow the forum rules. If I have used another show, it was used in context of the quality or storyline but not as a "suggestion" to someone to watch the show.
You compared Radev24 and DG86's threads to yours. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE - neither of them were stickies - a sign of priviledge. It is all about appearances again. DG's is still in the main topic section the last time I saw. The Mauritius forumers' posts were in the main topic section as well. We all visited threads we were interested in and posted along the way. Additionally, DG86 and Radev24 are not promoting/mentioning another show when talking about AviNa's encounters.
I interpreted the rule that I posted in the original post to mean that we cannot discuss other shows in CB forum. I am sure if I were to do that with shows I occasionally watch, I would get a warning from the DTs. Since I am a rule-abiding forumer, I have stuck to my guns but I have seen plenty of posts closed in my short stay in this forum.
I am in a service providing business and I always lecture my workmates about perceptions, perceptions, perceptions!
So, it seems like you are the one taking classes at an NY University. Congratulations and I look forward to Samta's interview for your coursework (I am guessing!). Please PM me when you do. You are indeed a good writer and I wish you the best! Our family's kids are all educated in ivy-league schools and we are ever so proud of our kids as you should be of your SIL. Love Columbia's campus!
I wish you and your family a Happy Navratri and Diwali too!
