I wonder why we hold contests here at all. Just for the organizers to get enthusiastic at the start and plan and open threads.
Then everything to be deflated by a group of people complaining about the contests, opening protest threads, some of them using very hurting words and then not sending any entries. 😡
Finally there'll be some 2-3 entries and our esteemed busy VIPs won't have time to rate them.
If everyone is so busy, why these contests at all? Let's just forget it. 😡 😡
Someone please make an 'I am a VIP' siggie for every forum member who didn't participate in anything. Sorry...but I am really upset with some people.
Please don't bother about Daya sir's bday contests. I am telling in advance that I won't participate. There's no point.


when We Normally participated (specially ME)...
so many people have No time to rate/comment even Vote...
Obviously it feels Hurt but I think I never said any Bad thing about those who mostly never Rated, Commented or Voted...
Even did not Participated...
so why this...
kya jis nay part nahi liya, wo Itna Bura hay...
jub Un kay liyey kabhi VIP Siggies Nahi banwaii gayii...
tou why this time...❓

I don't know. I'm just really shocked at everything.
Thank God my laptop stop working and I couldn't take part because seeing the number of entries...I'd rather sit there and not even bother about being voted. It's more fun being voted out of like 10-18 entries than 2.

Just took part in one contest and beyond shocked at seeing the number of entries. 😲

But oh well I appreciate the host's efforts and other participants so I'll just learn to sit back and enjoy whatever comes my way. Time to get used to it.

But thanks to the hosts for whatever they did for us. :) <3 Now I'll await the results for the contest I took part in and be happy! 😊

But seriously. I promised to send in entries for quite a few contests but due to circumstances all the entries I prepared couldn't be sent as my laptop crashed. But still I sent in at least one entry to keep up to my promise of PARTICIPATING even if it's one crappy entry. Rushed one.

Now I feel it's better to send in some rushed crappy entry of mine than nothing because the entry numbers are like super boring now. Every contest thread I opened had very LOW entries. I got bored. What do I rate?! Who do I make the winner and loser with my vote for myself in my eyes?!

Like 2 entries! Seriously?!!!!!!!! It's sad. It's a competition between two people.

Why not just ask at the start who's participating like this:

Person x
Person y

The contest is between person x and person y! They send in entries and we all await for their entries. Vote. One winner. No shock. Rather than this:

Expect 10-20 entries.

Receive only 2.

Shocked. One winner. Dissapointed because the other person is the only one who feels bad. And that's just sad. They feel like a complete loser. Why a contest between two people huh?

That's just sad. One will win and one will not win officially making them a losing participant. Then they get a participant siggy. Other one gets a winning one. They look on. Because they have nobody on the same BOAT as them.

Nobody to say that you're in the same boat as me. :(

I'm not saying this because I took part but because of what I actually feel!!!!!! This time the contests for combined birthdays is beyond questions. Like seriously?! 😕

Out of God knows how many people...10...20...even 30 I can say! We only get 2 DAMN PARTICIPANTS?!!

Sorry but I'm not just saying one contest but quite a few.

And look. Look at the replies and how many people are actually rating! Voting!

Seriously I don't know what happened this time. Despite the encouragement. Etc. We get 2 entries.

Where's the enthusiasm? Excitement? I can't see it?! Huh! Get my binoculars out!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a face off between two people more than a contest!!!!

A contest is where you have fun with quite a few people not where you are in a face off about winning with another person.

Guys one entry would have taken like 20-30 minutes. I'm sure we can spare that! It was like 2am in the morning and I had coursework to do. In my to do list I wrote. Send in entries. Then when I couldn't send in all the entries. I edited my draft and sent in it. No matter how crap. But I did. Because I genuinely wanted something. Some excitement. Some enthusiasm. About the other participants with me and the entries! And the votes!

What do I get?! One entry!!!!!! Like really?!

Now let's sit back and watch what happens!!!! That's it. I'll see. Damn my heart goes out to the person whose opposite me and all those people in the same position as me.

And you know what. Gadhadada has ended up like this a lot. So hats off to her. Today I ACTUALLY realised how it feels. Plus she's been in a situation where nobody was opposite her which is just heartbreaking to hear.

I'm not angry I'm just shocked. Surprised. So these words to express my thoughts. I don't want to argue or fight but give my view in the open forum. Sorry if I hurt you.

Sorry. :) god bless. Good luck guys! Yeah good luck!! Whoever is in the same boat as me in the OVERALL contests! Can't say one. This time. :(

Lord! :)

And I'm not bragging or moaning. Saying the truth. I study. I'm in 10th grade. I'm working day and night to finish my courework get a grade a*. Best marks.
All of us are busy in lifestyle. Work job education.

Then why not a 20 minutes spare time?! For the forum you come to!!!!! Have fun!!!!! Why not increase the fun for others? Participants? Yourself?! Try something new huh?!

I took a break from work and sat down to say no PP you have to send in something at least.

You know how harder the years get in school. But still guys. Come on. Everyone does something but we can't forget our hobbies, fun?!

If we can sit here to protest then why not use that much time to send something in?!

And I agree with you Visrom!

I've actually realised and seen this time how one entry can make a difference. Atleast one.


I'm inactive mostly on weekdays but still I do my best to catch up with you lot. Send entry. Post.

Make ATs run 😛 Yaar phir 20 minute entry Nahi send kar Sakte aap log? Phir inn hosts ka kya faida?

These hosts are for YOU! Waiting for YOU! For all these days for an entry! And they get what? 2 entries in like a month.

Okay understand you are busy. Then please let's see how many wishes we get! Let's see! :) and how many votes we get! :)

And that's understandable if your mood was ruined due to the happenings on the forum.

But yaar. Do logo ne bhi toh send kiya hai na har contest me.

They have feelings too and I'm sure love the forum as much as you do. But guys. Come on. Next time let's be a bit more enthusiastic yeah?


WOOHOOO! Now stop sobbing and SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANSHA AND ADITYA!!!!!!!! 😃 Can't do anything about the negatives but can make them postitive ahead. So cheer on!!!! :)

GD if someone cant participate due to personal issues or he/she is busy in personal life, we can consider that but we cant consider some fans boycott contests just becoz its combined contest...we know few fans boycott contests ...here we (me,vis & Sri - who posted something regarding this) are pointing those non-participants rather other non-participants! It cant be accepted at all. I already told you in PMs that I never accept these reasons of non-participation neither from Adi sir's fans nor from Ansha Sayad fans.

Participation continuously decreases & we made this combined contest to increase no of participants but the result becomes worse...thats why we think that its better to stop contests becoz all the time few are really busy & few quit / boycott showing various reasons as a result no of participants are 2-3 maximum...no meaning of this kind of contests !

I have very less time & I wanted to participate in story contest & could not manage due to lack of time & before making vms I knew that only one person sent vms still at last moment I made a vm for contest just to participate becoz its related to Aditya sir !!

well its being talked about me so will surely like to say
i couldn't send in anything after the matter got sorted due to my bad net connections(which is due to heavy rainfall) and my other responsibilities to other forums here
m not too much active on cid forum either if u can see, i just post reviews for episode and rate the episodes
if i had participated , it would have been essay contest only, and it takes me a lot of time to pen down my feelings and didn't got that proper time actually...
m not at any AT or anything else
those wanna believe can do otherwise m happy with the VIP tag 😊

Roopal...I didn't mean just you. Yes...after the extra topics were added after you objected to the existing ones. we all expected at least you to send in an entry. But your not sending was seen as a sign of protest until now. But if you had net problems it's ok. Forget it. 😊

I actually have complaints about some others...I am still upset with them for some of their words. WAS contest was a simple one...and some people are capable of writing hilarious stuff...but only 2 entries. Why so less? I am openly telling you all...one of them is mine. I don't care about any anonymity now. I actually withdrew my entry. I don't know why Apoorva has posted it at all. 😔
Very disappointing.

I'm sure it's me being referred to here. I'm sorry for what happened and I've already admitted I shouldn't have been that extreme. I don't want to make excuses for myself, but due to my final exam being postponed I have already been facing a lot of pressure both at home and college, and still had been trying my best to work on my entries every night. Then seeing certain posts on that thread was not only very, very hurtful but really demoralizing. You know I am the last person to have any wish to involve in arguments, yet there are limits. Like they say... we're not punished for our anger but by it. I'm again sorry to whoever I hurt.

Regarding the contests, I had planned to participate in the story, VM, WAS, poetry and essay contests once my exam in late June got over, but after it got delayed until later this month, I could not afford so much time anymore. I had done about 25% of my VM but facing technical issues with the PC, I could not complete it on time. I have to be in the library or class every day until around 9:00 PM and can only work on contests after that. I gave all my time to the story, finished it at the eleventh hour yesterday and then did a couple of essay entries. I had about 10 minutes left before leaving home after that, and I couldn't get the WAS and poem done in that time.

I don't consider myself anything close to a VIP, but if you're angry with me then I more than deserve it. I'm sorry. Despite everything, for now I hope we still successfully express our love and gratitude for both our actors this time, as every entry is important.

To all non-participants in general, I'd like to say something. Alright, you 'didn't have' time to participate. I sent in my entry a day before the close and honestly speaking I had 2 exams the very next day. The next morning I sent another 2 entries for another contest. Well, I'm not boasting but this kind of non-participation is hurting. Like many others, I can name some awesome writers too. Seriously! Just 2 entries in WAS, poetry and essay! Poetry contest, woh bhi for Adi sir's birthday has minimum 7 entries from what I know of every year! The reasons which some of you might say are surely dumb enough. (Ravi bro, I'm not telling you.)
Ok leave that alone, with the number of members here in the CID forum we can have a jolly great number of rating and reviewing. But everyone seems to be busy. At least if you don't want to rate, please review them to appreciate the participants who took out time to send in something. We participants expect at least reviews from you. Such kind of silence or ignorance is demoralizing seriously.

I'm sorry if my above words were an offense to anyone. I was speaking in general. Please do review every single contest entry out there, it will sooth us.

It's OK Ravi...gusse mein ho jaata hai. Forget it.
I am also sorry for making that VIP comment. It's just something which was bothering me for a very long time. It's nothing to do with anyone on this thread. Trust me.
