Hello everyone!
Like Nirvy said, it's nice to see all the old devils that I have only seen while stalking old dens. You guys are like unicorns, mythical and ancient creatures that I didn't think I would ever see in real life. 😲🤣
Sorry I am late, I guess you can interpret it as being symbolic of my lateness in joining the den. But you will never believe what happened! Actually you will because it is the story of our lives. I started watching Geet in Jan so all the episodes before that I saw on my computer. Because post-marriage was such a roller-coaster and nothing compared to the pre-marriage show, my mother who had sometimes watched with me just didn't get my obsession. So I showed her Kehna hi Kya and then I showed her the dressing room scene to show her GC's facial transitions. Would you believe it, she didn't let me stop until we had reached the outhouse! Hence my lateness.
Now on to why the den is wondrous... I started posting on the forum in June and was having quite a good time of it. I usually posted long analyses about characters and the story and where it was going, especially during the BR track and the brief period when ML was really good (ie Teej). Then it went on to the circus filler and then it went on to the circus marriage track and I felt lost. There was nothing to say about the show so I couldn't make any posts and didn't feel like commenting on anybody else's. I would refresh the Geet page every five minutes, not knowing what I was even looking for. It was then that I started stalking the den, because this was literally THE ONLY place on the forum where any discussion was still going on. But I was too intimidated to jump in for a while because you were all so in sync and I was scared and shy. 😳
Then one day, I was doing my usual stalking and Z and Lily were discussing MSK's assets. I noticed that the most important, the sole reason my finger had paused on the remote to catch a glimpse of Geet and change my life, had been missed...the jawline. So once again, the jawline helped me find an awesome new obsession...the den! Even in the darkest of episodes (full of Nano's love life) it was fun to come here and mock the rest or complain about them while rejoicing over the largely unspoiled charm of Maaneet in one frame!
I can't tell you how honoured I felt (seriously it's up there with my college graduation 😆) when Jyo PMed me and asked me to volunteer to open a den. I have made some wonderful friends here, had some great discussions and some great arguments (oh how I loved that you could say negative things in here and not be attacked by a horde of Pollyannas!). To this day I have never faced a problem expressing an opinion that did not correspond with the majority and that is my favourite part of being in the den!
Thanks all of you who made this place so much fun! We will of course keep talking here, because as you can see from the length of this post, I never run out of words! 😃
