My story of BFTP
I had been a silent reader since the last phase of the kidnapping track. Post remarriage, the forum was in utter chaos with quitting news, allegations, spoilers, bashing, etc. etc. All reaching a climax with the shutting down news on Monday. Though there were rumours again that it would be a tragic ending, by Tuesday it was confirmed that the ending would be a happy one. Though I was sad with the show ending, I was glad that the ending would be happy. And then came the banner on Tuesday night's episode. I don't remember being so angry ever. Why couldn't they let the show end peacefully, I felt.
Amidst the chaos and the confusion on the forum, I saw Doctor's post. A glimmer of hope. But would it last? I had my doubts. I was happy to see the response it got. Decided to follow it and I did. It started off very well. The first few episodes bringing in interesting takes. And then, the blast turned into a chat corner. It was on the verge of closing down. And then management changed hands, or should I say, the manager, Indi came into the picture. Things improved thereon and so did the discussions.
Reading the posts on blast became a daily routine. Got me hooked. Many a time felt like putting in my viewpoints too. But what the, I wasn't a member dammit. The idea of becoming a member in an open forum and talking to unknown people was awkward for me. But blast tempted me, lured me into the idea. And so, one day before the Valentine's Day I joined the forum. It was on BFTP #4.
When I joined, I didn't have the remotest idea that I would write something poetic. I just wanted to applaud the reviews and give my opinions once in a while. On Valentine's Day, out of the blue, I thought of writing a poem. It was so much appreciated and that put me on track. Here's the link to the poem
It has been quite a journey. Made so many friends here. Learnt to accept different viewpoints. Shared so many happy and sad moments. We prayed together, we wished together, we celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, festivals, etc. together. We visited Australia and Delhi with Indi, Thailand with Wiwy, went on a cruise with Cynthia, roamed around with Samin, went around the beaches with IssK and so many more. All this, while we continued pursuing IPK with all our heart.
I have learnt a lot from each of the blasters. Indi, Cynthia, Ami, Arshi, Wiwy, Horizon, Chalhov, Kate, Supriya, Samin, Sohara, Anita, Saloni, AD, etc. Thank you all so much for making me part of your lives. All of you, in your own way, have helped me discover myself and be the person I am atleast for some time during the day.
Happy BFTP Anniversary to one and all. đ

Thnx for your lovely story as we all started at some point.I knowThe show ended with devastation and Forum at the verge of closing because of so many clashes.
I am glad some one is in my boat as I saw the same , chatting over chatting but nothing about epis and got bored out of it.
Durga I think Indi is a true captain of this ship , no doubt but You are behind the curtain as well as Kat.Really backbone. But at the top you gear ppl around and stir them to do stuff and if anyone stays back , your little note make everyone run to do it đ
Love to read your poetry and the connection you make with it.đ
Thnx for the translation đ
