It has been over a year since I clicked my way in to IF. It was one of the hottest nights of March 2005. To be precise, it was March 9, 2005. I had never watched TV serials, I had never spent much time on net. I never made online friendships but on that humid night, I decided to become Bluelotus and a member of the IF family, small but slowly growing. I was a silent spectator and reader for sometime before that, but never thought to become a member till then. And that moment has become one of the most interesting one in my life.
Looking back now, I can only say that I am too lucky to have made that decision on that moment. I have made wonderful friends at IF, laughed like an idiot, cried over so many heart breaks, got terribly upset over silly things, enjoyed many many things, endured disappointments and learned so many new things and now I can't imagine not logging on to IF at least once in a week. I know that my friends here will search for me if I am not present for too long.
And it was the handsome face of Arman, and the beauty of that valentine episode that made me search for JJKN on the web. And then I found IF. And it was here that Queenbee welcomed me to the forum, It was here that Jprasad laughed her way in to my heart, It was here that Shraddha PMed me in to a deep friendship, It was here that Minnie debated intelligently, It was here that Rumi with her poetic heart updated Arman's love story, It was here that Tablet shocked even our existence sometimes with terrific information,And Shiverz sent me the photograph of Bluelotus she herself took on a vacation which even now appears as my avtar. It was here that I lived the romance through the words of Enigma, Devil, Alien and many other talents.
We loved and lost devil and Maheen here, We missed Queenbee, Alien and many others here, we gained so many new friends here. There was a time when most of the time I was on line a day than off line. I was eager to reach home in the evening , I related everything in my life to IF and JJKN, there was a time when my vision was blinded by Arman Jassi love and then I became disillusioned. I got over the infatuation with IF after a few months. But my love for IF and my friends here is still evergreen.
Over the year, life definitely has changed. So has IF and its atmosphere. But I am glad to say that the influence IF had on me was definitely positive, creative and quite refreshing.
I take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you IF members for the effort you all take to make this place a home away from home. And you have all become an integral part of my life. I love you all for making me laugh, cry , learn and experience the emotional and intelluctual rollercoaster called IF.
Thank you.
