Hello everyone,
For most of you that don't know me, I've been a part of this forum since the day Kis Desh was aired. I don't say much, because I prefer to observe. But today I feel as though it's time to say something. I'm not sure how this is going to be viewed by those that read this, so I do apologize for offending anyone, albeit unintentionally.
I had joined I-F in 2006 and I was almost immediately surprised by how organized and professional the entire I-F site was. I drifted from show to show, forum to forum searching for a place to fit in. And it took me about three years to finally find my place. On March 3rd 2008, I entered a forum that has now become more of a second home to me.
Kis Desh has been the most unique forum I've ever been to, and I've been to quite a few forums. And it's been so because of its ability to come together in any situation. We held our breaths in the beginning of the serial when Premeer were about to meet. We waited in anticipation for Premeer to realize and confess their love. We rejoiced together on June 18th when Prem's passion erupted like a volcano. We sighed together when Prem cried for Lalit Juneja in the next episodes 😆. We celebrated together when Prem finally proposed. Most of all, we cried together when Prem "died". We cried together at Heer's heartbreak. But what surprised me the most was how we fought together against that injustice.
Kis Desh has always stood together, like a family. We've never just accepted whatever crap got dished out to us. We appreciated what was good in the show but we never faltered from criticizing what was bad. When Prem was "killed" for TRPS, we didn't take it lying down. It was absolutely amazing to see everyone at Kis Desh work together relentlessly, for MONTHS, to get Prem back. We were told it was next to impossible, that he wouldn't be back. Experience cautioned us that it was an Ekta show, where female leads are always more important than male leads. But we weren't ready to let this be any other Ekta show. We wanted it to be what it was, an eternal love story – of two people, both equally important. And after months of fighting we finally got what we wanted.
And the thought that we didn't give up, not once, even though it took us months, filled my heart with pride to be associated with Kis Desh. We were fighters and therefore were winners.
And I guess, today we face something similar, if not worst. And instead of being sad and disappointed, resigned to fate, I see us fighting and questioning – asking why and demanding answers. As soon as the forum found out about the time change people wanted to know why. We didn't just accept this "crap" being dished out to us. We wanted to know why and we weren't going to stop. Or maybe I should say, we aren't going to stop?
I am not sure how this will end. And I am not sure what will become of the show. But of this I am sure, we won't stop our fight till we get what we deserve, what the show deserves and what the cast deserves. And this isn't a proclamation – it is more of a factual statement. I know this is what will happen because this is what has happened before. And for that, I thank this entire Kis Desh forum.
I thank everyone who is working so hard to make sure we get what we deserve. I know we're being told, yet again, that it won't work. And I know we might have to work really hard for a comparatively long time. But I know we won't stop. And that fills me pride – to know that I am a part of something so different (hence the title).
I guess what I'm trying to say is Thank You everyone (our moderators and our active forum members) for making sure Kis Desh never falters at delivering the best and that it's never wronged for whatever reason.
Again, I really do apologize for anything inappropriate.
