Is the forum addiction doing something bad to us?

May be not..

We have almost completed 2 months since the closure of the show. Now what next?

This question 'What Next?' is sounding like something similar to the speeches we hear in the graduation ceremonies. After the college what next? types... I think we are in the similar situation...

About me,

I have started watching the show and later joined IF... Since then, show has become a facilitator to express and experiment something... Show has suffered many ups and downs... Had I not joined the forum, I would have left watching the show as I was always an online-and-AtYourLeisure kind of viewer...and many times, the show was not worth wasting time.

But, the forum time was something different...

As the famous Brazilian lyricist Paulo Coelho puts it... "If we are wasting our time and enjoying ourselves, then we are not wasting the time"

I found most of us like me in the forum. Found their inner capabilities. Forum is a virtual world and that has become a means to open up very easily. First I thought, this is the virtual world games that we play.
But no... here we are interacting with others in flesh and blood!!

Some of us found the ability to entertain a large public devising simple games... any time one can join.. and anytime one may leave.
A very good trait to gather masses.. cultivate lil more, and can become a good organisers of public gatherings...

Earlier very shy to talk and were not even formulating their own opinion ... these people have shed the shyness and become bold after a while and noticed that they have got very good ideas and has the capability express them independently. We have seen many good topics on the forum... Sure, these are the first steps to succeed in the life has started in the forum... One could become a regular political/ sports /movies.. whichever field you like..and get paid too...

Writing long stories... Except for few repetitive ones, many are fresh and new ideas... Personally, I like Alkaji's fresh ideas with every new OS...
A special mention to all the poets... People do like to read to us.. This is such a moral boosting idea...Here is the first step... If one is interested and ability to grow, there are plenty of online publishing ways... You could make a epub editions and put it in the stores on iTunes.

VMs... What to say about them... summation of many beautiful things in aesthetic way!!... watch closely the timings to make video clips, keep a constant search for the suitable song... match them exactly... add them seamlessly... quite an effort!!! All our VM makers, especially Hinaji (hkp11) makes it appear so effortless... but, I guess the experimentation she started will continue and one day she will invite us to visit her own album..

Friends!!! A big round of applause to you all... for introducing us to so many things... 👏

and the best category... are the people who encouraged... A big round of applause to them... (especially aardhan and tupu)... no matter what, these two have cheered everyone with the best vocabulary!!👏

I have not wasted any time on the forum... I have learnt many good things!!

We the readers (only) also enjoyed reading all creative work...

Very well said Mudra! The creative members need a round of applause for making this forum a wonderful place , its worth spending time here!

I only know that forum is the only happiness that I chose for myself.It gave me friends by choice and not force after marriage.

You know Mudra when I discovered the forum , I found so many kindred souls who like found the serial touching our lives in a strange , their sadness was ours and we smiled happily at their happy moments , why this one and not the others , cause for a change we had had educated people , who dressed normally , and did not go overboard with the melodrama , it was sutle and sweet , then I discovered a whole new world of creative, crazy , mad people , whose madness was infectious , the posts were even crazier, soon I was laughing so often , the stories very sweet , the effort put in by each one of you tremendous , many as you said will go on to be writers , or make albums , each discovering in themselves something new. That's life as we grow older to find new things to grow to our full potential . Kudos to all you wonderful people love you all

This is so true "If we are wasting our time and enjoying ourselves, then we are not wasting the time"

Great post Mudraji this has become my second home - I enjoy myself here make time out of a very crazy crazy busy schedule. I am always trying to finish my other tasks quickly so that I can be here.
