This is just a random post but a thoughtful reflection.
The only forums I have been an active member in on IF were those of Sanaya's shows. So it was MJHT first then IPKKND then CC and now RR. I must say that RR forum is my most favorite. In MJHT, there were constant "wars" between the fan groups of the two onscreen couples. That is, Samrat-Gunjan and Mayank-Nupur. I must acknowledge that I was also guilty as I had my share in those arguments. I don't remember saying anything against Mayank-Nupur but I did insult members of the opposing group so I got my first two IF warnings on MJHT forum - not surprisingly.
I did not think anything of that would happen in IPKKND forum given that we have just one lead pair on the show. Started watching the show for Sanaya and got hooked to it so I landed in the forum once again even though I had decided to abandon IF post MJHT. I remember making my very first post on IPKKND forum to defend Arnav's character. After that, thanks to the politics of the forum, I never ever said anything in favor of Arnav. Part of it was because I started disconnecting with the character as the show progressed and part of it was obviously the politics - this is true and I can't deny it. However, I had decided that I will never get into petty arguments. So I completely avoided Arnav's character. I am aware now that it was unfair on the actor's part but human nature, couldn't help it then. On the other hand, my strategy worked well. Didn't get any warnings from the mods and I can proudly say that I did not use any derogatory terms for the character or the actor either in public or in private. However, the point is that IPKKND forum was as much of a pain as MJHT forum.
Then came ChanChan. Everything was well in the forum. No fights. No arguments. But the show was so badly written that there was hardly anything to discuss. So the forum was boring to say the least.
And now here I am in RR forum. At first I was a bit apprehensive cuz I thought it was so going to turn into another nightmare once Ashish-only fans and Sanaya-only fans come face to face. I had it in mind once it happens, I am so gonna abandon the forum cuz I seriously believe it's not worth my time. To add to it, the kind of annoyance and stress that it brings can ruin your day. I have always said that stress in life is inevitable and thus fine as long as it is for a valid reason.
I shall now happily declare that I can confidently dispel all of my negative thoughts. There's no such thing as Ashish versus Sanaya. We surely have some unsuccessful attempts from time to time. The perpetrators might decide to be shameless and return but they miserably fail yet again. And all of this has been possible because we have such an incredibly awesome group of regular members.
While my visits to other forums were mostly stressful, being here is such a stress-buster. And for that, I thank all of you.
