My experience has been interesting in IF. most of the people I met here, we have real-life connections and friendships as well. Like I told you Ramay and I met on several occasions during my work trips to Hyderabad.
BTW, coming back to 'Bade Bade Log'. You know Kriti, as I am ageing, I somehow understand that age is just a notion in the head. You would be surprised that I have interacted with 70-year-olds too in this forum, a wonderful lady called Shyamla Aunty who is a Retd IFS officer and very accomplished in real life. Google her. And, I have had the most wonderful discussions with her.
I have met some REALLY different age group people starting from 17-year-olds to 45-year-old women and crazily accomplished women through shows across cultures and different geographical boundaries. And, these are REAL people and not crazy teeny boppers spreading HATE.
That's what social media has done to the world, if it has negatives, it has positives too!
I like interactions irrespective of PREJUDICE, not getting RILED up ever!! Every age group has something to contribute to the THOUGHT PROCESS!
My first forum was D3 (Dil Dosti dance) a shoe on channel V
And I got some great friends there ,some were of my age group,some younger ,and some older...and Men too who's like around 25-35 or something at that time ...we still called them bhai .
I am not mocking anyone about their age
I am saying when we talked to someone virtually without knowing their real identity we thought they're just like you
And when we got connected to them on WhatsApp Facebook ....I got to know their real age .....but the connection between us had become so strong that the time comes when age didn't matter when we got to know them in real life ..... there's was a girl I met there Annie she's like 40 or something but I still call her Annie whenever we talked on phone, WhatsApp or facebook
Don't know what am ranting
But mainly I wanted to say...AGE and GENDER doesn't matter if connection become strong
