Hi guys!
Nandini calling every member of the forum to just listen (read: read) my thoughts for a moment.
By now everyone knows that I had joined IF long back because I was a DMG fan, what you all don’t know is that I had only watched the show for only 3-4 months and I had stopped watching the show long before I even knew about the existence of the website.
For me, the reason to stop watching the show was very simple that I couldn’t take Shilpa Anand leaving the show and that night after the episode when she had announced her exit, I had ran to my house’s terrace and cried hugging my house help.
But ofcourse I wasn’t over the show and had found fan fictions on DMG blog, after one year on that blog I came to know of IF from one of the blog members.
For a long time on the forum, I was a silent reader and I had eventually made an account because some FF was a members only post. 2-3 months in, I had forgotten my username and then I had made my current account.
I did make a lot of friends on DMG and FF forums, out of which 4 even have my personal contact and one I did even meet in real life while some of us are fb friends and so many lost contact.
On that forum I had so much fun that even after watching the show for only 2-3 months, it took me 6 years to come out of its hangover. I was reading AR, KaSh and ArSh FFs well in 2013/14.
The interaction I had on that forum has been like a bench mark for me and that’s the experience I take on each forum that I go to.
Then on KYY forum I was mostly a silent observer because the show didn’t exist for me unless my DMG family forced me to watch it and we discussed it on fb.
Then I came to IPZN forum (despite not watching the show much or liking it that much), where I was elder to some of the members and the transition was from me calling everyone di on DMG forum to people now addressing me as di. There too, I was super active and made friends.
Then I came here, with you guys it’s like DMG forum days again. You guys are lively, fun, easy to interact to. I didn’t think IF could be a place where I would visit every day, even if for only 5 mins, but with you guys around. It’s a journey that I look forward to.
Thank you everyone for such a warm welcome and love that you give every day! ❤️
