Edited thread title... she's listened to our words/wishes and decided to stay...đ¤
__________________________________________________
I know this is childish... and if I've understood you well...I realize you wouldn't like this attempt of my one bit - possibly mentally chiding me 'I thought lashy was well and beyond all such antics!'
However, I cannot help it...I don't know how else to show you how much the people here love you..after all, it's love/dependence that keeps us bound as social beings...I didn't know what else to do...
I've replied in my thread...but post those very words here again too...
I would implore you to post at least a shorter analysis...people adore you, respect you, look forward to your posts...they read your poetry even if they don't watch the episode...as you say, in this day and age when such lucid analysis gets read by even the youngest of viewers you must be having magic in your hands...
If health doesn't permit, can you not make the length of your takes shorter and still let it be a daily affair? If there is one thing this forum would miss as much as RT on screen, it'd have to be your analysis aunty...I can imagine most would be depressed to read these statements of yours (as I find myself right now)đ...
Having a loved one in your midst for so long and then not having any glimpses of them suddenly is very painful - at least for me. I understand if your health doesn't permit long posts...but at least a few words everyday..at least replies to other posts? Till the serial takes your fancy? We just want you here...đ
Aunty, I'm not asking you not to stop your analysis...I'm only asking you not to leave...

HER POST in my thread
My dear Lashy,
I woke up this morning, read your post, which is as lucid, precise and analytical as ever, and I realised three things.
One, and this I knew already, you are a very clever and perceptive young lady, who does not look at anything and everything thru roseate, indeed deep pink glasses, so that even if the clouds are dark, one imagines the sun beyond them, and insists that it is really shining out there, and it is our fault that we cannot see it. You see what there is and you say it as it is. Not as you want it to be. Like Mahaam as I described her yesterday, to be precise.
Two, while I will try my own hand with the kaleidoscope tonight or tomorrow morning, I have arrived at a definite conclusion about myself. I simply don't care any more. It is too tiring for me, these endless posts of mine, the subsequent discussions as to who means what when. I cannot cope with it any longer, in terms of either the time I have to devote to it, which is currently running at around 6 hours a day all told, or the strain on my eyes and my wrists. I am not as young as you are, and it is becoming much too much, like a treadmill from which I cannot get off.

Three, the fun of watching the show is getting eroded for me by all this excessive parsing and analysing and explaining of things which can be turned upside down overnight. I have posted on 2 other forums earlier, one for over 6 months and one for just 5 weeks, and in both cases I lost interest in the story. Here it is different, but one thing is clear, I cannot go on like this till the show ends. And I cannot write the occasional post on interesting episodes, or do a weekend summary - the latter is already being done and it is not 1 or 2 episodes a week that merit analysis, it is 5 a week most weeks.
End conclusion, I am opting out. I have a heavy personal work schedule between now and March next, which rules out any continuation of such frantic posting from my side, but even otherwise, I found, especially when doing my ???? ??? post yesterday afternoon, that it was becoming a chore, and I was not enjoying it. One should never do something that one does not enjoy, not at my age. Sooner than not, it is reflected in the end product.
I have grown to be immensely fond of many of you young people whom I have got to know here, and I will miss you a lot. I am sure that though some of you might miss me, you have some excellent writers in the forum who span the whole gamut from very emotional to very dry, and they will more than make up for any gap that my leaving might create. I will say goodbye properly tomorrow, with my post on episode 84, but this one is just for you, as I have developed a special affection for you even in so short a period.
