We all have been here for a long time. But the recent turns of events are really sad. For the last few days the only thing going around is pointing fingers at each other. Lets not forget that pointing fingers at anyone does not help resolve an issue. When we point one finger at someone, we should remember that four other fingers from the same hand points to you. So, let us all do some self-criticism instead of criticizing others. We are not here to rectify others faults, or be a moral police, or be the judge of someone else's character. We all come here to relieve our stresses at the end of the day.
We are all human beings and all human beings have strong likes and dislikes. It is not necessary that we like everyone in this forum. There is always a small group of people who find themselves closer to one another than the others. And if that is GROUPISM, then so be it. Why should we be concerned about that? Why make a big deal? It applies to everyone. Everyone here has a small group of people with whom they connect more than the others. So, let it be the way it is.
About the regionalism issue. How did it arise in the first place? Who is regional? I don't think anyone is. Here we have people from all the states of India, and even outside India. It is like a mosaic of cultures, which is a very beautiful one. Lets not spoil it please.
Now coming to the point that the forum is beginning to slow down. It is because people here have become too sensitive, too judgmental, and too picky. People are picking on other member's posts too much. This constant bickering is leading the members to loose interest in this forum. There should be topics for everyone. Some chatty threads, some fun threads, some antakshari type threads, some lovey dovey threads, and also some threads where people can do some heated discussions. That way we cater to the likings of everyone.
Lastly, lets just be the person we actually are. Lets come to the forum without putting a mask on, and pretend to be nice to everyone. Also, we should learn to avoid the threads and posts that does not suit our taste. Lets follow "Jiyo aur jine do"
