SoSy for me began with its very first update. I came across the forum accidentally, when I was watching some YHM episode online which I had missed. The forum opened me to a new world. I actually had no idea that people spent so much time discussing t.v. serials. I did feel it was a waste of time, but then I realized that there were stories to read, too. That redeemed the concept of forums in my mind a bit.
And very honestly, it was SoSy that got me hooked to the forum.
I stopped following SoSy and the forum after a few updates because I couldn't connect the characters to the show and it was of course, the show that made me (and all of us, I believe) read all those stories in the forum; when we were all still hoping that the show could be salvaged. But I returned just to know the ending of SoSy (didn't know that I would be wishing for it to never end someday). And then there was no turning back! It was the 4th thread and I just had to finish reading all the previous updates immediately. Your writing is that compulsive Nisha (plus I have minor OCD issues ).
I was on a trip to Rajasthan with family, in January'15. We had to wake up at 4-4:30 am some days to be on schedule and yet, I would be reading SoSy at midnight under the blankets if the update was late. I would be anxious about the next update and worry like I myself was II and madly in love and lust (). I so enjoyed all the conversations on the thread. I thought my interest in the story would wane and hence, remained a silent reader. Didn't know that SoSy is something that's for life. Finally, in April, I made an account on IF just to be a part of SoSy legitimately ().
I praise the updates all the time, but I would like to mark this occasion by praising or rather, by being grateful for what you've given me through SoSy, Nisha. You and your talent is a blessing that I am grateful for every single day. You've brought together a bunch of such wonderful human beings whom I am lucky enough to call friends. We've transcended borders in every sense and I've felt all those emotions on this thread that I feel in real life; love, anger, frustration, grief, acceptance, joy, excitement - you name it. I do believe now that people can fall in love virtually, because I have - with YOU, your TALENT and ALL THE PEOPLE on this thread. I pray you shine on and so do all of us.
May God Bless Us All
Much Love,

It's been year since SoSy started. And it's been Solace in life since sometime in January 2015. I guess I was meant to find this place. Thanks to YHM going down the lane which started putting me off it. I was looking out to know if the things would improve in my favourite serial at that time hence googled for it and stumbled upon IF and IF lead me to this tale one day when I was randomly looking for a break while in office.
NISHA, I couldn't stop until I read the entire set of updated as on that date. I am sure on which thread you were when I started reading not sure of date or anything. But the story made me captive the day I started reading it and I am till date as glued to it as I was on that day. Infact invested more in this story then I am in many more things in my life.
As soon as I am on my own I started reading SoSy. If I don't get a fresh update to quench my thirst I read the old ones. Please do believe me when I say this it never feels boring. Some details which I had missed out on earlier occasions I saviour those details when I reread it. You are just marvelous. I want you to earn yourself the name for this storytelling talent of yours. I really wish SoSy be published. I will have my own hard copy then and will be at liberty to read as and when I want.
Now about NISHA the person. I am damn skeptical in my life actually. I have numerous reasons for that. But when I read about you (few others like Vani, SVM, Nivi also was one of those, sorry I am sure am missing out many here) you guys just make me believe that all is not yet lost. Maybe I might not be able to change this world but by doing something within my reach I can atleast be of some good. Likes of Ashu, Arya, Nivi, Diva, Harsheys, Anu, Shev, Shruti, SR (later it was Putii, Noufi, Nammmu) kept thread alive and are one of the reason so many us here are actually vocal about our thoughts.
My first Comment, I categorically remember the reason for my first comment was fear that suddenly I will lose this world of mine coz someone hurt you. Since, then I actually have opened my mouth whenever I feel someone is hurting you and at times might seem harsh to some people when I open my loud mouth. I am selfish in doing so. I know one thing for sure. You write this amazing story not only for yourself but also for us. You might say you are not doing any favour to anyone but you do. None of us give you back anything in return Nisha. But you still think about us and write. You wrote even when you were on your vacation. I can't even imagine how you manage to write amidst your busy schedule. And the quality is amazing. We get to know our own flaws as well when reading this. We live our lives vicariously through R&B and II.
In this journey it has become more than a tale now. People out here are have actually like family. Each one of us have their USP. Some like me are muh faat. Sorry, if ever hurt anyone. If I feel something I speak up. Some souls really make this world a better place. Nivi, Vani, SVM, O and you are amongst those.
Thank you for SoSy Nisha. Want it to go on and on.
I wish there comes a day we have an Audio CD to this tale.
