I've been a member of this forum for years. In 2010, at 13 years of age, I posted here for the first time. My first post was a silly comparison poll that got shut by the DT and left me red-faced. Long years have rolled since then. I know that the forum would be shut now that the show no longer graces our screens. Hence it was important to bid a final goodbye to a wonderful discussion forum that has been such an important part of my finished years. Since the time I joined, I took an active part in the creative corner, hosted contests, won some, created DS's birthday threads and ATs, posted an excess of pictures featuring him, and went euphoric at each single glimpse. At times I felt that the members weren't that absorbed in discussions when it came to DS. This led to certain conflicts and offenses. I registered subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) protests on certain occasions and kept quiet on the rest as I was concerned about what others would think about me if my deed caused ripples in a forum otherwise famous for lack of fan-wars. Thankfully, none of those conflicts happened to be long-lasting.
Being misanthropic and an introvert in real life, initially I couldn't adapt to the online world and avoided posting much. Gradually my reluctance subsided and I became active in the forum and even made some friends. Fleeting time took most of them and I can barely tell you how much I long to restore those comforting friendships.
Regarding my journey with CID, it began in 2010, with my classmates discussing how brilliant and captivating the show was. I wasn't a devoted viewer of any show then. In fact, a crime show with recurrent mention of the word laash' sounded too gory for my highly sensitive taste. However, having nothing to watch, I stumbled upon CID more than a few times until Beherupiya' re-run wedged my devotion and calmed my fickle-nature. The last scene illustrating Daya's lifelessness on the bed tormented me to such an extent that I ran into the other room and wept. What followed was a re-run of another episode in which I saw that he was alive and well. Unfortunately, that another' re-run wasn't Lapata Ladkiyaan and Sony's negligence left my 13-year-old self muddled with tears, heartache, and anxiety. At that point nothing short of LL could alleviate my heartache.
This was the beginning of my journey with CID. Though I watched the recent episodes too, I was more engrossed in the Classic Cases re-runs. Those episodes have an aura one can scarcely remain unaffected by. I quit watching the show regularly around 3 years prior to its closure. But the news of its sudden closure gave rise to a sea of old memories and I sobbed.
CID is over! It didn't take me long to come to terms with it. But, thanks to the efforts of some of our members, we have access to most of the episodes.
Thank you all!
Farewell, and fare well!
