I have absolutely no clue as to why I ever registered myself as a MS member on that' Fateful' night!( One of my friends, God bless him, recommended this site)
- I have been a member now for a little over a
fortnight!
I have written 5 reviews.
I have received 1 HR, 2 R, 2 SR ratings.
Read hundreds of reviews .
Rated a few of them .( I still am not convinced totally
that I am in a position to' Rate' any reviews)
saved all the ratings, M2Ms & Comments.( Though it
occupies space in the ever shrinking Mail Box of my e
mail account with Rediff.com.
Changes this has brought about in me:
- I have for some strange reason started to fancy myself
as a great review writer / writer almost in the class of
say. Earnest Hemingway!
- I have, for some even more weirder reason, began to
feel little more important than what I actually should
feel.
- I used to be a Normal net surfer & not a Netizen . I
used to spend no more than 30 - 35 minutes in sending
unimaginative & boring mails to my cousins in US of A &
in Germany. These days I spend hours in front of the
PC.to be precise in front of MOUTHSHUT.COM.However The
time spent seems to be grossly inadequate & I seriously
feel like spending few more hours! I even contemplate
bunking office, shun social life & social commitments.
- I get quizzical looks from my son who sees me forever
typing something, intently reading some reviews,
chuckling to myself( after reading some extraordinarily
humorous review)
- I get suspicious looks from my wife who, by now, is
convinced that I am having some kind of extra marital
affair on the net! I realized that I JUST DON'T SPEND
ENOUGH TIME WITH HER ANYMORE!
- I am now being ostracized by my social circle & friends.
Whenever they ask' What are your plans tonight?'
With a definite glee, I almost always reply' I have
work to do at night' I know in my heart that it is
just this addiction to MS, that prompted that reply
Scary thoughts.
# Have I sold my soul to the DEVIL?
# Is Mouthshut.com an alter ego of the DEVIL himself?
# If not why this addiction?
# Will this ruin my family & social life?
# Have I, already, been labeled as a Social outcast?
I surrender to the power of Mouthshut.com.I hate to admit but I am now a confirmed MS addict
Sob! Sob!
P.S Notice the question marks! Increasing with every
question posed!(Thats for the dramatic effect!)
Hey guys .I hope you haven't taken this too seriously!
Ha Ha Ha!
But atleast I can proudly say that I am a member of this amazing site.MOUTHSHUT.COM
