I am just updating this review so that my friends do not think that I am resting in peace somewhere.
Yes guys, I am not leaving MS! Why did I ever think of such a self-punishing act? I know my friends were bit taken aback, but I was the one who would have suffered more by the withdrawal. Actually, the day when I read japsin_domnic's comment, I was really fumed up. I said to myself, 'Imran, you put in so much efforts, and some people just don't appreciate it. Why should you be here? Just say goodbye to them!'. But I was so wrong. I am sorry, but I did bad a wrong decision.
How could a miniscule comment shake a giant of person like me? I have faced more severe jolts in the past, but I was strong then. My house was burnt in the 1993 riots, I lost my loved ones, I failed 5 interviews in a role, but never was I so weak. I didn't ever shed a tear! Actually, I stood up tall, came back again and faced life right into its eyes. Now we have done so good that I had enough money to go to UK and do an MBA.
There were three things that japsin did wrong while writing that comment. First, he called me a copycat. It's alright. Second, he said you should stop writing forever. That too was OK. But third, he called me a Paki! This was enraging. Look, I don't have any hard feelings about Paki. But they too won't like being called an Indian! Isn't it? So, why hurt my national sentiments? This is what made me fume. Three members of my family are ready to die at the border, and I did not expected this in return.
But anyways, you all know I leave past to past itself. I want to come back again and write for all you people. I want to be a permanent part of MS.
Now talking about the Community Center, yes, it is a very transparent program. You can know who is doing well, and who isn't. When my name entered the Best Debut section, I was enthralled.
I can go on and on about Community Center of MS, but I was here to just write about my patch up with japsin and that I will be writing again soon. So, there is no need to give a rating to this review or comment or whatever it is.
I would just like to say to all my friends that words can kill. They are potent weapons, which should be used in a right manner. Any misuse can harm both the people, but the right use can bring ultimate happiness. I have felt both the aspect.
Forgive my cranky behaviour and watch out for my new reviews.
Bye then!
