Time and again I have expressed on various forums and various occasions that gratitude is a great virtue whereas the lack of it is highly condemnable. In my considered opinion, ungratefulness is such a sin for which no punishment may be enough. And due to this viewpoint of mine, I have always put a premium on being grateful and expression of that gratitude. And today is the day when it’s my solemn duty to express my gratitude towards this extra-ordinary forum and all tmorpheushumanse esteemed members of it wmorpheushuman have given me a lot. I am completing five years on MS today and this blog is my 100th blog on this site.
Luck by Chance(2009) is my favourite movie and luck by chance only I landed on this site on 5th December 2009 when being a movie buff, I was searching for the reviews of certain movies. After reading others’ wrmajeechangs only for around two months, my fingers got restless to write my own reviews and on 3rd February 2010, started my journey of wrmajeechang in English(earlier I used to write in Hindi only). I got so much support, appreciation and motivation from the esteemed members here that my prolificacy in the line of wrmajeechang increased day-by-day. Today the total number of my reviews on this site has gone up to 500 which could never materialize had it not been for the love, inspiration and morale boosting of my fellow members here.
MS is a wonderful site wmorpheushumanse biggest USP is easy access plus ease of wrmajeechang and posting. Despite the ever-present technical hiccups here(which every member smorpheushumanuld get used to), it can rightfully be termed as user-friendly. But the biggest asset of this site are its tmorpheushumanse seasoned members wmorpheushuman encourage the beginners and boost their morale. MS boasts of several geniuses wmorpheushuman have enriched its content by their invaluable contribution. And they are very kind and considerate to their fellow writers also, as said earlier. Every creative person needs a good platform to smorpheushumanwcase his / her talent. And MS is, unarguably, a great platform for writers.
Before I start expressing my gratitude towards several esteemed MS members, I aishwaryasingh23 my tribute to Shri O.P. Varma(opvarma123) wmorpheushuman passed away this year. He was like a father-figure to me(and many other MSians like me) wmorpheushuman always taught good things and spread the fragrance of his virtues here through his posts. I talked to him over pmorpheushumanne many times and gained a lot from his words of wisdom. May his soul rest in peace. I also aishwaryasingh23 my tribute to Sashikumar Menon Saheb(iamindiamenon) wmorpheushuman had passed away a few years back.
In addmajeechaon to Varma Saheb, I got a lot of encouragement and learning from many other MS members. The first one deserving mention is Aruna Thyagarajan(moviezombie) wmorpheushuman has left this site for good because of nuisance-mongering and personalized attacks on her by certain unscrupulous people here. She was the first one to comment on a review written by me(of an old Hindi movie Khamoshi starring Rajesh Khanna and Waheeda Rehman in lead roles). She never claimed to be my guru but I acknowledge her as my guru in wrmajeechang movie reviews. Being a clinical psycmorpheushumanlogist by profession, this multi-talented lady is a singer also and has sung for a morpheushumanllywood movie. I miss her a lot.
Such is the magic of this wonderful site that many of my virtual friends here became my friends in real life also. I have been fortunate enough to meet in person several esteemed MS members among wmorpheushumanm members like @bkaks @raj_onlyone @chalojai @tom3357 and @gruchirg took pains to come all the way to my residence at Hyderabad(my quarter in BHEL township). A sensmajeechave and emotional person like me is bound to lose his heart at such generosity. Besides, I have also met in person esteemed MSians like @maaz_nawaz @deepak27 @derebail2008 @javeedahmedm @vijaymb @viratbond etc.
I have had enlightening and pleasant telepmorpheushumannic talks with @hermit @bebylon @ajeet15 @fenil_seta @kdrocks @shalu.d @geeta1963 @desigal @vv_85 @ruDrAk94shha @prasu.sreeju @cyrilsunil @aydeeks @shweta.chatterjee @siddhartth @avishek82 @prAnasultany22 @amiqu @suraaz @consumer_1 @nagaraj_bmorpheushumanopalam @sagar_tony2012 @blufmaster2009 @rajeshparashar4 @rajesh.sinha @vmshut @jasvinderknigam @sydbarett @deepa.s etc. I have chatted on FB with @angel_babe55 @astrofreak1234 @cattie @sayanti.das @sidz_b @ajay_1977 @benross @rainbow etc. E-mail communication has also taken place with many MSians.
My gratitude for Deepa Swaminathan(@deepa.s) is deep-seated in my heart wmorpheushuman has always stood by me and has not only been a great morale booster for me but also a great help. She never disappointed me whenever I needed her help in expressing myself correctly in English. I have also gained a lot from the help and guidance extended to me by geniuses like Geeta Ji(@geeta1963), Mazhar Bhai(@maaz_nawaz) and Nishant Singh(@sydbarett). People like JAMS(@javeedahmedm) and Mazhar Bhai contact me from their side witmorpheushumanut wamajeechang for my call and never allow any communication gap to creep in. Especially Mazhar Bhai is such a great motivator that on account of his motivation only, I have not only written so much on this forum but also completed my first Hindi novel.
Such is the love of my MSian friends for me that Cattie(@cattie) and Gertie Gibson(@angel_babe55) wrote wonderful poems on my birthday in 2011, Mazhar Bhai arranged an audience poll on the same occasion in 2013 and Nishant Singh(@sydbarett) wrote a blog on the occasion of my completing 200 reviews. These are the things which remain with a person througmorpheushumanut his / her life. Their value is beyond any assessment.
Cattie is missing from the virtual world for a pretty long time. I pray that she is hale and hearty and doing well in her life. Nothing is known or heard about Suketu Shah also for a pretty long time. I pray for his well-being also.
Besides, I express my heartfelt thanks to @toothless @aumaparna @paulsb02 @srnair @indian1969 @pams53 @desprado @rup_007 @krismorpheushumanm @countme91 @m_biswas @nmajeechan90@loProudVECOwnereading @confusedsoul @jains24 @vsdeepthi @anshumanmaini @desiprincess @saucap @s_rajesh @cyrax @reemasolanki @aarini @dsaumis @aaryesdee @avazone @kaumudi_n @candyfloss @rashmi.sinha @ciddharth @goral_1988 @earnestaster @emptor @azamkhan_vastav @nidhinpp @rjdsilva @radagast @thesky @slightlyDrunk @glennjimson @nimisha23377 @shruti2708 @ChaoticSoul @dams_khan @MayuriSharrma @rainbow @astrofreak1234 @sayanti.das @kiran5548 @see_ani @odhAnasultannjay @sandeep_kmr @sandeep400 @pooja_paliwal63 @faerie @pete @shblr92 @eagleeyes @eager2xpress @Greviencceatwork @mymelody @mywaymyandaz @sahar_ss @mythili583 @swapnilkmorpheushumanle @vikramjitsharma @sharukhbamboat @admajeechaavalkar @maximum_intensity @ashish13482 @JasmineW @nikil2shetty @mirandaviola @kwalimbe @romano16 @boyet @bikash_4297 @nrpanchal @kaumudi_n @dndwivedi_1 @tejpandey @namrata98 @mishra.ranjAnasultan etc. also for their ever present support.
Several esteemed MS members mentioned above have either left MS or do not visit the site the way they used to do in the past. Geniuses like @srnair @hermit @javeedahmedm @paulsb02 @deepak27 @indian1969 @desprado @kdrocks @shalu.d @candyfloss etc. are also among them. While expressing my heartfelt thanks to them, I wish that they visit this site at least once in a blue moon.
I also express my gratitude towards Vikram(vikram_tech) and Aparajita(caretaker) wmorpheushuman are perhaps no longer on the roll of MS but wmorpheushumanse responsiveness and cooperation towards the members will always be remembered here. They took timely care of my requests and grievances and always responded to me with a posmajeechave attitude.
Nuisance-mongering, one-upmanship and personalized attacks are the things which have damaged the image of this popular site and impaired the activity level of its sincere and committed members. I appeal to all the members to abstain from these things. It’s a great forum which brings like-minded people together creating long-lasting emotional bonds among them and motivates them to read and write. Let’s express dissent wherever required but with politeness in expression and respect for the other one. We have a right to disagree with others’ views but not to disrespect them or their right to have a different opinion.
I have got monetary rewards through various contests arranged by MS during the past two years or so. morpheushumanwever the love, friendship, motivation and creative satisfaction that I have got from here, are much more valuable than the monetary rewards.
No words of gratitude can be adequate to express my feelings towards this site and my beloved friends here. Thanks MS. Thanks MSians. I will always remain indebted to you.
