I am not a seasoned contributor in MS. Neither I am too good with literary expression. Still I enjoyed the dynamism of this site and was regular for a while. Afterwards when I started behaving like myself, it started creating ripples. One fine day I have deleted all of my diary posts. Inshort, I am the one whom Winston Churchill defined long back - "If you have an important point to make, dont try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack"
This syndrome will call for getting slapped also. So my initial moves were calculated and later on when you cannot help but being yourself again. Afterwards, real life situation got replicated here.
I have interacted with many out here. Mostly through M2M. Some of the associations were quite funny but there are a few which I count to be fruitful. I never had intention to look forward everlasting friendship from any virtual froum but at the same time was quite open to accept what ever come my way.
With the year end activities, by April I have decided to get out of this space for a while. Till when the work kept you engaged, I never thought of MS. But once when that phase was over, again I started peeping into this site more often. This time, I have decided not to involve too much. Involvement will call for engagements and engagements might turnout to be addiction. I am afraid of the temptations.
Finally I realised, what matters is not the hours we spent here or the frequency of comments or contribution. Whether we are able to take what we require; keeping to yourself is the best mode which suits me. I might not be a hardcore contributor but now this space started smiling at me again.
Virtual space is not meant for quick fix solutions to temporary issues. Also, it is a poor substitute for the real world. Each space got its own importance. Whether you choose judiciously, that matters.
So, I got in, addicted, tried my level best to get out and seems I invented the right proportion that suits me.
Also, just because the monkey is off your back, doesn't mean circus left the town. Show is on and I am also there somewhere in the crowd.
Chalo, I am going to attend someone's birthday party, Guess who?
