Hi friends, I am completing my 100reviews in Mouthshut with this and let me use this space to thank each one of you who visited my reviews, rated it and left your comments. I value your positive feedbacks very much. I value your opinion positive or negative since they are my guidelines for future course. Each comment you wrote have a value placed on my growth in MS and in my personal life. So, hundred pegs or flowers…as your wish…here it is for you.
I started my mouthshutting with a movie review, in 2006 March. However, I have visited mouthshut in 2004where I was searching for movie reviews on Hulchul. I visited the link I got from yahoo search and come back again to read more reviews on the film. Then I thought of posting a review. However, after clicking post the review, Mouthshut asked me to register with a valid email id, but I feared giving my email id will invite spam mails or even viruses. Yes, that was my genuine worry to join in 2004. I dropped the idea then and there. It took another Priyadarsan film to search for this site where I already knew that there is a site where I can post my review. (Remember there were not many sites offering readers to write reviews in 2004/2005) My first review was on Malamaal weekly. From there, I started my journey in MS, mainly on movie reviews, but slowly shifting my one foot to other topics as well. Earlier I only used to visit the movie page of MS and only later come across most of the fine reviews and reviewers.
Even after 100 reviews, I know I am a pure amateur and still have more to learn than what I know already. Writing in MS surely helped me to improve my language. I know I have to still improve. The site also assisted me to keep my cool under pressure. The company of great people like you really helped me to grow wise and rich, especially since I value friendship much. The site did contribute to my personal growth and knowledge. It evoked my imagination to sky bound and more. My curiosity for more knowledge is teased by MS friends. I will not say it is a direct impact, but the indirect impact has been much more rewarding and inspiring. Quality of thoughts is another unique feature I liked here. If we genuinely consider, the group of writers in MS are really genius. Refer to any serious discussions and you will have to admit that. At the same time most of them keep a softer side, a funny side to keep the life more happy and enjoyable. It only shows the quality of the individual.
So far I have given 42 Bollywood movie reviews, 6 Malayalam movie reviews, 1 Hollywood movie & 3 reviews on movie related topics. That put my tally on movies altogether @52. Obviously I am writing more on movies, because I know it is the most awaited reviews in mouthshut than any other topic. I also noticed that Mouthshut reviews are well tagged to reach by yahoo or google search. You search on any books or movies or advise, mouthshut reviews are getting prominent places. As I mentioned in few of the comments, I am definite that many a times MS member reviews are even read by celebrities and doesn't matter they don't leave a comment in the column, as they are not suppose to and even if they do, they will not disclose there correct names for sure. Search to believe.
I would love to write on Malayalam movies or Tamil movies, since I like both these genre of movies very much. However, these movies released here too late. And the readership is comparatively low as I am writing it after say 2 months or 3 months of the film release. Still I may write on good films since I got a surprise visitor to my movie review by none other than my brother in law one day and he mailed to congratulate me. He found my review by yahoo search. So, I know there is a connection link I am leaving for my class mates, relatives etc., back at home.
I have written 13 book reviews (Only? I was under the impression that I have written more…Lol!!!) so far. Of course, I would like to write more book reviews for sure. 6 reviews on Tourist places (Not bad…especially since I only traveled less. Let me travel more to write more…will write more for sure, but later…not in the near future. I am sad.) 9 reviews on advises. I noticed that the advice reviews are getting much less attention. Thanks to the grown up readers who are reached a stage in life and looking at it from top, where those write ups are mainly for people who look from bottom. I will continue to write for those growing generations to search and find out.
I have written 14 reviews on general topics, current or general in nature, something personal etc. I think I will write more in this section in the coming days. I am yet to express my views on various issues. More than anything, some of my good reviews (according to me) has come under the above 2 sections.
Including this one, 6 reviews on mouthshut…Oh! That is on the higher side I believe. But what to do, all is written with a purpose. So, may be I will maintain the same pace on it. Reviews on mouthshut usually attract more member visits and comments. (No…that was not the purpose of this topic selection, but I wanted it to be special and the easiest solution was this topic.)
