The new brigade... Review on Reading Reviews on MouthShut

One more on MS. This time I have a few tips for the new members as well as highlight the new best writers. This review is my outlook on some of the new budding writers at MS. Umm, a write up on the new members at MS. I thought I’d write one on newcomers since there are already too many dedicated to star writers. If you find it offensive, say so, I’d be glad to oblige you. It’s a writeup. If you feel the advice is useful, take it otherwise leave a comment to burn me for life! ;-p

For a moment think about your profile. Since MS does not allow other members to comment on your profile and any information you provide is taken to be true by others, check out for offensive comments when posting. Too often most come out as offensive and antagonizing. A few profiles…

Profile A - Dear friends, I am sankie or was earlier… I have removed the offending line from my profile now. (‘Dear Sankie’ is a good writer, though he tends to rate others SU or U - as all new writers do). Slowly I see the norms of MS and hope to confirm with it someday. Anyway, I noticed that since the Sankie statement was withdrawn, and a new image uploaded immediately a few people have noticed my profile (as more friendly) and have become regulars on my reviews. (Once you realize the unwritten rules at MS, you are getting somewhere. It’s not about beautiful profiles, it’s about Live and Let Live and seeing other’s opinions also count)

The point? – There’s no point in using antagonizing statements in your profile. Keep it as dry, humorous or informative as possible. That way, your profile would be more ‘acceptable’ I still see a statement in this profile, but I think U want to know that? is ok… but still unacceptable especially when you have taken time to pen down your interests. Also the grouse - ‘dear friend’s I noticed that one of you have added me to your distrust list.’ -- Don’t worry, that’s part of the deal. Get used to it. I can still feel your pain and welcome you to MS. (I have one in my distrust list too. Unfortunately it can only get bigger)

Profile B – What dear? This proff-f- file is act-ttt-tually dull-lll-ll unless he changes-sss-ss his styyy-yyle drastically-yyy-yy…!!! But I guess his rating all the memb-bbb-bbers SU or U has gotten all of us baying for his blo -oo- od. But, he was fam-mmm-mous with a review on women-nnn-nn…!!! It was actually meant to be a serrr-rr-rious one about today’s woman being a no-no. And seeing women responding more comically damag- ggg-ing to it, he decided to make up for it by writing on-nne on the negatives of men. Blass-ss-phem-my! Oops-sss, this too ended up being comical! *Who knows dear whats that all about-ttt-tt…? *Now we are forc-ccc-cced to wait for his thir-rr-rd comical review. His tech reviews reek-kkk-kk of old information to us techies, becc-ccc-cause we know better softwares/prod-ddd-dd-ducts available. But still, we all know that a VU rating encourages newcomers to write more and get bett-ttt-ter consistently. But he still seems to have a thick sk-kkk-kkull as he rates others SU or U. One advice to this profile – Live and let live. But then dear, that is what liffff-fff-fe is about. We are not interested in your outside profile. And the tag-ggg-gg line seems too big while some of the comm-mmm-ments are shorter than it. Neways - Keep writingggg-ggg..!! (but stop rating-ggg-ggg..!!)

Profile C –  ~|||Aah! This profile, I like.|||~ This one writes beautiful ones but adds dumb one liners to it, especially at the end. Deal ya no deal, that’s part and parcel of it(The pompousness)! I thought it was all about writing. Come down to earth, Profile C, we all have been writing along with you and we do know it is quite difficult to keep writing. ~|||Don’t state the obvious|||~ (As he most often does) And we still write.

~ |||Profile C has spoken|||~

Profile D – Sex Sells. And how!!! This one seems safely snuggled in a photo of a model. I don’t remember where I have seen the image, but do remember seeing it in a mag. He writes good ones, usually at midnights in one of his er… moods. By morning they are deleted. This one makes it a point to add atleast the word ‘sex’ or writes porno stories for our entertainment. (Strictly a male following there) See above? I was unable to find it in one, but the rest had them. Who cares whose image that is, as long as he writes well as he does… But more than that is his pick of topics. They are real gems! And the timing! Just right! Heh-heh (Bed-time!!!)

Profile E – A part of the Ganda Bandas. Has used it to good effect as the quickest learner of the lot. Period. He has a few chaddi friends - Cheetah, khookar, chandu, gazab, fundo  The most adaptable too. He started by having an image of a biker in a helmet, not his own image, (Or was it Mr. Beans with the Private ad?) but then his writing was fun most of the time. Almost all his initial ones were brief and to the point. But he did observe other writers too. I notice that he sometimes varies his style of writing based on his influences which is a good thing.

Profile F – Aap bahut acche likthe hain Mummy Paapa bol bolke thag chuke hain ki aap bahut acche hain. Hum aapke Shukr Gujaar hain  Par kya aapko Koi RSS waale Paise dete hain ki aap Hindi mein Likhe? Aap Hindi mein Bahut acche likthe hain. Hum aapko yeh salah/mashurah dete hain - Jab tak aapka naya baasha international community mein manjoor nahi hota hain, aap please Angrezi mein likhe taaki MS waalon jo Dusre Desh se hain Pad Sakhe. Aur hum mummy pappa ko bol sake ki aap Angrezi mein bhi bahut acche likthe hain.

Profile G - This guy had an attitude problem just with his ID, nothing else. Just like Sanki, he had only his id discouraging others. Though he was fun in most ways, he tapered out with his brief spurts of creativism. In fact for a long time, I thought profile E and Profile G to be the same. Anyways, even with a simple comment like I did not like this review, could through most of us off due to the ID. It prompted one of the MS writers to state Panga Liya to kya kiya?  That is a clear giveaway of the ID, actually!

Profile H - He actually is an oldie with family values. With more experience. And just my age. Just that he joined MS only recently. I think that’s a bottle of Aristocrat displayed next to him. I guess most of the time he is either floating on water or jogging. All those years in the armed forces have drilled vast pools of patriotism into him. That and the (Hic) of course!

Profile I- MS waalon, apni naam agar idhar dekhna chahoge to - Pay me 100 bucks to give you a positive review!
