Here's a sudden revelation. I know some are still celebrating Diwali, some of us are overloaded with work, exams, and some others are busy with family affairs and some like me have alot on their plate right now though I don't say it. So is anyone here totally free and jobless? Guess not. And no one is totally away from their PCs either. I might seem jobless to you cos I'm here everyday just like Cheesy, Amit, Michi, Sushmita, Ammu, Sam and Aakash are, but the truth is we are not jobless...atleast we say Hi whenever we can. But the rest of the BUFers have vanished just like that. ahaa hold on before you defend yourselves! Just like you, we have work and life's other events to attend to. No we don't have too much free time on our hands either. And no one's stresses can be compared to another's but we are still here. Just that we have a bit more of dedication, perhaps we care a bit more than you do about BUF? Go ahead be upset with me for saying that, but I'm being honest here...and you know I can't say sweet nothings just to please people. WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE? Just because Ish is away (we know she told us that she's going to be away for a while), looks like everyone else has taken that post as their notice of a 'Break from BUF' too!
I see no point being around here when everyone else is on a break...when everyone else don't feel the same way about this place like very few here do. So I wish to be away from BUF as well, perhaps till next year? This is not so that I can feel better about myself by joining you all in being absent, but it's cos I'm bored coming here everyday to find no one around - to realise that only very few here take online FRIENDSHIP seriously...cos it's only words I see and no action. I know a truckload of comments and instant action might follow this post but that doesn't prove anything...cos for weeks this space has been abandoned and hence this post was written. Maybe it's time for me to take a break as well? See yous don't-know-when, have fun!
Hi,Keshi...I can very well understand your annoyance..but,let me say-give people a chance..everyone has his or her own reasons(sometimes,excuses?:))
ReplyDeleteI agree-even we don't have too much free time,but,we're,I guess,just a wee bit more addicted to BUF and,in general,to writing,to stop coming here to check who's posted what and when(Or,not posted.smile).
But,tell me,is it a solution,for us also to stop visiting here?Instead,let's keep things moving,and moving forward,by posting more often,commenting,being on the SB now and then,etc.:)When time permits,of course.I prefer this anyday,to doing any idle surfing on the net.cheers and thanks for the honest post.
In total agreement with you here!
ReplyDeleteAmit I know wut u mean...but can I say that I hv my stresses too...like no one wud ever know. But as respect and love for this space, I come here often. And I know u and Cheesy and few others I hv mentioned is keeping the place alive when Ishi is not ard etc..but its always the same ppl posting here..did u notice that?
ReplyDelete**But,tell me,is it a solution,for us also to stop visiting here?Instead,let's keep things moving,and moving forward
Its not a solution. I know I cant force ppl to feel so passioante abt a thing they prolly dun feel that way abt. But that post was done out of pure frustration and it came straight from my heart. It may not look very pleasant to read but it's thr truth.
Why I thought I might take a break is cos let others feel how empty this space is too when the 'regulars' r not ard...the one who post all the time. And to be honest Im busy with my life's issues too and yeah I celebrate Diwali and Christmas too Amit...did u forget that?
Keshi.
Amen! At least one person knows wut I mean! THANKS CHEESY!
ReplyDeleteIm really tired of patting ppl on the back saying its ok take ur time we'll be here til u get bak!
MWAH!
Keshi.
Hi,Keshi...your point noted.*smiles*..
ReplyDelete1. Let your frustration be vented out.
2. I know you have your issues,life is not a bed of roses,but,still,a cheerful person around always makes a difference. I'm sure,if you ask BUFers,whose posts they read with max interest,it'll be yours. So, you shouldn't just say adieu like that.:)
3. I know you celebrate Diwali and Xmas.So do I.And,New Year and...:)but,then,I have a passion for writing,same as you do.So,I just-cannot-give-up.And,I feel,neither should you,even for a short while.
4. I wonder why you don't convince the regulars who comment on your blog,and,who seem to have writing as a hobby,to join BUF.The more the people,the more will be the variety.Right??
I'll end with one word: THINK (Again).cheers.
Cheers!
Get your point nice and crystal clear Keshi... but then answer me this... just coz there are zillions of vehicles out there emitting obnoxious gases to pollute the environment... will you stop doing your lil bit to make things a lol better? you won't... right?
ReplyDeleteWhile matters whether other are regular here or not... at least teh ones who are... those are managing it... shouldn't give up... that's how a good thing goes to teh dogs....
and thnz Amit... you really have been carrying teh baton here nice and strong!!
can we have a three cheers for him please??
Amit Im not saying that ppl should read MY posts :):)...ppl should write more often here or atleast say a HI to prove they care abt this space, other than just stuffing the place with posts when somebody points out to them that this place is getting empty etc.
ReplyDeleteIf they cant do that in weeks n months, why r we here? We might as well continue with our own blogs...and those who wanna say HI can come to our individual blogs whenever they r ready to do so. And as far as I know, all the regular bloggers here in BUF do visit my blog anyways and I visit their's. So I see no point wasting my time and energy here writing for ghosts.
**just-cannot-give-up
true...but even if u give up, wut exactly wud u be giving up on? Tell me Amit :)
** I wonder why you don't convince the regulars who comment on your blog,and,who seem to have writing as a hobby
Amit its not my job to force ppl to join BUF - but I did mention abt BUF in one of my posts when it first started. The link is on my sidebar, and few ppl like u and Silvara got inspired by it and joined BUF. So others can do that too, if they want to. Besides joining BUF isnt that straightforward. Ishi has to approve the app'n n right now she's on holz.
Looks like BUF is continueing the way it should. So Im glad. But Im off.
tnxx Amit TC!
Keshi.
Its so easy for ppl to just say FRIENDSHIP exists here blah blah blah, but tell me, how many TRULY act upon it?
ReplyDeleteIm sorry, Im rather disappointed. This is exactly wut happened few months ago when Ihi got disappointed too. It keeps repeating. U can tell me Im
'giving up' etc but to be honest I havent given up on my friends here...I hv only given up on a space that no one seem to care abt except very few. So to be honest I dun feel bad..because I gave my BEST while I was here.
Keshi.
hey Sam tnxx!
ReplyDelete**at least teh ones who are... those are managing it... shouldn't give up
:) wut r we managing?
Keshi.
well there are many things we know are right that might seem to be excuses to people
ReplyDeletesay i was in hospital for 2 weeks and am still recovering so will u take it as an excuse?
even if u do then am sorry to say there are no HEAVENLY means of entertainment and communication at a place where u are struggling for ur life only to survive:)
Vipul u should know I didnt mean u! We all know u hv been ill and was in hospital. Well Cheesy todl us so.
ReplyDelete**say i was in hospital for 2 weeks and am still recovering so will u take it as an excuse?
u even think I cud be that NARROW-MINDED Vipul? to think that way? Then u dun know me at all.
Anyways no point argueing abt this anymore...it wasnt abt u. I hope u know that. tnxx!
Keshi.
**am sorry to say there are no HEAVENLY means of entertainment and communication at a place where u are struggling for ur life only to survive
ReplyDeleteduh like I dunno that! Vipul plz know that this post wasnt abt u. If u felt bad abt it for some reason, then its not my fault. Besides Im not stupid to EXPECT that someone fighting for life should be regular in BUF! TO be honest, WHAT made u think that way abt me?? Perhpas cos u dunno wut kind of person I am? Im sorry u had to write that line to me. Its really hurtful.
Besides this wasnt abt u..it was abt the regulars who were here when Ish was here too. U were not regula for a very long time anyways. So please know it wasnt abt u.
Keshi.
keshi no offense i am not pointing anything
ReplyDeleteam just saying this cuz there are a few of them who joined later , dont even know about me and then they ask me you arent even active.
that has happened to me so i thought i wud give some clarification.
sorry if u felt offended it wasnt for u:)
Im sorry u had to write that line to me. Its really hurtful.
ReplyDeleteawww am sorry not to u juz not to u! Its for someone who will get to knw once tat person reads this
am sorry i wasnt clear enuf
tc and sorry again
Hi,Keshi-in response to 'your reply to my reply to your reply to my reply',let me just say:
ReplyDelete- I agree- you do need to take a short siesta.:)
- Wait for Ishi to return and see what she says.
- I fully appreciate how fervently you feel about BUF,and,would really like everyone to connect as regularly as they could.
- I don't know about you,but,if I give up,I'd be losing out a good outlet for me to both read and write posts,understand views from people around the world on a topic(s),a convergent focus,in short,rather than a divergent set of views like we express on our blogs.
- I don't mean for you to 'force'people who comment on your blog to join BUF..well,perhaps you're right-if people were interested in writing,they'd click on the sidebar,like I did.:)(Tks for that,again.)
Cheers,calm down,read a good book(And,review it for me later.)*smiles*.
Vipul tnxx!
ReplyDelete**am sorry not to u juz not to u
how can u say it was not for me? It was in response to my post abt EXCUSES. No one else wrote a post on EXCUSES rite?
Anyways no worries. Now that ur bak hv fun.
Keshi.
hey Amit tnxx!
ReplyDelete**don't know about you,but,if I give up,I'd be losing out a good outlet for me to both read and write posts,understand views from people around the world on a topic
that already happens in my own blog Amit. :)
Anyways tnxx for understanding wut Im saying. I need a break.
u TC!
Keshi.
Hi,Keshi..I know that happens on your blog,but,I said'convergent views',i.e. with a topic fixed,people write on it..while,on individual blogs,our mood for the day is our topic,many times.:)
ReplyDeleteCheers!Happy siesta.
I got ya Amit...but isnt it the same. Even in BUF we give out own topics, we vote for em, we select the most fav :)
ReplyDeleteKeshi.
they did but noone covered this topic
ReplyDeleteand its in your post but its obvious u knw me i cant say such thngs to u Rite?
well wat i can only say is that am waiting for that person to read the comments whoz comin back from a long break!
Its so sad that Ishi has to take all this after such a wonderful time with her folks. At the same time it is appalling to see how most of us have simply abandoned the place and now that Keshi's on a break too I guess its going to be even worse ..... but anyway as suggested Let it Be!
ReplyDeleteI hope you recovering well Vipul ... take care of urself baby .. don't stress okay silly billy!
k Vipul no worries :)
ReplyDeleteI hope ur well now? plz TC!
-----------------------------------
Cheesy I realised it was not worth cribbing abt ppl who r not here..tnxx for making me see that.
So yeah lets just get on with it!
MWAH!
Keshi.
wat r the new topics?
ReplyDeleteVipul
ReplyDeletecheck out Ishi's latest post 'knock knock' ... she's posted the link to the topics.
