Net nicotine.....

Surfing? yes surfing the net is what I do most of the time.not to mention that I run up my phone bill to dizzying limits.well dont people say that grab the opportunity when it comes into your hands.but I guess this is an expensive one.so one day I got on my web surfing board(the key board), connected and browsed the web joblessly checking mail at the same time.i was basically looking for a site for sales of second hand motorcycles in india.typed in the relevent keywords into my trusty google search engine and clicked on the button ’’im feeling lucky’’.this button will take you to the main site or the most popular site on the web according to the keyword typed in.


it landed me up on this page which showed a tiny picture of the product along with small details about it.rolling down the scroll button on the mouse I saw a whole bunch of write ups about the products.i said to myself ’’what is this sh**’’.all the damn page had was write ups about the products and ratings next to them.i had over looked the mouthshut.after noticing it I started cursing the browser for sending me to the wrong site.the next day I searched for the same product and the same page came up again.but this time I was curious about it.i went to the home page and clicked on the take a tour option.well the site did interest me a lot.so curiosity didnt kill the cat HA!!.i proceeded to the sign up page and after signing up I put in my first review.i could definitely agree that it wasnt really good.


taking tips from ost of you who have read my reviews earlier and putting them into use proved very beneficial.my first high rating came with my review about the album ’’the eminem show’’.and this time it seemed that there were some really nice people on this site that were willing to listen to what I had to say.a big THANK YOU!!.reviews went form ok to good and from good to better and from better to really good.keeping in mind every tip and piece of advice the readers had for me.the trust list then started to grow.i started writing full time during the month of february to april and still continuing.since then its become an addictive site.this is basically my home page on my opera browser.people around me started to wonder where I would disappear to as I would spend hours writing reviews and have written 55 reviews till date this being the 55th one.


i went from writing nonsense reviews to reviews that people would like to read and have been recognized for it but I wouldnt have been able to do that if it werent for you guys.give yourselves a good pat on the back.i soon started to realise that all I had to was write what I felt and write from your heart and experiences.other than trying to overdo it a little.then SUCCESS after my first high rating I anted to write more.i became more of a hobby than wining a contest on this site.that one reason why I havent really taken part in the recent contest ’’TELL ME WHAT YOU DID THIS SUMMER’’.as my writing spree continued the 25th jubilee contest came up.that time my reviews were getting good rating and I started to enjoy writing spending long hours in front of the screen.even though I know its not too good to do that.but what could I do this site became as addictive as coffee to me and by the way I love coffee.


as I had my 12th standard boards going on during the month of april I had no time to read reviews after I wrote one.i had a message from ’’cousin2’’ about me not showing up to read other people reviews.it wasnt a nasty message at all it was a sweet request.i promised to start after my exams were done.well since im on this site almost 24 x 7 my id shows up on most of the rating page of the reviews.i started to enjoy doing that too and after sometime took some time out and stopped writing to read other reviews.the reviews I started reading from a group of people I began to enjoy a lot.let me mention a few of them.


karana23-


an automobile enthusiast writting detailed and great reviews about the things I guess he loves the most.i have had a great time reading his reviews as I am part of that car enthusiast group.he even wrote good stuff on other topics to.keep it up karan and is the first person I was trusted by.


antipopsuperstar-


the next person to put me on their trust list.even though giving my basketball rating a low one he soon started to like my style of writing.antipop was written good reviews and I guess im constantly battling with him on those basketball reviews !!! he he...i was just kidding on that.


cousin2-


the hall of famer on this site.cousin2 I should make my travel guide as I love her travel reviews.it was due to some of her encouraging comments that I have made me want to write more on this site.thanks for the tips and encouragement.


esgallindeion-the lord of the rings fan im guessing.his detailed honest reviews and a some of my favourites and encouraging comments from him too have made me feel good about writing on this site.


davieboy-


even though he pinched my title from my golf review (all in good fun)he joins the list as one of the best writers on this site.keep it buddy.


meleahk1-


a silent reader on this site as have hardly seen an comments from her.but her reviews and are great and fun to read.


abis-


the motorcycle fanatic on this site.i should say that all his reviews have a lot of effort put into it and thats what makes them worthwhile reading.


rodzy80-


the next motorcycle fanatic whose life revolves around bikes and his girlfriend I enjoyed that review about maintaining a bike by him.ive actually put them into use.


mouthshutdotcom-


the id taken from the site name he is a total mouthshut addict and one of the popular writers on this site.


vivekbp-


his was the first review I had read on this site im not too sure which one it was though.from then I knew that he wrote good stuff.


pete-


from the id I first thought it was a man.but then found out that the name priya said something else.he he I dont mean to offend you.she should be my travel agent for those excellent travel reviews.


well these are just some of the people. I would love to mention the rest of them but im pretty sure you wont be able to read any longer.its a great site because for one its just GREAT , it keeps me occupied and I totally love it.plus the other writers have made it a real joy for me to write for all of you. I wish there would me be more like you.i think I need to stop here now.
