Its took me a while to understand the nitty gritties of mouthshut contest and the website, but once I did, I am in a free flow .
I am slowly beginning to find acceptance among other Mouth shutters, its really bringing people together, I am slowly sharpening my writing skills.something I never knew I could do good with, I am more aware of my grammar and my vocabulary than I ever was .
I am loving the format, the contest and being a part of Mouthshut, yes I am a little peeved at not having bagged even a single ROD to be outright honest, but life is very just, if I deserve one, it will come sooner or later if not maybe I had to do much better .
Sometimes I feel under paid and under rated too, but than as dear faisal said, who pays for reviews and at least we are getting something .Over and above all this it gives me immense pleasure to help people help themselves and give them enough substance or food for thought to make an informed buying decision.
There is no joy more than the joy of giving.I am feeling those vibes though I also feel slightly unnoticed, I hope things to improve with the passage of time .
I also love to go through useful reviews but I really am struggling hard to find genuine ones or ones that are elaborate and detailed . But there are some guys like Jitendra Mathur who pour their heart out, and some others who write so well, i’m taking a lesson or 2 from them in the skills of writing well and there are so many, who write so well, who were born to write, they actually give me an inferiority complex.
Its sad to see some guys writing reviews without ever having bought or used the product . Some just point blank "copy- paste" . Maybe they wish to get paid first to buy these products later on . I have honestly brought many products only for the sole purpose of reviewing them, which I would not have brought otherwise . I am sure MS knows there is some weed with their review crop and I wish they can remove this clutter so that we can read reviews without bothering about the superfluous junk that has made inroads
No matter what I do in life, I do it with a lot of blood, sweat and tears, I give a lot of input, I try to learn a lot most importantly . Lets hope this reaps better results in due course .
Every day I try and make a difference to how I write, I am always conscious of the fact that I must make an impact in terms of what I can say with words and not make them sound hollow .I may not posses the ability to set the web pages on fire but in my small little ways, I try to help others help themselves .
Mouthpad is a great idea.but I wish they are quicker than they are allotted . Maybe there are multiple requests for the same for reasons that are very clear- Double dough.
I so wish I could use more than 2 pictures with my reviews too, sometimes they speak a lot louder than words and 2 may not be enough .lets say I have to show all 4 sides of a product . maybe MS can even consider a slideshow system as a new improved idea . I still do not know how to create hyperlinks with my reviews . I also wish to see MS on a slightly better server to speed up web pages.
I genuinely hope both MS and I can continue on this journey and make it fruitful and rewarding for each other . There is some room for improvement but only some pertaining to MS . I can say the same for me, only I have a lot of gaps to plug . Gaps related to communication and knowledge . But i’m digging deeper every day, treasures and fossils maybe deep down .
I wish MS the best always!
