Though I am a member of Mouthshut since Mar 12, 2002, I have become active after my return from USA in September 2008.

Though I run my own website which includes many interactive pages, blogs, connected to twitter and established many international followers, linked with reputed International websites and member of many blog sites, face book, Hi5, Linkedln, Tagged, keep your computer alive, twitter etc., I somehow started liking Mouthshut. I am not a good writer. When I was trying to settle down in India for good at the age of 64...soon will be entering 66 on October 2nd (Gandhi's birthday!), I started to re-participate and become active in MS.

Though I went through so many ups and downs, criticism, hardship, and insult by some of my friendly MSians, somehow I have become addict to MS spending most of my retired life reading DPs, reviews, poems, and viewing photo albums.(Still I run my own fully owned companies in India and USA). Now I have many really trusted friends who really boosted my old age and interacting with them bringing me slowly feel younger than I am. I can mention many, but the list is so big, well spread over the entire globe! I was also able to meet many MSians (meeting unseen faces!). First meeting of Sajit at Pune, meeting Bangalore and Chennai MSians in Chennai Ms Meet and recent meeting , Khalid, encouraged me to visit MS every day, every hour every minute! I was also able to talk to many MSians of Bangalore,Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai Bhopal and Hyderabad over phone who shared their personal mobile numbers! (sorry I don’t want to mention their names) We had nice friendly chats which I never had with my own old College friends!!

The problem of slow browsing is not a big issue, its common with popular sites when traffic increases suddenly and the server unable to manage and needs upgrading. It only shows that there are so many enthusiastic MSians are visiting MS everyday at same time! It’s a good sign and boost to MS.

This is my longest stay in India for nearly 12 months. We are planning our trip to USA/Canada again during middle of December '09....for six months, a home away from home where our Children and grand children are settled. But this time I will be in touch with MS from USA/Canada too. we may also visit our usual trip to Dubai.

God bless you all and all the best to Mr.Faisal -and his strong team of followers!

I love my MS!

Ross
