Kavi –
More than nostalgia…
There were days, when the only highlight of the said days was logging on to the forum and feeling the high that only BWL can make me feel. I have moved on a lot since those days (and I say this at the risk of making myself sound important. But you guys know what I mean).. for the better. I am deaf. I was going through emotional hell when I first joined this forum – something only I know.. my friends and family had an idea.. but nobody knew how much it really stung me. Perhaps that played a part in my becoming so attached to this place… I don't know.
But right now – I don't know why. I'm not sure I even care why. – I really wish I could go back in time to those days.
Sigh. How I wish I could walk backwards down this path of Time. I really wish I could. Feel… feel that magic again.
That crazy buzz I got from talking to strangers I did not know… and yet, still… it felt right. Do you know what I mean? You all know I am very fussy about this whole being-on-the-internet-and-letting-my-self-free thing.. I don't know why I am, but I am. But.. I can't explain it. There was – there still is, in a different way, but there still is – a magic to this place. Something that I have, I can honestly say, never seen or felt before. And I doubt I will. Whatever other forum I may become a part of… or whatever… nothing, NOTHING, can ever be the same as BWL. I may forget the details of this forum, but I doubt (generally speaking) I will ever be able to forget what I felt from being here.
It sounds useless saying this… completely useless, compared to what you have given me… but this is all I can offer you in return, BWL: thank you.
Me, me. You, you. They, they. We, we. Us, us. Me, you and they make we-we on us us. Lmao.
(echo…)
Lmao… lmao… lmao…
I've been away for so long, I have not a clue what is going on… BWL wouldn't work on my darned machine. Sorry, guys.
Nessa – it seems like you were on a vacation? Hope it went well!
UP, Rani, Senor – HEY!
Mukesh,
Help! I am using another computer to type this from.. my computer is not allowing me to post any posts.. ! That's why I have been silent (my apologies). There is an error sign at the bottom of the page whenever I am unable to post the posts… is anyone else having a problem with this?
Thank you,
Boo

'She Walks In Beauty,' is one of the most memorable poems in Literature. Written by Lord Byron, upon first seeing his cousin Mrs. Wilmot, who had come to the party, wearing a black spangled mourning dress:
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
Hard to feel anything but love after reading these lines, though there is no one to whom such love may be directed.
Reading this just reminds me of Shakespeare's Sonnet 130… lol:
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; |
Coral is far more red than her lips' red; |
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; |
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. |
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white, |
But no such roses see I in her cheeks; |
And in some perfumes is there more delight |
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. |
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know |
That music hath a far more pleasing sound; |
I grant I never saw a goddess go; |
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: |
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare |
As any she belied with false compare. |
I think I prefer this to Byron's..
Also just wanted to know though, how does one get barred from this forum??
is there anything specific that one must say or do??
just wondering, boo wouldnt help me with closing down my member/account ..whatever u call it..
Hey… you never asked me for help about closing down your account ji?
Also – if you are really serious about closing down your account, you should e-mail or PM Mukesh about it.. I don't think I have the right or the means to do that… but, are you sure you want to close down your account? If you have any questions or doubts, PM or mail me, OK?
Also – for the new logo.. I have come up with one idea.. should I create a new thread where people can discuss the logo? Also – is there a… a… catchphrase or description or something of sorts, to use? If not, I could ask people to contribute their ideas!
Hi Mukesh,
Thank you for the upgrades… they are looking great! But if I may… just one thing (and I am not sure if anyone else feels this way, so some feedback would be good people..).. I find that the green is too bright, it seems like a little bit of an eyesore, as there is a lot of green, and it is all too bright… I was wondering how you got this forum to be green.. was this colour part of the package, or did you get to select the hue yourself? Because, if you and other people think it is worth looking into, it would be nice to change the green to a darker shade, if possible.. like the colour I am using for this text? (in any case, I doubt the old forum's green was as bright as this…?)Thank you so much, Boo.
BAQTIAR SABH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kaise ho aap??????????????????
My face is HUGELY grinning!!
So glad to see this little monster back!!
*touchwood*
I am so hungry.
SenorJalapeno:Pork? Never tried it, but am sure it tastes like a Pig, and if its taste is any similar to its looks, its probably awfully yuck.
I had sweet and sour pork for dinner last night.. it was not the best pork I'd had, but it was good. I like the taste of pork. Bacon/ham/pork/sausages… no wonder I love Deutschland! lol.
GSOH.
I cannot believe you capitalised Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate, Senor… sigh. This is not German, you know.
I hate dark chocolate. And caramel. (Am a fussy chocolate eater. lol.)
Godiva? Why does that name sound familiar..?
Great! There I was thinking I could laze around while you ran all over the place trying to “find” my chocolate… and now look who's lazing around and who's trying to organise for some chocolate! Teaches me a lesson, I suppose.
Yemeni you really are a buddhi, I guess… my grandfather says that… (and who knows, he may well be as old as Mr.J here… lol )
