Cheema sahib, you are showing the symptoms of the end of-Stage-I of the famous Chowkitis disease. It happens to individuals who originally came to chowk following the works of individual writers then got tempted by the span of issues being discussed and the immense scope for doing good through such discussions. By the end of stage I, such individuals become reasonably familiar with the fallacious logic of most contributors (writers and interactors). And they are ready to leave... Except, by that time, it is too late! The bug has gotten hold! And there is nothing to look forward to.... Except Stage-II and Stage-III.... But I won't tell you about those now...it's too depressing! flag objectionable content

NB, I have figured out the perfect antidote to this "mutual admiration" bug. And it actually works! I am NEVER nice to anybody! ) flag objectionable content

hmmm....this "logic" thing I could never understand most "logic" on chowk goes like: every cat has four legs my dog has four legs therefore...my dog is a cat! flag objectionable content

no, since you imply that means being nice to someone so that they'll be nice to you. flag objectionable content

bj2 its not a mutual admiration society Perish the thought, its just that they both (a) share the same views/opinions (b) share the same knowledge (c) have the same logic Its natural that they both should agree. Its called the "Peas in Pod " (PIP =Picture in Picture on TVs) Phenomenon flag objectionable content

Cheema sahib, I should have directed the last post to you. Bhatti sahib, that one was meant for Cheema sahib. Seedhe seedhe wapas kar do, varna...! flag objectionable content

BJ, you make it sound like the temporary marriages, stop this immediately flag objectionable content

Bhatti sahib, Mushairas have a noble purpose. They are generally genuine and meant for fun. It is absolutely okay to boost the morale of individuals who - for example, maybe shy, new at the trade, or just not comfortable performing in public. I am glad the mushaira attendees help them. The appreciateion is meant well. Not in the mutual admiration societies which are clearly marriages of convenience! Illicit marriages of convenience, IMHO! flag objectionable content

akcheema, that is such a good analogy flag objectionable content

interesting discussion here beej! may be it has something to do with the "mushayera" culture ....... the "wah wahs" etc I scratch your back you scratch mine I suppose flag objectionable content

Bhatti sahib, I think this phenomenon is more peculiar to the writing class of people. And, I do not mean to unduly alarm you, but... (Hushed voice) I have seen a few symptomatic individuals around this site, too! I kid you not! flag objectionable content
