First Let me introduce myself a little... This is Swarna from Hyderabad...
and May I know your name 😊
Thanks a lot for briefing me about episode...
I got it...
then why I asked instead f simply going to hotstar...
Sorry I didnt think of that option..
- Usually when I skip an episode, I read written updates so tht I wouldn't miss what was going on...And for last night's episode, I couldn't find episode update, so I asked you guys, hoping some one will tell me
- Whenever I missed watching tv, I don't go to hotstar, I can't afford to sit n watch for 20 more minutes, if it is written updates I can read in max 3 minutes... Not that my time tooo important, I prefer written form than Vds...usually, less time, easy way..if I think its too good to miss, I ll watch it on hotstar rarely...
- I m an active user of IF, so thought its better to ask than to bear whole episode in hotstar r than inquiring about repeat telecast... I don't think its that interesting not to miss...IF tho, anyways I will check it time to time..then why not asking :) Any ways, sometimes, there might be chances that I may get good friends also😉 whom I couldn't get on hotstar!! selfish me...
Last but not least... whats up with those "quotes"?? I am not able to understand the reason behind using many of them... Sorry if I didn't reach your knowledge level...😭
Hello! First of all, Apologies on my behalf for delaying this reply (in case you might've really 'got concerned' 😉). Oh, so you're from Hyderabad?!! Lucky-You...!!! You must be 'enjoying' pleasant-weather there and here, we're shivering in this daily ice-cold weather nowadays in North, believe it or not, but 'Thanks' to our proximity to the Himalayas, we certainly 'enjoy' winters the most!!! 😆 (Although, as a matter of fact/'honesty', at least we're getting full-sunlight since past 3 consecutive-days. 'Hattrick', huh...?? 😉)
Now coming to your first-question (literally), hmm... The name?! While I may seem like a 'crazy'/'maniac'/'psychotic' or whatever else, but someone [subtly] asked me in the same manner as yours in this very-forum itself a couple of weeks ago and 'unsurprisingly', I took ['literally'] months to revert back. So, I would like you to
have a look at that response to [most-probably] get [to] the answer of your question, I think it's little-interesting given there are very few, if any, who prefer to set their usernames on IF in that simple-manner. I still do realise I may appear as either 'arrogant', 'self-obsessed', 'delusional' or 'stupid' to type that long rather simply giving you the answer upfront but I just thought that it might be better to refer you there as apart from reading the first-para[graph] which is necessary-to-read, anything else may catch your attention there and since you're willing to learn about me, I thought that's a 'good-'way for introduction rather going the usual-way of starting from divulging your name to 'little-something' about your life including hobbies (if any 😆) to concluding by stating the reason of why you're interested in the show [on IF's forum]. Since how I communicate with others may give you a better-idea about me than what I proclaim to be. Since it's said that: "Your actions speak louder than words". While there's no possible way to distinguish between one's actions and words here (😆), but if someone is really behaving honestly, without any 'fear', then at least his/her behaviour can be judged [somewhat-]accurately (varies upon person-to-person, how did they interpreted your words i.e. how's their own psyche, including effects of prejudices and biases playing role in their judgement). 😳
Mention not [for gratitude in return of my contribution]. 😊 And it was indeed my 'luck' that you got my 'instantaneously-'typed response accurately.* {Phew...} 😆
Now coming to my response for your-answers-to-my-single-question:
- Mm-hmm... That's fine. Oh, so you too really on "Google Baba" to search for "updates" or have you already/just 'bookmarked' some websites? 🤔
- But my perspective differs a little because most of the commonly-found "WUs" are inaccurate to an extent that either they steer the narrative away to some other direction or simply confusing. I hope you have read my elaborate-response on that in this forum itself and I don't have to 'propagate' my views again (by linking to another of my posts). 😳 😆 I'm sure had you watched the episode or found an "update" from some other, more-reliable source then you must've found inconsistencies in my very-"update" itself but didn't 'performed-the-dissection' so I don't feel bad (it's obvious since it was you who asked for the "help" at the time and I was one of those who chipped-in their efforts and time to react accordingly so you'll obviously be concerned about my emotions 'more-than-normal').
- Hahahaha... I understand...!!! 😆
Now 'here goes the "Boom!"', okay I'll try to answer but please understand that it may lengthen this post even-longer (though I'll try shortening it if deemed necessary):
Actually, couple-of-reasons:
- First of all, you must be watching the news-media, especially the "Electronic-Media" since at least a decade? Or at least have noticed that most of the outlets usually hop on the "tabloid-"format to report "news", especially when they have to attract ratings/readership/hits (when it comes to online-media), so when they use such a term which usage in the context might be considered that strong-enough to create a controversy, they simply say it (read: display it) anyways but with the usage of punctuation/quotation marks. Thankfully, they still bear at least some of journalistic-values left so they also use such symbols to indicate the gesture of a speaker if [s]he have clearly indicated it while quoting his/her words.
- You said you're a regular on IF and after noticing your joining-date, I guess it's safe to assume you must've your share of experiences with it. So you might've noticed there are 'some' significant-drawbacks (well, others may disagree but I'll remain adamant unless rationally-proven wrong) of this site, one of them is character-restrictions! You can't type special-characters like intellectual-property symbols, object-symbols or basically anything which has now even been converted to standard-"Emojis" (the Unicode standard, think of it as the most-common language-scripts guidelines for computer-systems/"computing"). What's more? You can't even type special alphabetical-characters used in contemporary-scripts of several [modern] European-languages. 😳
- So those quotations I use have different meanings, depending upon the context of their usages. To sum-it-up once-and-for-all (I literally mean it, I may refer someone else to here if [s]he raised the question of such nature or even made some remarks of that nature in future):
- When I use double-quotations (""), it means: A) I'm simply quoting someone else's words or some common-reference. B) If I used it for ranging from a single-term to even a short-phrase, that'll most-likely mean that I'm using wordings learnt from someone else as part of my speech and therefore, I shouldn't be held completely-liable for it since I didn't confirmed its definition[s] or primary use-cases. Though in the case of latter (short-phrases), occasionally it may be the case that I'm indeed quoting something but it's that short that I can't unnecessarily extend it to make it look like a proper-quote (dependent on various factors). In such cases, I may use colon/ratio (:) symbol to indicate that but that's 'not a rule'. So it's advisable for someone to ask for himself/herself if such use-case[s] is/are causing confusion[s].
- For singular-quotations ('), as I already cited news media's usage-case above, often, I use it for saying something which I might've felt but didn't literally "mean it". Think of it as a short-way of disclaimer, since I don't want to use "No offence...", "No offence [for <this-and-that>]" over-and-over-and-over, just because I thought of saying something really-honest! Consider it as my own-way to disclaim in the shortest-manner possible. Also, I may use it for specific-terms which may not primarily-meant-what-I-intended-to-convey so looking-up thesaurus[es], or most-easily, clarifying it directly from myself is advised.
- At some cases, the usage of singular-quotations may look "weird" due to their usages on terms which express contrasting tones/sentiments from/on the rest/most of what-I-expressed in any given post, then it's advised to clearly evaluate whether what I said in quotations could be interpreted as "negative" when I generally said something-"positive" in my post and vice-versa, and if that's indeed believed to be the case, simply get-the-answer-as I'm just speaking-"sarcastically" i.e. exact-opposite of what I should have been saying. Consider it as a[n] disclaimer/indication of my "Sarcasm". Or yet-again, reach me directly if one's not confident about his/her conclusion.
*I realised lately that I might've "missed-something" in my original-post/"WU", so added few of the new elements without making any typo-/grammatical-corrections/improvements. Hoping you won't get "inconvenienced" by it, to say the least, if not appreciate it. But please, I hope you may not make form some 'negative-'perception about me (read its Edit-Note' to get a better-idea). 😆 And yes, could you still get what I divulged as the "'magical-'appearance" thing (in 'P.P.S.'), if so, may you summarise what have you understood [to the least]? 🤔 And please, do it very-honestly by just looking inside your mind and this thread only rather 'elsewhere', accepted?? 😛 😆
Note: Didn't consider it necessary to explain my usage of apostrophes since it's obviously in most-common usage-applications, so I don't think they may cause any confusion to anyone generally, if any. And obviously, the reason why I-didn't-elaborate-it-more-than-deemed-necessary is already aforementioned, and apart from that, when IF doesn't accept those characters, it's futile naming then individually since no matter whatever-I-input, they'll always get 'translated' to what's identical or for particular symbols, [even] removed anyways. 😳
P.S. The last-bit of my honesty is that, while the usage of those symbols may look "intellectual", I guess that may also be construed as a "disease" by some because it's excessive. So since you seem understandable, and "mature-"enough, I've 'painstakingly' tried to reduce its usage here. And yes, while it's still not a perfect-time to respond, I 'risked' doing so nevertheless since I'd already postponed it many times (due to the crisis of getting enough duration and opportunity to peacefully "formulate" it [in its entirety]), so any irregularities should be "pleaded forgiveness" as I already spent 'fair-'amount of time and efforts [while doing so], maybe at not-so-perfect-yet-'unavoidable'-opportunity. 😳
P.P.S. And that's why I've [now] cut-short the presumably 'anxiety-triggering' long-length of this post by entirely removing the "quotebox" of my original-post included in your reply. 😉 😊
P.P.P.S. Except for this para[graph], the entire post has been 'crafted' several hours ago (almost 16-18). Also, some grammatical-improvements have been made during first complete-proofreading for this post 'just a while ago' (in ongoing session). But an exception is one time-sensitive point with added'-humour', I didn't change it.
Edit-Note #1: Fixed the improper-quoting of your post.
Edit-Note #2: Attempted to fix the same-issue reported in 1st-note.
Edit-Note #3: "" {Same here...}
Edit-Note #4: [Hopefully] The issue got fixed. {Phew...} Also added an additional-info in the 'P.P.P.S.' of this post which I originally intended to include to forget at the last-moment. 😆
