Have some thoughts in my head regarding cricket. Anyone interested to hear via PM?

These days we hardly have nothing other than mobile and sim ejector in the so called eco friendly boxes.

Funny that they give the reason as being eco friendly but then the customer needs to buy the charger/earphones separately which again add to the overhead (extra card boxes, transporting those boxes etc) thereby defeating the very purpose it was implemented for.

I got to know about @NILAYSHAH60 passing away today.
The whole day it was on the back of my mind, man used to interact with us a lot. Had some great inputs of cricket discussion as well was a passionate guy and lover of cricket in general like all of us.
Knew he was physically ill but the man kept fighting and he is like inspiration to all of us.
Its been 9+ years since I have been on this forums have met some great people over the years and Nilay was one of them.
Life is a humbling experience is what I can say today a bit emotional day for me for a guy I only know in the forums but makes me wonder how connected we are as human beings just by chatting through texts.

I completely feel what you have mentioned here! This is the 3rd person on the forum I have lost and every time I hear this I feel numb even though I have not met anyone one of you or even seen how do you guys look except a few who are on my insta.
Please know that even though we might be supporting different teams, have different ideologies, different countries, different religions, I appreciate everyone of you whom I have interacted on this forum. I do not spend a lot of time these days but it has nothing to do with the forum and only to do with personal life.
Please feel free to reach me on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter. Message me and I will happily be available and make you part of my life. Life is too short and post pandemic I have learned this the hard way.

His passing away has definitely been affecting me, has been on my mind for two days. He was a true inspiration with his passion and eagerness and this place will be worse off without him. I wish I’d have spent more time with him if I’d knew he would be cruelly taken away from us one day, serves to teach us that we should treasure every moment we spend with others as we will never know what holds next for us in this uncertain life.

I second you on that Bevab. Won't say I knew him well, but do admit that would have spent a bit more time with him had I known it would come to this. Understand that many of his closest allies aren't doing too well mentally. All I can say is for them to take things slow, ease back into life at their own pace and give a shout if you ever want to share something.
Only on an internet forum do people have the free licence to destroy others feelings, make accusations, make nasty statements and then find out they're wrong and never have the courage to admit it.

Well they shouldn't care should they? Someone online said I'm a nerd. I'm devastated. Someone online accused me of $!@#*?. I'm not saying people don't care, I'm saying they shouldn't.
Firstly, there is nothing wrong in being a nerd (in the positive sense not the negative, even then the definition is reversed), my post was based on something different but I do make you right. Brotherly love and connecting should be the pivotal fundamentals of a forum.
