My two year long affair with myLot has been essentially due to the the wonderful friends I have met here. I have come to know many good people here. Many have left totally with some other priorities and some are hibernating, show up once in a while. I still cherish the days we spent together. The best part is when they show up in your discussions, the joy is out of the world! Recently one of my friends has taken leave and his prominent absence is being felt very much. I know he is well, just cannot log in for some pre occupation, still I miss him. The term Friendship is used very loosely nowadays but I am pretty much old school and is not ready to redefine it. Share your thoughts. CARE A LOT ABOUT YOU FRIENDS, REALLY DO.

I really can't relate to being on mylot and miss my friends who got busy with life outside mylot. When I was on mylot all day long, I had all my friends around with me...and I did enjoy my time here. But then I was the one who got busy with my job and couldn't mylot much. It was around the same time that another dear friend of ours couldn't log in either. Of course, I missed my friends at myLot (a few of whom I did e-mail even when I couldn't catch up with them on myLot)....but it wasn't like I was mylotting and my friend/friends weren't around. Infact, it was the other way and it was me that a few of my friends were missing in their discussions. Having said all this, I have to say that the friendhip I have with my friends go beyond myLot...and they are in my thoughts even when I am not on myLot. We do keep in touch through e-mail or messenger and know what is happening in each other's lives and we also know that the other will be there when we need them (even if we have not had contact for a while)

Hi Mimpi......I mylot mostly for the sake of spending time with my friends..there are a few who are close to me,and I keep in touch with them through mails too...But there are some others in different parts of the wolrd,with whom I vibe well and have a good rapport..I love to see them online,and miss them and feel concerned about them when I do not see them in discussions for days together...... Today I guess I know whom you are missing...I havent seen Dpk around,for the past few days..But I am used to his sudden disappearances for some official visits...He usually takes ten days,so lets wait and see..........And when he is back we will bully him for disappearing like this without a warning..........

Your guess is right Rose....we are missing Deepak...lol.......Though I know he has some repairing work at home and thus he took some days off, yet missing his innocent avatar as we are always use to see him on any page of mylot.....yeah it will be fun to bully him.......and someone else too....., not because he is absent , but because he is present.......ha ha ha.....(cupie)

Hi Aps....Dpk sure is going to have a hard time when he comes back from his repair work...I am also planning to do some repair work on him,for disappearing like this without warning..... And about cupie.....I just cannot understand,Aps...Do you mean to say that you want to bully him because he is always hanging around,and not doing any disappearing act......hhhhmmm......Ok Dear,just make it clear what is your real intention,and I will immediately start bullying him...Its no big deal........Just clarify soon.....

This place is special Mimpi, absolutely no doubt about that. I'm here today only for the reasons of the special and wonderful friends. The daily interations, the humour, the stories ,the experiences its just so special. My thoughts on the subject of friendship are very much old school as well , and that is why i do not make friends that easily. So when any one of the friends is inactive for some time thier absence is felt and we do miss them. I can understand the joy you feel when some of your old friends here peep into say hello. I'm sure a lot of them will come out of hibernating just for you.

That is a wonderful idea. It would be a very happy occassion for me to meet with up friends here. Making a start with indian fellow mylotters is a great way to go about it. Proactive thinking indeed Mimpi. What next ? Set up a a coordination group ? There seems so much to be done. A start has to be be made.

It is really great to know you care a lot about your friends and your discussion says it all. It is but natural, when we interact with our dear friends on-line and through mylot, we come closer and share our life's lot of happenings with them and if any one of them is not around, his/her absence is felt very much. We feel closely connected with each other and when a dear friend is 'missing' we just do not feel comfortable. It really proves that how emotional, kind hearted and caring you are - because you value your friends a lot. Many thanks for starting such a touching and pertinent discussion.

Hi mim, I feel your pain. Seriously, I had a friend that I really enjoyed communicating with, actually I had two friends that just dropped out and I miss both of them a lot. I know one is busy with her family, but I have no way to reach her. I hope she pops in some day to say hi. The other one I have his email and heard from him after I emailed him. I thinkhe is really busy too. It is really sad to connect with someone and then have them gone from sight. I am truly thankful for the rest of my friends and hope they all hang around, leenie

Hi Sweetie, You are a wonderful friend as well. I would definately miss you if you left mylot. I really like your picture. I like having pictures of people. It makes becoming friends more real. Other avatars are cute but they make it harder to really connect. I wish everyone would show themselves. We shouldn't be afraid to show ourselves. I think I'll do a post on that. leenie

hi mimpi dear, I am sure you are talking about our dear friend Deepak.......because I am missing him too....though I know he has been absent due to some of his personal work at home, but still we miss him as he is always active and encouraging us with his positive thoughts and suggestion. Also we are used to see his beautiful avatar of smiling innocent child face.......in fact we mylotters are now emotionally attached to all our friends and if we don't see them for some time, we naturally start missing them.....I am also happy to see you dear after long time, also mithra is now back as Rose....., I just wish all our friends will always remain in touch some way or other.......Thanks for your nice discussion.

Hi there mimpi1911! I surely miss my friends whom I haven't seen around for quite a while now. I miss their opinions and ideas. I also miss their advices and suggestions. Moreover, I also miss the discussions they start. I hope that one day I would see them here again. It doesn't matter how long it will take them to hibernate. What is important is that I would see them here again.

Yeah, I do actually. Especially notable when the friend is the kind to post lots of discussions at one time and would comment on all of his/her responders. Then something would come up that they wont be able to myLot for a long time. Kinda makes me wonder what ever has happened to them. It is really nice when they do respond to a discussion that I just recently started or maybe they start at least one discussion after being absent for months.

Hey, Im sorry. I seemed to have done the opposite of what you commented. Not really one to hibernate but the electric company had a technical problem that left the city blacked out for some period of time. They had a schedule to turn off the the city's electricity at night while doing the repairs but there is electricity during the day. However, Im not at home during the day because of school. They seemed to have fixed things since they didnt turn the power off this time.

Thankfully my closest friends such as yourself do not tend to disappear for too long so although I do miss the presence of people in short bursts it is not something that I have to dwell on for too long. There is one particular user that I was very active with when I first joined that does not participate anymore and I do wish he was still here. Aside from this instance I have not yet been in the position of having people I am really close to disappear for good yet and I hope I don't have to experience this anytime soon!

Thank you mimpi. You are most special yourself! I wish that I was still based out of India as we would have met for sure by now. I may have periods of time when I will be absent due to travel and things like that but there is no way I will not be hanging around in some form or another. The escape mylot provides me coupled with the friends I have made will ensure my presence for a long time to come! I never in a million years thought I could become so attached to a viryal world like mylot but there you go! I am heading out for a few hours now but will return later. Enjoy your day!

Hi Mimpi, Every word of the above topic carries in it the heart felt feelings of you, and that which is realistic. And surely to be frank, i am hibernating as you said, as the reasons are so simple, i have no heart to stay away from the good friends here. So Once in a while i keep logging in and responding to topics. And Mimpi dear, hats off to you, as you have again given a quality content. And its time for me to visit your AC page. Take care. God bless you.
