re: WCFC go help prevent stampedes - lend a hand |

Soeb,
How true you sound to be, everytime when you exhort the rest in WCFC? But, alas, we are not getting even that 1 single person imbued with that real big dedication and the ability to rope in people for putting plans into practice. WCFC seems to be in a stage of perpetual planning. I am also responsible for this decadence.
When I launched this small network, I thought I would be able to get a few youngsters, who would translate plans into performance. But that seems to be quiet far away even now.
As of now, the average profile of WCFC members is that of an avid net surfer, more interested in sharing their experiences in one or other public-related issue. More WCFCians find the pleasure of reading, writing and surfing. This is not bad; nevertheless, this kind of profile of the members is not going to help WCFC realize any of its objectives. A few "yet to be be married" ones and a few "retired from active job/occupation life" may extend the lease of life for WCFC. I am yet to see this kind of profile in WCFC - not even one so far.
The main problem is that everyone would like to throw ideas, plans, projections, strategies, etc., etc. This is something that cannot escape in a net-oriented activity. The boon and the bane for WCFC is that it got born through the web. It should NOT remain in the web itself and should start walking around the physical roads of Chennai. This is NOT happening so far.
In short, it is the VIRTUAL WORLD that seems to be more interesting to the cross-profile of people in WCFC than the physical participation.
We can call some activity of WCFC as successful, only if we are able to assemble at least 20 people in less than 24 hours notice. All that we do, other than ensuring this kind of preparedness, can only be peripheral ones. I am having hope against hope to realize this. Don't know when this will happen. I don't want to hazard a guess right now, when it will, but I am not quitting the scene at yet.
Very unfortunately, my present professional commitments take me to different places on many week-ends and this is yet another reason, why my own contribution in WCFC is almost zero.
Hmmmmm..... Praying God to give me that strength and determination to do what I think I should.
