WCFC Msg Board is on a SHUT-DOWN mode |

Hello friends,
It has really been a good learning experience for me to understand the limitations and potential of internet in tapping resources for service-oriented or community-oriented tasks. THE ORIGINAL IDEA WAS NOT TO MAINTAIN THIS MSG-BOARD AS AN END-ACTIVITY, BUT AS A MEANS TO ACHIEVE THE END OBJECTIVE OF "MAKING CHENNAI A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN".
It is my considered opinion that public conciousness among net-savvy Chennaiites is limited mostly to sharing ideas, suggestions, hopes and frustrations. In the Internet scene in India, the urge to share news and views is more pronounced than the urge to join hands, be change agents and make personal contribution of time and work. Ironically, there is a peculiar "feel-good-factor" that the internet oozes out that makes people post msgs just to derive a "communication-pleasure". The urge to post a msg (that is very relevant, meaningful and requiring urgent attention) and get responses from the rest of group overtakes the urge to respond to the issue.
Given this scenario, I think I may not be able to run this msg board any more in the same fashion how it is being run all these days. But I am very happy that I met some of the best service-minded people. I would like to continue to keep in touch with people, who would like to engage themselves PERSONALLY in service-oriented tasks to "make Chennai a better place to live in".
Some of you have sent your msgs or mails to me personally and I am responding to them separately.
YES, WE CARE FOR CHENNAI MSG BOARD IS ON A SHUT-DOWN MODE. I really don't have the time and patience to carry on a 100% virtual activity. I will post a thanks msg in a few days from now to everybody who contributed for the good of this Msg Board.
Cheers!
