Yeah ,its their choice !!

We will give a list of colors . They have to read a book according to the color !!

Karolina Kat (karolina_kat) | 144 comments Sounds cool to me, I always have problems with picking up the next book to read - colour seems as good a choice as other criteria ;)

Please do :)

Jarvis I saw this in some other group so I thought of trying it here too.
So, it is to know more about GR friends and only for fun :)

Every month, we will put a polls and nominate 3 people, the members will vote for the person they want to ask question.
For example if Arpit (Couldn't think of anyone else) :P wins the polls, we will ask him some questions to know more about him. There can be serious meaningful questions and people like me can ask some crazy and funny questions. :P
Of course if Arpit doesn't want to answer a particular question, he can skip it :P

Sorry Arpit. Just messing with you :P
So? :P

Good concept, Gehna.*applause*
Just asking- Is there any limit for skipping the questions? The maximum? And what if one decides not to answer a single one?
And what if questions are personal?
And Questioning whole month?? Make it a week.

And well, you can use my name here. I FORGIVE you, KANYA :P
And I'm sure you'll be the first 'person-of-the-week/month':p so be ready for some weird question adventure.


message 108: by Jarvis (last edited Feb 13, 2016 07:54PM) (new)

Jarvis I won't like Arpit to skip too many questions but if the questions get to personal or are about something he doesn't wanna talk or share then he gets the liberty to skip them :) :P
Do you think the other esteemed member will let Arpit in peace if he decides not to answer a single question? :P
But still, too personal, skip them :P
Though I will encourage to You to answer if possible :)
I guess, the former part of the month will be for questioning and in the latter Arpit can answer the questions, or he can do it simultaneously :P A week is too small, I am lazy I won't be able to form questions in a week (only).

I won't be the first person, alright. We will see -_-

Pranjali | 767 comments @ Gehna- I like the idea, its very intresting but how will the nomination process works?
If we nominate pepole the same way we do for botm, then its possible that the lesser active members wouldnt get the chance? I am a little confused about this.


message 110: by Jarvis (last edited Feb 13, 2016 10:58PM) (new)

Jarvis I was thinking that I will randomly put three names of the active members but I will also allow write in answers so that if a person wants to nominate himself or anyone else, he can nominate that person too.


message 111: by Jarvis (new)

Jarvis Alright! Let others also approve it and I will post the first 3 names :P

Gehna wrote: "Alright! Let others also approve it and I will post the first 3 names :P"

And the first three names are....Ann, Jen and Gen (the powerpuff girls).
Of course Mod first.
We want to know about our mods. (Guys support me.)
So I think we should start with our mods first and then we will follow 'Ladies First' rule?? Okay??


message 113: by Jarvis (new)

Jarvis Kuch bhi na. As a mod I will nominate active members.

Now don't mess with me or I'll put your name 8-)

That's monarchy. She is directly threatening you (Tanashahi nahi chalegi.)
But don't fear, Manasa. We are with you.
Manasa, stand up for your rights. Don't give up easily.
She is the President Snow and you are the Katniss.
Be a Badass B-)


message 115: by Jarvis (new)

Jarvis It won't be fun if you already know who will be on the polls. And you can nominate others too! I will keep the polls with write in answers :)


message 116: by Jarvis (last edited Feb 14, 2016 03:16AM) (new)

Jarvis Arpit, don't mess with me! The consequences would be really bad. *takes out a wand*
Manasa will take my side, she is my buddy :P

Hai na, Misty? ^_^

Yes, she's your buddy....but she will stand for the right thing. Friendship is another thing, but Justice is more important.
See you in the battlefield, Ginny.

message 130: by Jarvis (last edited Feb 18, 2016 08:13AM) (new)

Jarvis Ann, I would love to swap but 1.) I need my parents permission as 2.) they don't know you exactly and 3.) I don't think you will like my read-owned books :|
