hmmm .. i dont mind being called Bhai , uncle , chachoo, maamoo or even grand dad (by Colourful Eyes ) .. ok I know long times ago I started a thread about girls calling me bhai and my resistance (read that .. anger), but that was me then, this is me now ..
but still, there are people who dont like to be called by any title other than their nick .. especially some ladies dont like to be called Aunty () …
so when you pick a title for some one and start calling that person uncle, aunty whatever .. you do it out of respect or just to prove that you are so nunna munaa doodh peeta bachcha/bachchi and just crawled out of your crib into GS .. thus calling people uncle, aunty ..
well to me anyone with more then 10,000 post on GS is a dada or dadi- i think they deserve a lot of respect for their dedication to gupshup, so i call them dada or dadi. But if you prefer, i can call you nana.
Aik daffa main nay ghalati say goodnews ko auntie keh diya bass woh din aur aaj ka din main nay apni khala ko bhi auntie kehnay say tauba ker li.....uncle TLK
Calling people Bhai , baji , aunty and treating them ... two different things ... specially online , well i remember Dickens once said ' Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.'
