This is that other Khoda who is very active on the group!!
Anyway, jokes apart, any tool is as good as the use it is put in. If
members use the group to look for friends, it is going to reduce to a
shaadi.com without the shaadi.
When we bacame members, we got good friends, without asking, because
we got involved in the group.
Lets end this discussion here, and lets move on to some new topics now.
Khoda sa'ab how has the season been, you are fresh out of the apple
country, please enlighten the people on the group.
