Forwards March

 Sounds like a marching order, but it's not. It's about forwards and forwarding things virtually.

I am part of a growing tribe of Forwarders- in my case, of jokes, or memes most of the time. Sometimes, a challenge too- strictly, not a forward, but a chain-like thing you perpetuate, like a species. Like the 10-year challenge, and so on. (there's a pati-patni challenge, but not a PP aur Woh challenge as far as I know)

Well, WhasApp forwards are a totally different ballgame..not sure who are the game designers, but many of these are in bad taste, inaccurate, inflammatory, unresearched, fake or all of the above. Mostly, what tears WA groups apart are the political posts from someone, leading to a war of words, and withdrawal of a few offended folks on either side. The original purpose of the group formation gets forgotten/sidelined.

WhatsApp groups can also quickly run out of steam or fizzle out, unless backed by physical meetings with group members.
