How I became a C-sharpcorner addict.
"Addiction is the continued repetition of a behavior despite adverse consequences, or a neurological impairment leading to such behaviors.": Wikipedia
Generally, the word "addiction" is used in a negative manner. But I have a different opinion here and you may agree with me after reading this article.
My first interface with C-sharpcorner
I was introduced to c-sharpcorner via Twitter when I saw a retweet regarding the c-sharpcorner conference held this year in NCR. I was curious to attend that conference and it was a day worth spent there. There, I met Mahesh, Dhananjay and many other motivating speakers. Hence, I started following c-sharpcorner at Twitter. But I was still a visitor there.
Second interaction with Mahesh Chand at last NCR chapter
Being an IT professional for more than 9 years, I was rarely contributing back to this vast industry unless I met Mahesh who motivated me to write blogs and articles.
My first blog at C-sharpcorner
I was delighted to see my first ever blog on the home page of C-sharpcorner. This motivated me to continue my sharing and learning through this platform.
Answers section
Then, I encountered with the Q&A section, where people resolved their queries. I started replying to their questions while researching the topics. I feel by answering other queries you move out of silos and try to solve various problems. Moreover, I realized that every accepted response motivates you while getting into a technical conversation with the people in the forums.
Daily reading habit
Apart from the answer section, I started reading blogs at c-sharpcorner that is useful and worth reading. And, I must say, it is a single-stop shop to keep you updated on technology.
Addiction for C-sharpcorner
C-sharpcorner is the only website of my choice that I look for after opening a browser. I've setup C-sharpcorner as the default startup page in the Chrome browser. This is my addiction, that I am following diligently.
Looking forward to your feedback and comments on this article.

DJ, I'll try to live upto expectations!
Guest UserPosted Jul 24, 2014, 11:11 PM
Ya, Mahesh I agree it is all about giving back to community. Although I realized it late in my career.
Guest UserPosted Jul 24, 2014, 11:05 PM
Thanks All for your comments! I appreciate your time reading my article!
Mahesh ChandPosted Jul 24, 2014, 1:47 PM
I like what Sam said, its passion. Addiction is usually for bad things .. for good things, its passion :).
Sam HobbsPosted Jul 24, 2014, 1:41 PM
When you say NCR, do you mean the corporation formerly known as National Cash Register?
Sam HobbsPosted Jul 24, 2014, 1:35 PM
Did the c-sharpcorner conference actually have a significant influence? Imagine how much of an influence a c-sharpcorner conference in the USA would have for people in the USA.
Sam HobbsPosted Jul 24, 2014, 1:33 PM
Instead of calling it an addiction, I think it would be better to call it a passion. The words "passionate" and "passion" have already been used in the comments here.
Mahesh ChandPosted Jul 24, 2014, 12:43 PM
To be good at something, you must be addicted to that.
Mahesh ChandPosted Jul 24, 2014, 11:07 AM
Sumit, love your passion and attachment with the community and contributions. Love the note about daily reading habit. I personally give advice to people what have worked for me, what has helped me and that is all. Now some learn from it and some ignore. Fortunately, we got you and I am sure you're impacting hundreds already, both online and offline. In the end, it is all about giving back to community, and feeling good about it. Cheers!

How I become C-Sharpcorner Addict? Let me rephrase your sentence here with your permission "Why I shouldbecome C-Sharpcorner Addict? - Answer is you are passionate about technology and believe in that real happiness comes through knowledge sharing and learn many things about living legends.!!

Very nice @Sumit Sir...:)
Mohammad KhalidPosted Jul 24, 2014, 3:03 AM
Its really good to know that you too are doing the same as I do. It was very unfortunate that I was not able to meet Mahesh. C-sharpcorner is the best resource to upgrade your knowledge.
