I came to know about CD website last year in August. Had I known about this site before I landed in Toronto, I would have taken all the info that I needed from here. But since I have come to know about this website, I am visiting it regularly and posting my thoughts every now and then.

Ditto dfwrp ... I found CD while searching for all things desi!

I found CD last April when I was searching for a sample letter to sponsor my parents for their visitor visa (I got thru Google, I think).
From then on, got hooked to darn site.

I came to know about this site from a friend. Initially he told me to read only the sucess stories.
Ofcourse I didnt follow his advice, & became a regular reader of all the discussions. Now m a member. This is a great site.

In a nutshell, I attended a seminar by a guest lecturer on campus who happened to be a former contributor of CD and he told me about it. I didn't visit the site then. However, later I was employed by a newspaper as standby at Scotiabank to sound alarm bells should anything interesting crop up in RCMP's investigation of the fiasco of a leading company. There I ran into a couple more Desis who are also former contributors and that's when I eyeballed this site and finally decided to join.
As a matter of fact, these former contributors are such veterans, they told me that nothing would come out of the attempt to round up people from Mumbai. I even suggested a couple of places to meet on that thread but there were no takers.
Out of interest though, there are more than 16,000 members, yet only a handful contribute. How come? I joined as member 16020. Since then many hundreds have joined but I don't see that many new names contributing.
