k is the magic word

what's the deal with all these k serials?
are we supposed to buy the argument that this world exists only in black and white?
either its the good bahu or the bad vamp. choose your pick.
i mean the lady has hijacked all meaning and essence of the term 'cliched'. she is soooooo predictable that its almost demeaning to the sensibilities of any average viewer.

but boss mannana padega all the auntys and the likes are truly hooked onto her 'creative produces' (which are just plain simple too many even in terms of number of them on air at a time)...i remember when gujrat was rocked by an earthquake few years back...the ladies in the rehab. camps made sure that they were provided with tv sets in their camps because they did not want to miss out on whatever happened to mihir after he went missing (or something like that).....vaise on the flip side it was not a bad way to partially deal with great stress those families must have gone through during that time.

so this is what sells or is it the only category available? are we being offered any reall choices here? wohi ghise pite actors and wohi ghise pite plots..isse zyaada na soch sakten hain na de sakten hain.....hackneyed and booorring.
aur haan...not to forget the stream of ultra 'dharmic' serials on weekends are there to resolve ones moral issues which may have crept in the week of watching k serials....you know with all that bitching and all .....its not a bad idea....balance maintained rehta hai!!! sabb chalta hai.......

i ve always enjoyed the dharmic serials though, they are so fun to watch.

remember the mahabharata, or krishna leela?
it use to come on sunday morning when we were kids. and it use to be fun.

arre haan! but that was another generation of tele serials you are talking about. they were a league apart..infact chanakya was great too and so were buniyaad and humm log, tamas, pachppan khambe laal diwarren, kashish....and not to forget vikram baital and stories of pancha tantra....
hmmm..sweet memories.....summer vacations...comics....chitrahaar...
