Writing a blog would be the best way to confess what I have been doing for the past one week. Okay if you are gonna rush into unnecessary conclusions then I hate to break it to you “this is not what you were even remotely thinking of”.
So here’s what I have been doing—watching saas-bahu (using it because it’s a generic term) and other melodramatic TV series. A more shocking way to put this would be that “I have gotten addicted to the saas-bahu sagas”. Yeah sure roll your eyes, nod in disagreement but it has happened.
Not that I have nothing good to do in life, I’m sill employed, I still very much a voracious reader, this is just a new addition to my free-time. It’s mostly Saturday afternoons that I watch them and I even have a favorite—“Maan ki awaj Pratigya”. One may wonder why this one, lemme clear out one thing this isn’t your usual saas-bahu melodrama nor is it a serial-killer.
The characters in this series are real and the scenes too. Pratigya is an educated no-nonsense kind of girl who marries a wealthy yet uneducated boy. It’s not a love marriage but an arranged one. She’s not the one who sheds tears at the drop of the hat but is bold enough not to consummate her marriage as she doesn’t love the guy (who btw is madly in love with her and stands by her all the time), not change her name just because the in-laws demand her to do so.
The other shows on my EQ are Balika Vadhu, Saat Phere and Uttaran. I’m sure most of you lost me at the end of the first paragraph and those who diligently continued reading for the love of me will recommend some therapy or alternative EQ options.
Honestly, no offence, but I don’t care…I suddenly believe that life has reached a crazy point where a girl who couldn’t bear to look at those overly embellished women; who’s life would be all about what’s happening on Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives, F.R.I.E.N.D.S and all other on Star World, Movies and HBO has suddenly taken a 360 degree turn to her catharsis.
Why, Who, what, how I reached here I don’t know, I wasn’t even aware until yesterday when it was like somebody woke me from my sleep and said “Hello…Watcha doin?” there was no answer from my side just a scream that said OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
