TV Serials....

Sleep is one of the most popular way to kill time and the other way is watching Indian TV serials...they not only kill time but have ability to kill a person !!!!!!!!!!

While watching one of the serial, I noticed for about  5 mints none of the actors (do these so-called "actors" know acting?????) uttered a single word. Only I could hear was the horrible background music. Everything was stagnated,the only moving object was -camera. Camera was on the face of one actor, n then turned to second actor, obviously, it could not leave the third one. After taking round, the angle of camera changed , what I could see was the side view of those actors...so once again on screen faces of actors were flashing. Finally, after about 5 mints, one of the actor came out of vow of silence and spoke first dialogue of that day in serial...those unforgettable words were-"KYA KHAHA??".But kisko kisne kya kaha....it was a mystery.Ho sakta hai..in previous episode of the serial (which I missed) someone had said something and this kya kaha was in reference to that only. I waited anxiously for the next dialogue but…….. Alsh! There was a break.............

Ahhhhh....... break it took me out form the monotonous background music, on my screen I saw Shaharuk Khan endorsing "mardo wali FAIR AND LOVELY cream", Amithab Bachhan saying-"lagaiye NAVRATAN tel", Kareena Kapoor dancing and singing on "phate gaal wale BOROPLUS laga le."

Break gives us sufficient time to check SMS or to serve food or do some chota mota work.

Anyways....after break I again fixed my eyes on TV screen with a hope of few dialogue n something interesting in serial. Suddenly  the background music stopped ,my heart missed a beat as I thought that any actor of the serial would come out of the killing "moun vrat".To my disappointment -nothing which I envisaged happen, no dialogue, no change in facial expressions of artist, even camera also refused to move and change angle. I explained myself-may be......... on the shooting of that episode the dialogue script was stolen by one of the die heart fan of the serial...or may be frustrated producer of the serial torned it into pieces...and thus the director of the serial directed actors to just stand in front of camera.

That scene left me with baffled, I found myself gritting my teeth! 

The next scene was of fully furnished Hi Tec kitchen, where 3 beautiful actresses were in  heavy dresses, jewelry and make up(including granny of the serial). They were preparing food, or rather I would say rotating spoon in kadhai.(serials mi sara khana chamach hilate huve hi ban jata h) . The actresses were living example of matching center-it was really irritating (one must follow serials to know what NOT to wear). The granny in the serial wore a white silk sari (with kundan work on it),pearl set, what captured my attention was the strip of white hair, granny's(according to serial her age was 60+) hair was jet black ,n there was only A strip of white hair !! No doubt the make up of other 2 ladies was spectacular,it  hardly matter that they were working in kitchen. Actually, the director of the serial wants to convey a simple msg-"Remain well dress, irrespective to the work u are doing .Remember, no work is big or small." (So next time if ur maid is on leave and u have to broom or to wash utensils, don’t neglect ur cloths and do proper make up). 

While cooking food they were only looking at each other n then after few mints I heard a line-"aap chaliye maaji,mai aur bahoo khana laga dete h"....... Oh My GOD !!!!! the lady pronounced more words than what I anticipated. I was contented ! Expecting more dialogue in the same episode was foolishness.

I decided not to punish my self more, so I switched off the TV.

I develop a high sense respect for all those who regularly watch such serials; they definitely must have a lot of patience.

Just have a look at the name of some TV serials:-

* Sasural gandha phool
*Sajan re jhoonth mat bolo
*Ye pyar haye
*Bade acche lagte hai,ye dharti,ye amber,ye nadiya,aur tum...
*Is pyar ko mai kya naam doon

Well yes ! These titles r the lines form Hindi songs...may be in future we have titles of serials like:-

*Munni badnam hui
*Shadi ban gai umar kaid ki saza
*Tujhe bhoola diya
*Dhinchak dhinchak a, a,a, re, re, re.

Enjoy Indian TV serials :)
