All Soaped Up :/

When the American soap companies decided to fund the shows in the early television days, no one would have ever thought how much of an impact would these “soap operas” have on the common households. Today these are the shows eating the weekday primetime meal with a major percentage of the population.
In our country these shows usually revolve around a fondant, sincere, religious and seraphic girl who is the perfect daughter in law. Actually these shows should come with a precautionary notice of “please, don’t try this at home” because if you try all that whining and nagging crap on “aaj ki naari”,I am pretty much sure you would not be reciprocated only with facial cues.These are also infesting people with all kinds of false hopes and expectations(“hamari bahu to tulsi jaisi hogi” , get a life people) and so much filled with social inaccuracies ,
Knowledge of more than one language is by theory considered advantageous but it can also go “vice”-versa in a quite tragicomical way as my mallu descent makes me vulnerable to the Malayalam soaps too, which are an assault on the senses, I dare you to find me a protagonist with a smile on her face in those, and they have a problem with almost anything right that is going around and do not want to lead a peaceful life and that is why they make people dig holes for them, deliberately fall into them and then act like a wounded li’l pup and blame the vamp, quite baffling !!and riddle me this, why wasting 200 mins of airtime in saying a mere “Yes”, when you have to tie the knot with him anyways, Kill me Now!!!!!
I have also heard people talking about a particular show which is “inspired” from Twilight, I mean come on, all that gooey stuff was not enough that you are trying to do a desi version of it,” desi sparkling vampire with erectile dysfunction” , yea that would be new!!
I miss the days when me and my sister used to discuss “the Beatles” and “Bob Dylan”, now the conversations take a minor detour every single time , screw you “Pavitra Rishta” I hold you responsible!!!

I personally think that these shows manage to get such a high viewership as the Indian housewife somewhere envisages her life to be as the pretty tv lass(trust me she is a skank), with all the drama and spice that is actually missing from their lives(no wonder Desperate Housewives was a hit in the States) , they try to seek escape by indulging in these characters and they actually connect to the Indian households but we(the adolescent beings) are the real victims and it’s my humble request, please , please “Spare us the Horror” .
P.S- These soaps are highly infectious, I have lost a many of my beloved friends to these “grey matter thirsty” products of the idiot box,
So Beware!!! :/
