Shooting Stars

I'm sure this little piece of writing will strike a chord with anyone who is sloppy,lethargic and doesn't mind wasting some time in front of the infamous "idiot box."
i mean what the bloody hell !!! whats wrong with the Hindi television industry?? why the hell would they expect smart, educated, working women to watch the crap they dish out monotonously day in n day out!
i mean wot do they think... we watch these mind numbingly boring make -believe sagas and feel the pain n connect with the foundation coated protagonist?? well we've got news for you cheap three piece suited pimp like producers n directors, sitting in your air conditioned dingy offices...with sly blinds screening twinkys on musty sofas...WE DON'T GIVE A SODDING SHIT!!!!
when it all started some 8-10 years ago with Tulsi holding the torch for women across the country, it was a welcome change. then came her poor cousin version Parvati with the same issues n solutions minus the zing....coz tulsi had already beaten her to it!!! but still we sympathised when the quintessential good boy mihir died.... we felt horrid when we found out what a bitch pallavi turned out to be....and we also felt bad for kumkum(a much poorer version) for the loss of her few episodes old husband.
but then the bombarding started, with the monday to thursday routine...everyday, day in and day out,month after month, year after year, and with no intention of ever stopping!!
i refuse to get into the details of their "K" starting names, their identical plots n often the identical actors....c'mon man give us all a break!! the cause of the nosedive of Hindi television is the commercially viable and (i wonder how) profitable Monday to Friday routine. i mean the kind of pressure on the poor ill fed writer (probably a guy)to churn out problems faced by an ideal Indian married woman......no wonder the writer's imagination gives up and the brain commits suicide!!! this may explain the open plagiarism of plots and resulting in the repetitive soaps. the channel might change, but the story never does.
in this day and age we are faced with a monster called "jassi jaise koi nahi"(thank god there aren't anymore crawling about). i mean really now, who believes such crap! a 21st century girl living in a metropolitan like mumbai (and it gets better) working in a fashion house...will wear long ill-fitted warden looking shalwar kurtas, accessorising with 1930s barrister glasses! oh n not to forget those thick black (oh so out) fringes,and armoured teeth! the fashion police must have been in the lock up itself..to have let this kind of faux pas to pass! people often believe jassi to be the "missing link" from the evolution chart.
well the situation is not completely hopeless...when bollywood started copying Hollywood films...it took them time. there is still hope for the television industry thus. they've started copying "who wants to be a millionaire","weakest link","big brother" and many more. it will take about a hundred years for the Indian television industry to meet the standards of international television,but atleast our grandchildren will have a better world to live in!
and dont get me started on the award functions!!! rewarding "stars" for their hamming, zooming in and out of the frame with earth shattering background music is hardly acting! infact who says they're stars at all... at best they're asteroids!! with a dime a dozen teenagers pretending to be thrice their age playing moms to grown men.....if i ever bump into one i'd hardly lift up my head, leave alone recognise them. id do what i generally do, bad mouth them and move on!!!
