Before you suspect, I assure you that I do NOT watch any SAAS BAHU melodramas. What I am about to state comes from a very miserable experience from a long time ago when I was mislead into believing that my favourite soap was indeed going somewhere. Well, that was eons ago; I am a much smarter soul now. I have learned my lesson. The lesson being that in a soap, particularly if it is one churned out by the factory run by a certain jumpin jack offspring, anything is possible. So here goes…
*Anyone can be/get married to anyone, regardless of their relation, past/present
*Anyone could be the father of any child (born or otherwise), regardless of age, distance, relation, and so on
*Divorces are a part of life, similar to performing the morning ablutions in one’s daily routine.
*Death, is just a distraction, no one actually dies and can be weaved back into the plot as and when required
*Last but not least…there ARE NO RULES to writing for television

Also, recap is a very important part of every episode, taking almost half of the time.
Umm..no actually. I have been away from TV for the past 3-4 years, largely due to the fact that I stay in a hostel. But nevertheless, whenever I go home once in 4 months I see that the story hasn't progressed at all. :)
I was subjected to these stupid Saas-bahu sagas when I was in Hyderabad, and my dad used to be glued to the TV watching all the actors bawl their eyes out! But now that I'm in Bombay, I'm blissfully unaware of all these idiotic soaps. Of course I had not contended for my grandma's passion for the afternoon soaps!! But thankfully I'm almost never at home in the afternoons!! :D
Luckily no one in my house is addicted to these endless, mind-numbing sagas. Wait, let me tell you guys what I DO like to watch on tv. MUST SEE's include Friends, can't live without them now. Desperate housewives, when I don't forget. OC, if I come across it. And a little bit of Sony. There is one channel I simply DO NOT TOUCH...STAR PLUS. Not surprising eh :)
Hey! I like FRIENDS, Desperate Housewives and The OC too!! Am a total Star World addict!!! :D
