Indian TV Series & The Subsequent Disappointment
Indian viewers and daily soaps are like the hand and glove combination, inseparable and unavoidable. The remote for others in their family is an inaccessible object till their quota for the day isn't over and even when they've exhausted the zillionth atom of each of these daily soaps, they would retire for the day exclaiming, "Na, it's bed time!" That sigh in their voice is like the ultimate favor that they do while handling you the remote, when you can barely open your eyes!
And these daily soaps feed on controversies, estrangements, multiple marriages (I mean, 1.4 billion people are either struggling to get out of it or trying to get into it...at least once, and here, the protagonists don't spare any opportunity to marry their own/borrowed/neighbor's wife/girlfriend/fiancée; perhaps they would soon start harping on same sex marriages or even something that I learnt today, "sologamy", celebrating self love, self compassion) or even bereavements, well, there should be some deliberate sabotage of certain characters, for they incessantly test our patience or get on our nerves with their hideous make up and unapologetic prosthetics!
These soaps would never adhere to protocols for instance, you know you aren't permitted to do something but you end up doing it unabashedly...for the nth time! Next, none of the characters would invest an iota of a second in reading around the dotted lines before signing them, for which they would bite the dust and eventually end up impersonating the "rags to riches" story, just in reverse!
You know you are fallacious in your actions when you make some impertinent questions while your mother is still watching one of these obnoxiously designed soaps that run from generations to generations, sometimes making you wonder these were conceived in the dinosaur era.
And these directors/production houses are unapologetically procreating such horrendous stuffs that are thrown onto the face of the audience who lap it up as if it's their manna of the decade!
Some of these shows run for 8+years, which only makes you wonder wish some of our relationships were that strong.
Besides, there are these crime shows that make you suspect every individual you encounter even for a fraction of a second.
Such shows are crippling the last drop of humanism that's left in all of us, for they should be banned else the day isn't far when all of us revert to the first stage of our human evolution!
