Hindi Serial stories real life inspired?? (Page 2)

Preets earlier there were many serials which were quite close to life…such as Hum log and Tamash(am not sure whether the name is correct)….they were quite a hit at that time…all ekta's show is soo much depressing that I don't now what type of entertainment ppl (including my mom and sometimes me too)  get by watching those show…Karan Johar's movies are absurd too but they are not depressing and most of the time don't get on our nerves

Tamas is one of the best TV serials to hit Indian television, there have been movie's on India-Pak partition before and after it, but none came close to the quality of Tamas

There is a scene in there where someone points a rifle at Om Puri's character, I have never seen anyone enact a scene that good ever

Ah the good old days of DD.

And about the K crap that gets dished out everyday, here's one from my  blog.Tis an old one written about an year ago, but the soapy world still doesn't surprise me.

The Thinks that Kekta Thinks

(Based on Dr.Seuss' The Thinks You Can Think)

Kekta can think up some good stories, that's what she can do.
Then she puts in her twists and turns, and she turns them into strange weirdoes.
She can think up her titles to start with the letter K
That letter will bring her success that's what Sunita Menon has to say.now now...how many times has she been right?!

Oh the plots that she thinks up with 5 marriages and 10 divorces. lol i cracked up on this...
If that does not work, then her twists take the soap on a different course.
To save money, the same artist in several serials does she employ!
To top it off she kills the characters if they turn into naughty boys.

She draws up long contracts so that her actors don't run away.
After all, who can tolerate her idiosyncrasies night and day!
She thinks about how her soaps should cater to middle class.
Is ghisi piti morality par akhir kise hoga vishwas?

She thinks of plots, which involve stupid kitchen politics
Of who can cook the better biryani? Or who has a better sense of ethics?
She thinks of her casts as rich middle-aged house wives.
Who don't have a brain to do something meaningful with their lives.

The women folk in her soaps are laden with expensive jewelry.
They also wear designer saris in their kitchen cooking chicken curry. all of her shows!!! every single one...man!!!!
And when they are finished cooking their husband's favorite baingan bharta
They poison their husband's minds when he is back home changing into his kurta.

When she wanted Balaji to go beyond the viewers of Viranis and Agarwals
She thinked up love stories for young folks like that of Kashish and Sujal Garewal.
These soaps have different twist, which involves intense love and jealousies
Which involves rapes, betrayals and murders-Oh why can't Kekta leave her legacy? now i wonder if half the housewives in india or worldwide can surwive this?

Now she has thought up some new thinks that will cater to different audience
But please call them Candy Floss and Crimson Skies-me tired of this K nonsense.
Her first soap called "Hum Paanch" did not have to start with the letter K..somebody send her this poem
Maybe that's why it was a hit-Kekta should think about it some day.
