i mean , i have to grab a book or a mag..or really excuse myself when i'm sitting with frens watching tailored shows like voice of india,or any of those dance shows,or any reality show for that matter.....are we so gullible?
when wwf first came to telly in india ppl thought it was real..later on we termed it as kiddish when we hit the truth,ppl grew out of it.then came saaas bahu serials and ppl liked it,i can't believe now that even i was hooked to kyonki.. for a year...and then they started resurrectin mihir and i thought..wtf!!! and it went downwards from there.now reality show and talent show trends are catching on, serial actors play ram and ravan in same style...saas bahu style...what can you expect when balaji remakes ramayan....
so i turn to fantasy...aaand its the same cast there also, same prehistoric flashy costumes ,90's animation technique,overacting,loud predictable background score....my god!!! is indian telly going to sink in cesspit??
i'd rather watch lost or heroes(at least i get to see one token indian performing well there than the whole cast spewing vomit here).........
only a few serials can be termed as silver or gold....take office office for insatnce(though it is getting past its prime now), or the snippts we sometimes see in mtv...cyrus...flashes of rare inspiration....spoofs....
and i don't want to get started on our news channels.....that is another story, and considering thats real news,the fourth pillar we're talking about,it's a sad state of affairs for us indians.....
i know i rant too much ..............but cribbing is our birthright and i just do this to vent out my feelings.....so let it fall to deaf ears ; or none at all......................
