OK, I had to share this with you guys because it made me laugh so much. A couple of days ago I put the following status up on FB:
Desi dramas have 3 story lines - saas-bahu (mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts), with either a bitchy bahu or a supersacrificial one, the infamous love triangle: guy likes girl, and she is going to be married off to another guy she does not love, and the 40 year old geezer in love with 17-20 year old girl. Do they just have one writer that writes all these shows? My cat and I could do a better job.
The response that caught my attention was from my very Americanized cousin whose mother is very into desi dramas. His wife his Irish-Canadian and his kids don't know a word of hindi. Here's his response that caused to die laughing:
40 year old man (OLD), marries 20 year old (BABE). He's rich, she's shallow.
OLD has a daughter, who is also around 20, (GIRL), hates BABE, her new step-mother. ...
GIRL is dating BABE's ex, Good Looking Indian Guy (GLIG), who still has feeling for BABE.
GLIG's Mom, (GMOM), hates GIRL, hates BABE, loves OLD.
4 hours, 15 songs later, OLD has been killed in a duel with GLIG, GLIG is in jail, GMOM has been killed by a runaway rickshaw, BABE is in jail for trying to kill GIRL, and GIRL starting her own sewing shop.
I call this masterpiece: RISHTAA
