Smita ji... mea culpa... had I known that such strong emotions are attached to the show, that'd you'd insinuate me (I watched Mahajun* ka swayamvar? I only pretended to watch it...), I'd never have mentioned the show...😳😆

BTW, I watched Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin and enjoyed it while it was new. Once it became half a year old, I couldn't see the point of the stupidity that it became...

@Nitzy: I'd love to see a re-run of PB... heard a lot about it...

I quit JJKN after half a year too.
Do you know that is how IF was formed, because Vijay bhaiya was into JJKN.he used to post translations of the columbian ugly betty.
It became popular and IF was born.
It started out as a blog.

Really? Smita ji, you go so far back in time?! Wow...
I'd never have guessed that JJKN was the reason behind all the fun that I have here... 😆

I am in the US too,having moved around 6 times actually 7 times ,I have stopped buying books.Packing and unpacking is such a pain.
I still have my books in boxes.
And I love hard copies too,but I like to carry my books wherever I go, and hard copies are just not convenient ..plus I couldn't read them at work😉.
So I have decide I will only buy book s, when I have a library of my own and a home of my own..
So for now I go for audio books and ebooks.

I think all of us go through the zodiac phase.
I have read Linda goodman's books and cheiro's books on palmistry and numerology and used to lap up everything Bejan wrote 😳
I think all the good astrologers have died out or are in remote places in the world.
Did your research help you?

I love that picture Ekta ji posted. Well, we do have three votes for teen pyali chai. If Nitz ji decides to cast her vote, then we'll have a tie. But it would be unfair to those who have already started reading. RW ji has already started with the discussions, I see. It seems too dark for my taste, though, so I might not read this one either. Though, the use of expletives would have put me off it anyways, despite it being a good book.

Smita ji, congratulations on becoming a Goldie. I noticed it before I read Mohit ji's post because we seem to be sharing the 'colour'. Though, I don't like it much and can't wait to become a Dazzler. 😆 It seems we'll reach there sooner, now that we have this wonderful CC as an excuse. Though, most of my posts will be irrelevant, but as long as they help me increase my post count, it's all good. 😉😆😆😆

I can imagine... I'm never likely to be struck by such ideas, which is probably why I'll not make loads of money... 😳

Nitz ji... Himmat hai aap ki, you are going to be reading all the books. 😉😆 I told Mohit ji strictly before I joined, that I can't make committments to read, but I couldn't stay away from the wonderful company, so here I am. 😃😃

😆😆 Well, the only way that they helped me in was to blame my character faults on my zodiac sign. 😉😆😆

Oh, you all watched that show too. I remember it was such a hit with everyone in my family. Though, when they started dragging it, we did stop watching in between, but then again started watching later on. I did catch the ending. The only show that I did watch in it's entirety was Kutumb. 😆😆😆 I have passed that stage where I had the patience to watch these boring elements. I prefer a movie anyday now, because at least it can be watched in one sitting (or two sometimes), and I can forward anything that doesn't cater to my taste. 😳😆😆

Shhh... Saara discipline ruin kar diya aapne iss comment ke saath.
The book is amazing. Expletives are a part of our lives... people around us are using them all the time, so they ought to be there in books about such people too. Anything otherwise would be artificial.

Aladin ji, we're also grateful for the wonderful company! 🤗

You, and with a fault? Is that even a physical possibility??? 😕⭐️😆

It is from Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes... he has quite an opinion on the fairy tales... 😆😆😆

I watched JJKN because that was what was up on telly when we had dinner... It was fun to begin with... I quite liked it... The ugly girl, from humble means... making her mark with her intelligence and humility.
It started grating my my nerves when the girl failed to assert herself, and the love angle was brought in... and then it got more and more artificial...

I haven't even heard of Kutumb... sounds like a K-Ekta serial...

Have I scared everyone else away??
