'In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king'

My main grouse over the way things are unfolding is that all but one of the characters have been purposely stripped of any moral fiber or reasoning just so that a sole portrayal will stand out as exemplary and just.

There is no point in oohing and aahing over the said portrayal as it is like a race between a fully able bodied person and a paraplegic no great honor in victory and a matter of shame

Absolutely no glory when you ensure integrity for a sole character to get all the praises and hosannas at the cost of diminishing decimating denigrating all the others around it

Think of a race between Usain Bolt and an Insane Dolt- makes you wince doesn't it?

The Late Michael Clarke Duncan starred in a movie adaptation of a novel by Stephen King called the The Green Mile It also starred Oscar winner Tom Hanks Academy nominee James Cromwell multi Emmy nominee David Morse etc

Only one performance was nominated as stellar among the distinguished cast for the Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars for playing the role of John Coffey- yes Michael Clarke Duncan

That is what constitutes to me at least as fair play and a level playing field where the talent of all comes into play for fair appraisal and scrutiny and it is up to each actor to perform to potential and allow us to judge fairly without having custom made tracks dialogues scenes and degrading the intrinsic nature of the other characters to make them shine

Stand out performances will then have true meaning
But then silly me it's a soap and the androgynous Bahu has to shine

PS: Why chikni Chamelis?

Welcome Juhiji! You are as disarming as your handle 😊.

Why the mod note: Sigh. Kabhi fursat mein batayenge.

Just finished reading the interview of one of the writers for IPK (not Gautam Hegde).

It was interesting that when it was pointed out that all the shows for which he was a writer - Kusum, Kasauti, Police Files, Pali Hill, Savdhan India, Zindagi Kay, IPKKND, etc. - started off rather well but then lost the plot thereafter, he becomes defensive and the only example he can offer is 'kasauti', which, according to him, did well later, too.
He does make it a point to say that stories lose steam after 400 episodes.

Bleh. I read it. Whatay lame. To be fair though...no one can come up with 400 awesome episodes in a year and a half..which is about what it takes. But I am afraid. Very afraid. I have nightmares of face transplants and a vamp who kept saying Nikaaah! The horror!

Nicely logicated. Unfortunatey, there is a problem. It is logicated. I know logicated is not a word...but neither is What the a complete phrase! 😊
