I feel that such jokes are more appropriate for the 70s bollywood...not anymore...times have changed but Bollywood seems to be stagnating and now tellywood seems to follow suit.

Infact, I remember that most of the 70s movies were manuf. in Chennai but still they seem to be quite stupid ( for want of a more appropriate word I'm using this word) in their protrayal...Once a joke is fine but going overboard with this shows they have outrun their imagination(writer's block)

👍🏼 Do we get to come across an action sequence in any of your stories anytime soon?
Do you have a collection, any favorites?

You like action? Hmm, good idea. I just might include one. Woh kehte hain na, agar story ki demand hui toh zaroor hoga. 😆

Not one particular favorite all superheroes and their stories are more or less the same. But I do have a favorite villain. Loki from Marvel comics. 😆

Buddies ... I have a question for you ... there is this show Yeh hai Mohabatein(dont ask me to talk about it b'cos I dont watch it 😉 😆) where the protagonists are from North and South respectively.

My question is do you guys see such differences (not about caste/creed) I mean is there such marked distinction in behaviour patterns that show that they are North or South 😕 bcos I'm totally South and my North Indian friends are all born and brought up here, so except for their communal patterns I dont see much behaviour patterns being different.As for my BIL he is a South brought up totally in the North and still I dont see any such distinct behaviour patterns. 😕

Am I making sense ??

Amu behen stereotypes aur kya. Like Jokes on Sardaars, jokes on South Indian accent, etc. I am a complete North Indian, actually I have never been to South. Never seen world south of Gujarat but I will have to say one thing about many (not all) North Indians. They are the biggest racists out there. 😆

I have had south Indian friends, one of my closest friend from school is a Mallu and honestly apart from a few customs, mother tongue, way of making daal I found absolutely no difference. And itna difference toh exists between every Indian state. Ours is a vast vast culture. Kashmir is different from Rajasthan, Rajasthan is different from Goa, Goa from Bengal. What divides North and South are merely prejudices stemming from ignorance and rigid stereotypes.

Well Ria and Yashi are a pair so i m enjoying ...aaj off hai kya???

Hi M di,

Oh good, not bad. Glad all is fine, and kids are keeping you on your toes. Once they go off to college these would be days you would reminisce.

Yup they do have a way with their dialogues/one-liners.

Well off hai, and I am planning to find an alternate job as well.

Oh yes, bachpan se like action. Thanks to Dragon Ball series, Swat Cats, Birdman, Space Ghost, The Atom Ant Show, Captain Planet, Hercules (on DD) Animax etc.. Well, I am sure the Jyotisch ji wouldn't turn out to be Oliver in just a few chapters, it would take some really creative thinking.😆

He he, True superheroes are interesting, villains make it exciting. 😆

Hi Amu,

Well being a Punjabi raised in South has its advantages, we get to eat with hand rather than a chamach and of course the linguistic skills are something we get to boast about in the resume. 😆

India has progressed, now hardly anyone notices any differences in terms of culture too. Traditional brahim families are willing to include a Sangeet, Mehendi function, so it is really the hype that is created. People are changing, adapting, bridges are being narrowed by cinema's contribution.

The mindset is the matter of concern. Where and how the person is raised makes a difference. But with a show depicting things just for viewership and if the people take it in the sense that is meant to be shown in, it could work, but if it persists it can be deduced as regionalism(like racialism), like you mention.

The jokes, over acting (sometimes) can be irritating. The maker of the show should be aware ,do the necessary research before going ahead with the project, given it can offend viewers too, leading to the decline/downfall.

Jovial one-liners, making fun of a group/caste isn't unavoidable, but then if it becomes our part of daily lives, doesn't indicate that we have developed as a nation really! The outcome is simple - hatred in the long run.

Behavior patterns - Yup like Ria suggests in terms of slight differences, things are evident and shouldn't be a barrier or factor to determine friendship. In general, I feel it impacts the personality, even without your knowing, but then we all change based on the surrounding to make our lives comfortable.
