and after today the story goes-

Ding dong

the mirrors go bing bong

Sadhvi goes sing song

for a lady to wear a red thong!

The mirrors smash Bang! Bang!

as the couple goes ding dang

and ghost somewhere shows his fing fang

and temple bells ring rang.

And so the cuckoo sings a song

of a love that went terribly wrong

while the couple may ding and dong

in front of a stupified throng!

******JUST IN JEST**********

As much as I love reading your pieces, your pain is very much apparent on what's being dished out in the name of entertainment. That the thriller aspect was negligible was always felt but to see that love being trivialized nay vulgarized is beyond disgusting. I thought only the VFX was poor, turns out that was just the tip of the iceberg. It's a cringeworthy show which caters only to the baser instincts in total disregard to the overall story. Molestation, assault, stalking and now flouting the most intimate relationships seems to be the very idiom of the show.

Please let go Beagle...the creatives of this show believes in cheap thrills where none of the characters seem to have any relevance. It's free for all

Btw your poem was as usual brilliant😳

This show has gone down the gutter

May time to quit

Your post is better than all the silly segments and news we are getting...not just the pace but the scenes are infuriating too...no logic nothing

Thank you!

😆The show is not much of a benchmark, is it?😳 Thank you for reading!

Happy New Year Indrani!!!! You hit the nail on the head really. There is a big distinction that has to be made between art and vulgarity, because I think many Indian film/TV serial makers fail to comprehend this. As much as it is painful to see such mediocre rubbish dished out in the name of entertainment, the more pertinant and scary issue is this obsession with sex. Is this really what the Indian society considers acceptable? I mean, take for instance the Chaha's sexual feelings for Sharanya. Was that necessary and in what way did it move the story forward? It was a completely unnecessary track which was introcuced to bring in a sexual perverted quotient. Similarly with the recent news of this mirror and sex in front of the mirrors (well it is that, and note that I make the distinction here between sex and love making) and the ghost, what is the purpose of such a convuluted set up? The ghost is around her 24x7. What was the need to bring this perveted track? And what does this actually make Sharanya? It is one thing to get married because a strange sadhvi asks you to and another thing all together to have sex because someone asks you to. What kind of a woman does this make her. I am fairly certain that at the end of all this nothing will really happen, but then my point again about forcing the sexual quotient into the whole plot. It scares me that if you can openly show such content on national tv, perhaps many Indian men do think of women as sexual objects or fantasise about sex more than they should - I mean look at the amount of sexual violence against women, girls and even infants in our country! Or perhaps I'm blowing the whole thing out of proportion and giving too much importance to the sexual fantasies of a perverted writer!

I prefer my serious peices to this. Will PM the last one I wrote:))
