did i land up in the wrong serial??? - Page 3

Kitchen politics is a must for TRPs. So we can skip, but we will get it.

similar thoughts.. don't see any respite from this in the near future. Trp's have picked up so with KKG our torture too continues... 😭

Its unbearable. It's like watching a Jatin Das or a Monet becoming a gali ka painting... torture...

I have no idea how to wean myself off.. I feel betrayed and angry and furious...

you are all so right.. it's just stupid. How can they do this to the viewers for some f^*((*&^% TRP ! O well. I guess they have no choices...

@ Nrp 77, just need to get some antidepressants and cut and run..

@ enchanted.. I have seen so many "traditional good boys" in my community who will do exactly that.. be the good son !! I am so mad I could throw something at someone... basically have the cake (get the girl) and eat it too (get mamma's apron strings tied for comfort thumb sucking as well - sorry but I am having a hissy fit at this point) 😡

@ Newbiesoapfan..totally agree. A strategic retreat is called for, pronto!!! totally disgusting.. to reduce such a beloved serial to this rubbish...😲

@ Telefan- unfortunately someone seems to have decided 1) they need to be king of TRP s never mind the cost 2) they have to have a twist in the tale that no one will have dreamt about, no matter how assinine...

@ Laddoo, I literally have not watched a single hindi serial in 20 years so I am feeling so angry that they start this so well and then they do this shit... btw, this whole saas bahu reminds me of actual people I have met who behave like this and its just traumatic because its not something they are making up. they are real people who behave like this.. and ugh, they are liked by everyone... the TRP s are driven by people who like to see humiliation, forgiveness and resignation vs. strength, positivity and serials like this just perpetuate the cycle.. so agree with you. disgusting, utterly and impossibly disgusting..

@Navbat, you said it.. I guess I might as well accept there is no such thing as a different Indian soap and just go back to big bang theory etc...

yeah man, a little progressiveness on the women front would do wonders! i had hopes when they showed khushi working in an office, but here toh even the guys seem to have taken a permanent holiday what do i expect from women :/

no not at all ,i think a little more patience is needed,hope wil be on track soon.

Rita...you are totally allowed to vent. You know what...I'll join you.

@ GayuArnav
ok. lets do it this way. you are loved by your family right? you do something wrong. What do they do? they scream at you they shout, they perhaps smack you.. if they are v angry. they tell you to stay away for a few hours, a few days... then they talk to you... They DO NOT TELL YOU you are abandoned or that you never were theirs in the first place. families DO NOT do that.
imagine you are adopted and you love your family. you consider them your own. One day you do something wrong, something that everyone knows is wrong. How do you feel when they drop you like a hot potato because you are no longer doing the right thing? Families dont say these things to each other, not if they really consider each other family

however, i will agree to disagree.

@ Dawnarhi
nothing wrong with changing into a saree because you want to. or because its a nice thing to do. Something wrong with changing into a saree just because you did a bunch of rituals. the rituals did not change your taste in clothes over night right? if you do a study of human behavior and symbols, you are basically stating you are no longer a girl. I personally dont think in the 21st century you need to demarcate your transition in such a drastic fashion. I get the point of wearing a sari in the sasural as a symbol of respect, although i personally feel that when rituals are mainstay of expressing your feelings, you have disasters striking.. instead of real respect that is independent of your manifestation / expression and actions of it.

however that is a debate for another day.
Regarding Hinduism, I teach Hindusim to kids. and trust me Chulaa Rasam is a rasam /ritual / cultural practice, not necessarily the definitive Hindu custom after marriage. There are many many aspects of Hinduism that are far more difficult to follow and complex such as those in the Upanishads or in the Samkya or the Mimamsa. Let's not simplify Hinduism to our Pots and pans and cooking as Vivekananda famously said. It would be easier if serial makers would get a little more creative and work harder to make a stroy intersting instead of resorting to the easiest ways to do this and instead perhaps use these opportunities to help people understand what these rituals are meant to be... a tool for us to be humane not auto mode actions after each activity.

just to clarify, I cooked for my in laws when i got married. Loved it. it was a ritual perhaps but I had no idea. I just enjoyed being part of the whole activity, making something for a new family that i loved, as much as I love mine and it was time to celebrate. As opposed to something that has to be done because you are married. that is what I am getting at , when i say meaningless enactment of rituals for the sake of them should not be glorified..
regarding your comment on calling her mom, mom... see above... I have a different definition of mom.. and I usually prefer a little more self -respect in my fictional and real characters.

apologies if I sound cranky.. its because I am...
