At least you were a part of all that insanity as it happened on the forum - thereby justifying your forum addiction!!!! I joined just a few months BEFORE THE DARNED SHOW ended ...and I AM AS ADDICTED TO THIS FORUM AS YOU ARE... AND I AM NOT EVEN A TEENAGER.
It was a very VERY difficult realization for me ...understanding that a TV SHOW had brought me to my knees!!! Figuratively speaking, of course. How I used to laugh at my friends and family's addiction to TV shows. I used to be so condescending and sarcastic. And LOOK AT ME NOW! Why God why????
I me...Bhooma...actually cried when the show ended!!! Normally, I have the personality of a COW...I used to be sedate because it took up too much energy to get all emotional. Just check out the Exclamation marks and question marks on this post!
When the show ended, I cursed pretty much everybody associated with the show (even poor Laxmi the goat for some weird reason!!! Insane much??) with all the creativity of a fishmonger.
Devi maiyaa ki kasam, if I had found anybody that I believed had contributed to the fall of the show - I would have SRANGLED them and would have probably felt like Joan of Arc on meth.
For some strange reason, even today, when I am with my husband (not in THAT WAY!!!! Gutter minds!!!!)...I expect to hear Rabba Ve playing in the background.
And every time I watch 'Teri Meri' on TV, I wonder where Arnav and Khushi are and what on EARTH Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor doing on the screen!!!
Today, every time I am in trouble "Hai Devi Maiyaa" springs to mind...and sadly enough I seem to have developed an unfortunate tendency to yell "Hello Hi Bye Bye" - irrespective of where I am and with whom I am.
The darned show has RUINED me for any other show on Indian TV!! Nothing seems right anymore. There have been times when 8:00 PM saw me rushing to the TV and waiting for IPK to come on ...before realization hit me like a ton of bricks that it is all gone now.
And yet...for all this and more...I want to say 'Thank you'. 'Thank you' for all the times I laughed, all the times that I cried, all the times when I felt lonely and the Raizadhas and the Guptas were there to cheer me up, for all the inspiration that the show provided to the many writers - whose work now comfort me and hold me in thrall. For all this and more...THANK YOU!!!! Thank you team IPKKND(I do not care who are included in this. If you contributed in ANY way at all to this show...Thank you!!!)
Happy Second Anniversary, IPKKND.
