Hola folks!
It's almost the end of November- the month where men (and some women) have an excuse to NOT shave, enthusiastic novel writers begin their journey into 50k novellas, Winter sets in everywhere except Australia (because they like being ornery) and Bombay (where this concept is non-existent). It's also the month when IPK died a somewhat undignified death last year.
But let's forget the illness that led to it's demise and focus on the good times.
There were Rabba Veys
There was an Arnavji
There was a Sanka Devi
Together they made a payal (anklets, not the sister) seem like a sex toy.
And there were a bunch of random (rather desperate if you ask me!) women who came together 'cos they watched the show and became good friends. They even had a name- THE CHAMELIS.
The Chamelis basically got together every day to enjoy (err...mock) the show relentlessly. Lekin us mocking mein pyaar chupa tha. We loved the show and so we made fun of it. And we had a lot of fun and made some good friends while doing so.
Some of us have stayed in touch. Some of us say hello occasionally on Twitter. Some of us have no idea what's going on with the other. I thought this would be a good time to say Hello to all my good friends here on IF and catch up. So- chameli, non-chameli, basher, drooler, tadka OS writer, res-er, non-unres-er, Sobtian (it's a state of mind- like coming home to Siyarams- no judging!), Iranian (you should be happy- your country did a good thing yesterday!), NK-fan, Talk to the hand lover, Di-baiter, Hai-re-Nandkisore-r, writer of fan fiction, hater of kostins, Dekhna hai toh dekho fan, 4Lions PR department who's reading this (yes, Gul Can!), wearer of blinding eye-shadow, and mostly just IPK FANS- HEYLOOO!
So, pop over, say hello. Tell me what've you been doing. If you graduated, did something amazing, got married, had a baby or 2, met Bhaiyya or Bhabhi, or went on the trip of a lifetime- share if you don't mind.
I'll start. I have not watched an Ismailvegamze video in ages. So, I'm obviously not in rehab anymore. I'm still very much in touch with some wonderful pals I made on the IPK forum. I didn't meet Bhaiyya. Or Bhabhi. And I watch Jodha Akbar. Because Akbar mumbles just like Bhaiyya used to. Makes me nostalgic when I can't understand a word the Hero is saying. I also moved across the world to a different continent, and took some much needed time off to smell the roses so to speak.
So, what was your year like? TUM THEEK HO? 😆
Also, there will be a few Chameli posts this week, so do check in and stay tuned. There will be plenty of funny stuff- 'cos these ladies have been holding it in for over a year! The floodgates shall be opened, so to speak! This is just an ice-breaker. Sharpen your trolling skills, ya!
Only one request- no discussion of Mr.Sobti's or Ms.Irani's other career ventures or personal lives please. No sniping at the cast and crew. Play nice. It's been a year after all.
Rabba Vey ladies!
