Stray thoughts as doomsday approaches

It seems that doomsday is not very far off. I guess we can and have accepted a lot, a possibility that JW did indeed sleep with Pia and is the father of her kid. But what we are expected to swallow now is something that will never be accepted. A marriage of either JW or Bani with anyone else (even if its JW-Sarlaben) is not acceptable. And even if at some future stage they decided to bring J-B back will it work. Will we (irrespective of whether we are Munna campers or Bani brigadiers) ever accept a Bani who has been married to another person in cold blood, whatever be her reasons and motives? Will we accept a JW who covets, seduces and marries another man's wife? No. Period.

And then we will move on. October 3,2006 did one thing for me, I haven't watched a single soap (Balaji or non-Balaji, other than KS) ever since that fateful day. Till that date, I used to watch KAA and LRL quite religiously, KSBKBT on and off and KTH on rare occassions. I guess with T-B wedding it would be the end of all serial watching for me, not necessarily a bad thing for me and I am sure my Munna will be most relieved.

When I think back though on what I will miss and lose out on, I realise it is not KS at all. I watch KS 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week and incidentally since Oct 3,2006 quite often not even that much. But I spend a lot more time on IF with all my friends here, so I guess I will be saying a goodbye to a lot of friends as well. The views we shared, the jokes we had at the characters expense. Bashing Bani and the Dixit clan with Ash, Klue, Meg, Shina and my namesake. Jousting with Sangitadi, Farah and Meena over JW v/s Bani. Friends, many of whom I guess, I will never see or meet in my life, even if I wanted to.

Which incidentally brings me to another point. I have often written at school and college- for grades, at office- for earning my bread, to my parents from hostel- lest they become angry at my lethargy. But whatever little I have written on IF, articles, posts and now my FF, that is the ONLY thing I have ever written in my life, purely for pleasure, the ONLY thing I have ever written without needing to do so. All this I will miss possibly forever in my life.

We could stay on in IF of course, but what for? What would be the point of sticking on and seeing the characters we fell in love with and who united us being butchered day in and day out. Maybe it would be just as good that we would part.

All I can say now is that let's just hope and pray that even if J-B do get separated for 5-6 years, they are not married off to different people and that we can stay on and watch them reunite. And like Ram and Sita remain untainted by any association with anyone else, human or non-human.

Don't know whether I have made any sense, but I am too close to tears to think clearly about what I am writing.

Rgds,
