Kool's Commentary : March 1:Final Warning Pg111&135 - Page 58

Dear hillydee,

Of course, I agree with your take on the Delilah style cunning in women who do such a number on foolish, trusting men. The thing is that even today, in most parts of the world, the men are more powerful, so there are more Delilahs than the other way around. There must still be men who dupe women for their money, but not for their power. As the overt power of women grows, we will undoubtedly see the male equivalent of Delilah too.

Incidentally, the movie. Samson and Delilah, was perfectly cast, and Hedy Lamarr was the epitome of what could be called delilahness, wasn't she? Maybe Greta Garbo could have done it too, but she was always remotely lovely, like an ice maiden, and she never had the kind of smouldering sensuality that Delilah would need.

Incidentally, you might have noted that there is going to be a new 9 pm serial on Sony from today. It has the prettiest girl around in Hindi TV at present, Sanaya Irani - whose huge hit in IPKKND I did not watch, as a couple of episodes with that terminally idiotic family put me off, so much so that not even the very handsome leads could salvage it for me. They talk of Arjun-Purvi's so-called chemistry; it was nothing to that between Barun Sobti and this girl in the couple of episodes that I did watch. No wonder the channel closed the show down when the hero quit. Now that is star power!

To revert, there are also a couple of handsome dogs in that Chanchan, yes, that is the name of the serial, and it is promised that there will be no rona dhona. So I will try it out. In any case, Sanaya is good to look at, unlike the bedraggled, ever weepy Purvi, who, of late, seems to have lost all her looks.

As of now, I watch only Saraswatichandra, which continues to do well, Devon ke Dev Mahadev, and the weekly Ramayana, plus PR, where the real attraction is my mother's caustic running commentary on the goings on.

So this would be worth trying, and who knows, it might even be light and pleasant.

Hi Shyamala,

Excellent Post!!

I am so glad someone knows that story😆

Yes, you are so right, Delilah did go back to Samson and died with him. Something Purvi will never do for either Arjun or Onir.

However, I was trying to take out my piece regarding how she got him to tell her the secret of his strength.😆

Purvi is a piece of work.

Dear Karly,

Don't laugh at me, but what is mkkpb? I do not watch most serials, whence my unpardonable ignorance!😉 And if it is from Khubsoorat, I hope it is the original one with Rekha.

As for dumping PR, I have already ditched BALH two months ago, after watching it from the beginning, and if Chanchan is good, I will quit PR too. Since the 6 month leap, I think I stayed only because I Iike Onir's simple and transparent goodness of heart.

now from the past 3-4 weeks the trps of zee shows are decreasing and even zee's grps are decreasing. karma definitely bites back😈😈

Dear Hillydee,

Not evil, my dear! Misguided, idiotic, lallu, whatever, but not evil, please!

I am not saying this because I have a soft corner for Onir despite all his follies, though I do, very definitely. It is more because evil is a very serious word and one does not use it lightly.

Evil would be the gang rapists and murderers who attacked Nirbhaya in that Delhi bus on Dec 16 last with such unbelievable brutality and callousness . Evil would the football team members from Steubenville, Ohio, who drugged a 16 year old, dragged her comatose body from one house to another, violated her any number of times, in ways natural and unnatural, took videos of it all, tweeted proudly about what they had done, circulated the videos as MMSes, and jeered about "the dead girl" as someone who deserved not only what she got, but also that they should relieve themselves on her inanimate body.

I do not know where to place the football worshippers in the town who, when the story was finaly broken fully 4 months later, attacked the journalist who dug it out, and trashed the girl as a willing participant because they did not want the bulk of their football team to go to jail.

Reverting to PR, if one says that Onir is evil because of the baby swapping, for there is nothing else to lay at his door, we would have to classify Savita,. Sachin, Ovi and many others as even worse evildoers. This would totally devalue the term 'evil'.

Further, to equate deeds of very different degrees of culpability, for example Mittal having his minions harvest organs from uninformed donors, some of whom might even have been disposed of for that purpose,and Onir's folly in giving away his wife's baby with a view to, as he is told by his mishti, protecting Ovi from having a breakdown, would not be correct either. He does not do it for personal gain, but out of a mistaken indulgence towards his wife plus the belief that he is helping Ovi and Arjun.

So, I do not agree that Onir worse than Mittal, for he and his follies are in no way comparable to Mittal's, not does he qualify for the title of 'evil'. You, of course, need not agree with me at all,but I wanted to put down what I feel.

I sure miss you😃

I agree with you that Onir is worse than Mittal. Mittal is evil no secret about it. However, Onir is portrayed as a good guy who loves his wife, but is willing to illegally swap babies, break medical vows, which is one of the ethics code of conduct in Medicine etc.

When a person is evil and you know his face it is upsetting, but when a person pretends to be good and does evil, it makes be Angry.😡

Man I finally saw Friday's episode. JPBP Sulo had full on make up. Did u all catch that? What an audacity of Onir to walk into Telu Mittal's home threatening & mocking him ...grrr moment

Hello ladies,
