So yeah as you all know working from home has its share of good and bad like everything else...the good being I can take regular MaAn breaks without making lame excuses to run off to the restroomā˜ŗļø

the bad of course is that you still have to work šŸ˜’ plus try and get all the mundane chores at home, one such boring job being sorting out bills and stuff.

So, today my partner requested me to call our broadband provider and give them a good blasting for doubling the bill without prior notice cause apparently I’ve been in that kind of a mood lately? got me thinking who else I might have told off for him to come up with that or he probably just said that to butter me up, cheekyšŸ™„


Anyway so I called them up and right from the get go I was mad, the customer service agent politely listened to me rant like a crazy woman. Now coming to the point..what I said on the call was this:


First of all a sudden increase in the tariff is not what I expected...I’ve been a loyal customer for the last 13 years and what I get is a bill thats double of what we’ve been paying so far and that too without enough notice!!!! I’m sure there must be rules to follow when making changes to the contract and you guys just didn't bother emailing or sending me a letter through the post to inform of the ridiculous changes you’ve made.

I understand that there will always be an increase in the tariff but not to this extent, this is just silly...I honestly feel cheated and betrayed ...and unless you can renew the contract on acceptable terms, I would like it terminated with immediate effect....



Radio silence on the other end of the call🤣🤣🤣



I quickly hung up and wished he never called me back....and also looked around if my partner heard me at all. Thank heavens he didn't cause if he did it’d mean endless accounts of leg pulling for the rest of our lives.



MaAn what have to done🤯

I never intended to watch the show. I had an idea about the show and knew it was the best show on SP but I thought to actually watch the show once it ends but when I got to know that Gaurav will enter the show as Anupama's new partner i just couldn't hold myself after all he's my fav actor so I started to binge watch the whole show and always used to count the number of episodes left for Anuj's entry. It took me a month to watch the whole series up-to the entry. Now these days since Gaurav's entry I always get excited to watch it first in the morning as I cant wait till night to watch it be it good or bad as long as I watch Anuj I'm fine.

My life is a bit like Anupama's, but I'm not married yet, but the life situation is that I'm trying to find my way in life and its way too hard, its impossible (I always say to my mom that Anu's problems is small and she can find a way but where I live i cant do that, my hands are completely tied down) and watching Anuj motivating Anupama actually indirectly helps me too. Now I truly want a person in my life like Anuj the way he respects his love and motivates her to live her dream is what I truly wish for in my prince charming.

Sorry for the long post but the title made me pour my heart out and its just a part of the effect of this show or else there is a deep impact and a very huge similarities I haven't mentioned here

I had noticed the promo but got put off the way vanraj shah was treating Anupama.

I am a self proclaimed champion of women( feel she's been underdog for long)

What we watch and discuss here one recalls when interacting with folks.

Long posts are direct consequence of Anupama.

Love this post!šŸ˜

Apologies in advance for my long postā˜ŗļø


So I started wfh only back in Feb this year and despite watching very few Hindi serials in the past I started watching a different one that started in Feb and was obsessed with it. It’s what brought me to this forum. I then gradually started watching a few other serials this year, as what else do you do in lockdown when you are home 24/7 and have done everything else lol. So with the forum and IG, I wake up wanting to check latest on the serials, I check during lunch breaks, then when I’m in boring meetings and very late at night like now when I should be fast asleep! Notifications of lives on IG by some of actors as they pop up excite me more than my work and then there’s the daily run down with my mum over the phone. I really need to get back into the office I think, just writing all this shows I’ve become what I said I wouldn’t!


Now as for this serial I had refused to watch it when my mum kept telling me about it as it is way too toxic for me. I found though with more time on my hands with wfh I dip in now and then especially when they feature celebrations or bring in aesthetically pleasing actorsšŸ˜‰. Of late I have been intrigued by Anupamas story and dialogues especially relating to her being a divorcee, her male friend and her working. These dialogues have taken me back to my younger days of when I was growing up where everything I did was scrutinised, my choice of friends was questioned, not being allowed to talk to guys etc etc to now where I am single and I live on my own. It has made me raise a few questions to my mum recently as to how she and other family members treated me growing up. It’s really helping me as I now have more of a voice and a really good reference. Being eldest child in the family didn’t help me. Anyways I could go on but I think you get the idea of how the show is affecting my lifeā˜ŗļø.


Saito, I loved your post and can relate. I know things can be hard especially when single but believe me whilst waiting for our own AK, don’t think of life where your hands are tied, I used to think that until I untied my own hands and freed myself from various shackles to allow me to live life, my way. This is where some serial characters are great for motivating encouraging us.
