Hey Guys,

All this while I had been under deep stress. I loved DMG so much that I couldn't leave it even when I knew it wasn't the DMG I loved. I kept pushing myself, hoping for a miracle. Hoping that the creatives would see where they are going wrong and correct themselves. I hoped they would understand what a great cast they had. I hoped they would realize that a show with a medical background would be used to show some really amazing medical experiences. I wished they would use the medical supervisor in the set well and get the best cases out of him. I also wished that I would get to see the character of Sister Lovely doing something which was never seen on television ever.
But it's been a long time since the creatives and makers moved on from the original DMG and now, its time for me to move on too.

I had been addicted to DMG. I experienced all the stages of addiction. I loved the show, eager to watch the next episode, was angry when there was a bad episode, happy and grateful when there was a good episode, cheered with the interns, cried with them, dreamt and had nightmares too. In short, I felt like DMG was real and I was not a viewer but part of it.

Whoever knows me here, must have remembered how I went ranting about DMG. I made VMs like one makes food everyday. I kept thinking about all the songs I could use. I kept talking about every possible turn life would take for the interns. Oasisians know how mad I was about Atul. I was called Mrs. Atul for God's sake!! I was a KaShian at heart, yet had somewhere accepted KaSu even when I had serious problems with the change of Ridz's personality. I loved Shweta as Niki and was hoping she'd bring back some medicine and inter-relationships between interns. My madness and level of tolerance reached it's peak when I wanted Armaan and Niki to get paired.

But I guess, it was for nothing. It was for a DMG that had died for me even before I started to wish for things like this. I just couldn't move on. I couldn't have a closure. I cried my heart out, I stopped coming here. I stopped making VMs. I went on to watch Grey's Anatomy and Scrubs.

And now, I know, DMG was never and will never be Grey's Anatomy and Scrubs. Mainly because DMG is catering to an Indian audience who loves to see love between 2 people and that's it. Their level of interest ends there. They don't want to see a balance being made between career and personal life and inter-personal relationships getting more importance. The creatives lost the battle of creativity to TRP race. And so, it's time for me to go too. You might think it's a loss and it's my weakness that I'm leaving the show which I obsessed about for more than a year now. But I feel I won. I realized my priorities, and I am ready to go and move on.

No more obsessing. No more crying over meer characters who just do whatever the TRP asks them to do. No more dumb goofiness and loud expressions. No more fake doctors and no more fakeness of any kind what-so-ever. Closure... at last!!

Love you all.
Love to every friend I've made here.

Bye and God Bless you all.

Hi kanak....

Well all I can say is good luck to you then, I've known DMG just recently so I love the way it is now... for me it never was just a pass time or relaxing program, but a mirror which connected me to every aspect of life in every possible way... DMG has shown us every thing life reserves, whether good or bad and that's why I so love it!... But you are right in your own way, not only DMG, but Indian television itself has never, maybe will never be able to offer us the likes of Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs, Dr. House, and Prison Break... I feel its another level altogether so it would be quite uncomparable in that way... Still there's an innoncence in Indian shows that's somewhat lost in those huge blockbusters, and its that which keeps me still attached to it!!...

All the best for your life and thanks a lot for everything you've offered us... And always remain Indian at heart... I don't live in India that's why maybe I am saying that... but sometimes lost in the outer crowd, we tend to forget our true roots...



Cheers!! Take care...

yeah kanak i agree vd u... i really dont knw u... but wateva u have written makes sense... many are obbessed vd armaan n frankly i was never crazy for him... i liked armaan-riddhima pair.. i also adjusted myself vd sukirti... my frnd is full on crazy for armaan she watches all d repeats of dmg...
i agree dat dmg has lost its charm.. d main focus is only on armaan-riddhima.. but focus should be on other characters also.. when they are shown us hospital n its doctors y dnt they show us some proffesionalism??? some balance betwn both of professional n personal life...
yeah tagline is mbbs se hatke lovology mein atke... but still some doctorgiri... here toh u'll find doctors romancin in each nook n corner of hospital.. y do they 4gt dat dey also have 2 work here...
focus on atul-anjali, rahul-muskaan, kirti-shubhankar
n not jus on armaan-riddhima... whr they break-up n make-up 100 times...
we would like 2 see sumthn fresh n not repepetitive stuff..
we want dmg's old charm back...
(no offence 2 neone... m also d biggest fan of dmg n will always remain... dis was jus my opinion...)

Dear Kanak,

i dont know you, but reading your post made me realise who you have lived thro the worst phases of DMG just cos u love the show u so much!

but believe me, though all of what you are saying is absolutely right, it is also important that this is the time, u must stick around!

its a tough phase for DMG- i personally think the story has just started to pick up, they are showing serious medical drama, they are showing the market state outside and they are also showing the various relationship dynamics slowly....

i dont totally blame the creatives, cos they were forced to show what the people wanted to watch.. the week when the chirag and the ritu drama happened the trps dropped i loved watching the show around that time as the raw tension between armaan and riddhima.. was worth looking forward to....

even this week when i thought, that the show is doing well, the trps were bad... in a way, i think they had to play safe for over 3 months when karan was busy with ZND, they threw in moments here and there so that they could keep their audience glued.. they managed but, they didnt realise that by the time they wanted to show some real story that they did it haste people were so used to the light hearted romance they didnt want to see trouble in AR land...

the moment niki held Armaan's hand, there would be some 100 people crying hoarse... the moment an Abhimanyu came people didnt want the dupatta flying over his face, when it was a total AR thing..

so in a way they are stuck, if they wanna show something serious they cant, cos they know a major section of audience who watches the show will abandon it....

i just wanna say, trust the show and give it some time... u dont have to be mad and very very obsessed with it like u were before... but now that u have decided to quit watching it, just give it one last chance and watch the show, as an objective detached viewer.. see if u like it that way... u still dont! then by all means- at the end of the day its ur call..

but dont quit watching the show on this note.. thats all i have to say to u!

take care,
niha

hii kanak,
well if u decided to leave d show n give imp to ur priorities den its ur choice.we all have our own prioities in our life so as DMG.well u can't expect a show to show d same story line all d time like AR eyelocking session or dere realisation for love.things have to change so as d story.n DMG always have d same magic which no show can give us.if u understand d things frm every angle den i'm sure u'll feel d same.but if u see it frm only 1 angle den u'll feel like now.
as i said before its ur choice.but still my advice is give imp to ur priorities n watch n enjoy DMG.

bye
we all will miss u for sure
