Hi everyone. The reaction that i experienced to Samay's death got me thinking. Why does this show matter so much to me? Perhaps you feel the same way about this show, perhaps you feel similarly about some other show. Here, I'm not talking only about adhm, i'm talking about tv per se. How do we get so involved in it?

For instance, I have a job, I'm also a student and I live alone. At any given point of time, there are ten things that i have to do... and most of them will benefit me. eg. Padh loongi toh mere hi kaam aayega etc. Par phir bhi i leave aside all my work, sometimes imp or urgent work and watch the show on the net. Or i read and post here. Or i think about the show and Gaurav. Sometimes it seems to me that i have developed wasting time into an art 😉

But its not just about wasting time by watching the same episodes over and over again. I'm also deeply emotionally involved in the show. As i said elsewhere, today it felt as if someone i knew had died. And now it feels very uncomfortable to know that i got so upset over a guy who is after all a fictional character. yes one feels sad but the intensity and degree of my own emotion surprised me.

I have close friends who like the show but do not understand my obsession with it... in my conversations with people, i frequently feel the urge to talk about this show... ask them what they watch at 9 and shift to adhm from ks.

this post is going to sound crazy... i'm not complaining. this is just an attempt to understand my own feelings. thankfully, my obsession is in control to a large degree... i haven't really bored the people at my workplace about this show...yet!! don't know how you all will react... but i think you'll know what i'm talking about.

Well i understand u very much and i feel alike. EVen i dont go to sleep before watching ti even though my eyes are cryin for sleep.. But i guess it takes us away from our usually daily life and we see things from a different view. We are in a fictious world and thts why we enjoy it. IT takes all our tensions away, and we cant forget abt it whn we are gettin back to reality..MAybe thts why, me n my sis are obsessed n take samays name 1000 time and cant wait till it is 10 o clock..
But dont worry u havent got mad or REALLY obsessed, its normal n every1 feels like this. Hoped it help bu sharing my thought with u aswell. 😉

Very well said👏👏!!! Even I'm obsessed with this show and quite often our obsession keeps changing..i.e. today its ADHM tomorrow it might be another show along with ADHM but I think these shows give us a respite from our day-to-day life and problems.... biggest being studying😃. So don't fret, we are all in the same boat!! 😃 Hope that helps.

Hi. Thanks for writing, you guys really made me feel better. 😛 😛
Just one clarification though. I love my studies. I'm doing literature and to me there is no other subject in the world. Infact, i love my subject so much that i want to become a college professor in the same subject. Hence when i leave my books aside for this show, I'm really shocked, I've never done this before. And so Vanzi its actually just one form of fiction that i'm trading for another.
Anyway, its really heartening to know that we're all in the same boat. I just hope the boat isn't the Titanic, doomed to sink. Though if Gaurav is Jack, I wouldn't mind sinking or drowning for him 😉. I mean I'm already drowning in his eyes 😉
See I'm back on track!!!

I have a full time job in a major Financial Company.

I work with very high end Financial software.

I have a BS and an MS (major in Engineering and minor in Business) degree.

So guys …. I am a highly analytical individual in nature who deals with technology and financial data as a profession. No literature/social science background what so ever. I have studied a couple of the most dry areas in education perhaps😆 😆 😆.

Now explain me why…...... am I so much hooked to this show …..that…. I am logging into this forum on and off thanks to my laptop and wireless internet access (thanks to technology!!! 😉 )….. wherever I go? 😳

I don't have to say too much 😳 …. You got the picture I hope… 😉 .

I always love the idea of being in love for everyone😊. Love is a gift everyone should experience at least once in a life time😉….. and if it turns out to be the life long love…. That's the best thing that can happen to anyone👏.

For me all I can say in a nutshell is this....I love the way Samay and Rusty's relationship is been unfolding from day1👏….. I love the character Samay as it is very very lovable🤗 (in real life most of us would have probably avoided these type of guys… as Rusty did…..we would not have known how he really was right😆?.... that is why we love this love story so much…. Like a fairy tale😉… )… All credit goes to the creative who created this character Samay…. but Gaurav gave it the life it needed👍🏼….. so to me Samay and Gaurav are the same😆.

As long as you understand that it is a fictional story that you are watching when it becomes totally unbearable … I think it's OK😛. In the mean time I love this forum as well❤️….. it gives me an opportunity to express my feelings like a romantic story writer😆😆😆...... @ all of your expense.😉

Dear whynot :)

I can totally relate to what you are saying. I live in the US, have my career, have a house and a husband to manage:) but you have no idea with what anticipation I wait for the show. The fact that Samay would even die would depress me. It is not that my life revolves around the show, but it is very much a part of my every day routine.

I think all of is in one way or the other look for an "out" from our day to day lives and we find it in different ways. Of course, there is social interaction, hobbies etc, but sometimes there comes along a serial that gets you by the gut because of the storyline, star cast etc, and before you know it those characters become a part of our daily existence. There is nothing wrong with it, as long as you don't let it distract you from your other priorities.

I remember when JJKN ended.. gosh I cried like a little girl watching the last episode.. as if my friends wouldn't visit me any more.. but I did survive Iqbal's absence ;) when KYPH stopped.. however, am not sure if I can take another blow with Samay dying.. nahin yaar aisa nahin ho sakta :)

Sorry about the long lecture.. have fun, enjoy everyday :)

Well love certainly makes the world go around!!! Thanks all of you for making me feel sooooooooooooo much better. 🤗
And Shanaz, i never thought that i'd have so much in common with a science professional... i'm completely technologically challenged!!
Vanzi, i think i know what you mean... i used to like Hiten Gauri too though now i don't really like them all that much. But wasn't obsesssed with them the way i'm with Samay 😉 😉.
Ya Shanaz, someone like Samay is exactly the kind of guy i would avoid in real life... in fact, run a mile from. So the show does give me the vicarious pleasure of living out a fantasy 😛
And Sonykudi, welcome to the forum and to the world of Samay lovers. Thankfully, I do not have a husband to manage so that's one thing less to worry about 😆 And it wasn't a long lecture, good to hear from different people.
And finally, guys i'm going home for an extended weekend as its my b'day on sat. i have a tv at home but will miss the show since will reach friday morning and leave sunday evening. will try and catch a promo, if it ever appears. And will miss this place a lot (No internet at home). Keep writing. 😃
