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.
