I was so unsure about how to say goodbye but here goes...
This show is not the first serial I have watched but it was the harbinger of firsts in many other ways...
1. the first show which made me an IF addict and spammer so much so that i became Goldie. I was more of the silent reader earlier but Amita ka Amit made me an active commenter. I learnt to have fun on the forum because of this show.
2. the first show for which i called the CVs and the channel and mailed (spammed) everyone i thought who had a say in continuing the telecast. trust me, i have loved some shows prior to this too but i used to laugh at people who spam the channels and production houses for their favourite shows and stars. I don't know why but Amita ka Amit became something really personal for me, something I had to fight tooth and nail for and I tried. But I guess it was not enough...
3. The first show that made me bold enough to take anonymous friendships from the forum and put them in the personal domain. I always refrained from taking the risk and was fiercely protective about my privacy. But I broke my rules for my Amita ka Amit friends and Aurin, Aman, Riya, Urmi, Sri, Selena indu, aanaya,niha and so many more, I am glad you are in my life and I hope you will continue to be.
Edited as I forgot to mention, this was also the show for which I picked up a fight with someone on FB because she used abusive words for chandni. She got an earful from me and it was a nasty fight but I don't regret it.
4.The first show that made me write after years. I used to write poems in school and some blog posts over the years but I didn't really sit down and write a story till Amita ka Amit. I know I have been pathetic in updating frequently and my friends are waiting to hit me for it :). Really sorry guys, the next part is coming along. Suraj ki entry is really confusing me and am not able to do my best. Real life mein bhi it's a busy time. So, I wont promise again as I failed to keep up promises but I will continue the story and I hope you will read it.
Now, coming to the reason why all the above firsts happened. Many others have said it much better than me but I'll still attempt to say it. I love Amita ka Amit like I love any of my friends (and mind you, I am very possessive about them). I saw myself in Amita. Especially the scenes of Amita's insecurity versus the more popular and pretty Preeti, Amita's weight issues, her having a "stupid" unattainable crush and getting a heartbreak as a result, her getting a life partner who might not be the quintessential Mr.Right or Mr.Perfect but them gradually understanding each other and learning that they are perfect for each other if not perfect for the world and falling in love (phir bhi zindagi khoobsoorat hai), Falguni's relationship with Amita growing gradually into trust and love instead of the stereotypical saas-bahu torture, family issues like Atul-Kajal's ego clash and Kajal's manipulations prior to Amita's marriage however well-intentioned they may be, a great group of friends who were supportive through thick and thin and helped the leads progress in their relationship by giving them the right inputs at the right time.
There may have been a 100 things not quite right or downright stupid about the show but there were so many things that were absolutely right and realistic and lovable. Perfect or not, I love Amita ka Amit!
The cast were a set of relative newcomers but they were perfect for their roles. Kudos to them and I hope to see them back in other shows.
Thank you to the channel, production house and CVs for giving us this show!
I can go on and on but I think I managed to convey the general idea of what I wanted to say.
Goodbye, Amita ka Amit and thank you for all the good times! :)
