I have cut down my viewing and talkin drastically over the last yr cause I realised it unhealthy and creepin on my personal life!!
I decided to make post if am in the mood cause I enjoying writing and this gives me a reason to write regularly!!
But am a firm believer of - you know the quality of a nation's life and views based of what they watch and like!!
I wait for the day we will appreciate good cinema and soaps cause they would mean we have better taste!!
Bang on Jules... that's the reason precisely why I stopped watching RR. In fact I consciously keep myself away from Indian series these days because of its impact on our lives. These days RR was the only series that I was watching and I soon realized what impact it had on me - I was and am actually very very upset at the illogical way things moved in this series. Subconsciously kept on thinking about it which made me more upset. And I'm no teenager who was watching it only for Rudra-Paro hot chemistry. I am actually in my early 30s, a senior level corporate professional with a taste in good books and movies and still watched an Indian series like RR as it was different & appealing to my taste. I'm a new mother too and hence seeing this death of a new mother like Paro for no reason was sort of very difficult for me. Also, I'm a firm believer that you watch TV to unwind yourself, not to add further complications to your life. I wonder how callously Indian series show death of young characters and then show them falling for look alikes or someone else with slogan - life moves on... well ask them who have to really go through death of young family members, life actually really never moves on. It goes on but moves on? A big statement actually. Frankly it's never the same. And still our own series makes mockery of death of young lives so easily.
Coming down to RR again, I could have understood the leap or death if it would have been shown after sometime or if it would have run out of its original story. I made a post sometime back on what all could have been shown instead of this. In fact you also made a hilarious yet very important post on "open plots at RR" with "suchislife" connection. Each point of yours was bang on. Didn't the lead confess their love in June and you decided to end your character in July itself with pregnancy, bachcha and all that?
In RR, so many other things could have been shown instead of all this with a statement - #suchislife! Weird, very weird and then they expect us to accept all this track just because of Ashish or Sanaya or SuchifLife?
I also wondered, is it me only who is getting so upset about it? Makers are perfectly cool and confident about all the twists that they are throwing on our face. Even large extent of audience seems to be perfectly adjusted with the new twists and illogical turns.
Well, even I love Sanaya & Ashsish a lot as actors but then my mental sanity is more important to me than going through this emotional trauma just because I admire these actors. Well, I will rather wait and watch for their new project as against investing my team in series like this.
Yes, I keep coming back to IF in a hope that maybe some positive news which can make me go back to this series but alas, doesnt look like I have any, at least for now. So its a break from RR for me too. Unless I hear that Paro has come back :D. Trust me, howsoever illogical that track would be (rebirth, some bad dream of rudra all this was etc), I will actually come back to RR but definitely not for this track.
Thanks for your lovely posts once again. BTW, do you blog? If yes, please PM me the link. I actually loved yours and PrincessSunara writing a lot in this forum :).
