Dear Swami Bhans...nah, forget it. Dear Sanjay.
Kem cho? All well in Bhansalistan?
I just caught up on WU for Monday through Wed, and thought I'd use this midweek Take 2 to have a frank, come-to-Jesus chat with you. Though chat by definition, is a two-way conversation where both parties participate - in this case, we're going to change the rules a bit.
As in...iss baar hum talking, and tum listening. š”š”š”
1. You're officially the desi Danielle Steele. If you don't know her - she's a popular author who puts her characters through an emotional pretzel for 900 pages before letting them reconcile on the last page of her books.
Ring a bell? š
The problem is (and this is why my interest in her writing waned after high school) - the audience really doesn't care by then. The pain and the wailing and the drama are too persistent, too pervasive, and just too damned LONG.
2. Honeymoon phase, shmoneymoon phase. Most shows have them. The first few weeks when everything is hunky dory, the audience is still being reeled in like those blessed kites we couldn't get rid off last week, and the tone is generally upbeat and positive.
Ring a bell? š
What did we get instead? A week when you mistook your audience for a WET KITCHEN DISHRAG. You basically grabbed necks and ankles - and twisted. HARD. So every last teardrop that hasn't already been marked for AD (asli duniya) is shed for this soap.
And we haven't even completed the first month yet.
Anyway - we're halfway through the week, and you still have 3 episodes this week to redeem yourself. Coz the tinkling of anklets grows ever louder, and we follow the sound like Pied Piper's rats.
I'm sure there are millions who love a good weep-o-rama, and more power to them - I hope they enjoy the show.
But for the rest of us sailing in the same boatwa - CAN THESE TWO CRACK A SMILE ALREADY??? š”š”š”
