Busy street
Desperate Housewives, Star World,
11 a m
As usual, much is happening on Wisteria
Lane. Teri Hatcher is still into an affair,
Eva Longoria's trying to swinde her hus-
band.. Marcia Cross is suspecting her new
husband of murder. And Felicity Huff-
man is willing to help husband open a
pizza place.
All this is backed by high-pitched
yelling, freak accidents and of course,
the serene voice of the ghost who's nar-
rating it all. Spooky.
Delayed delivery
Santaan, Star Plus,
7.30 p m
Pregnant wife is screeching in hospi-
tal. Husband is desperate to find mon-
ey (Rs 50,000 for the delivery opera-
tion). A seth-type alights from a black
Mercedes, wielding a walking stick
studded with diamonds. It's the preg-
nant one's father.
He makes the usual offer to poor son-
in-law. Very soapish but it works.. prob-
ably because the lead couple is very
likeable. Sob.
Say it with stones
Diamonds are Forever ad
Tulip Joshi gets married. The groom lifts
her diamond maang-tikka and fills it with
kumkum. Joshi's necklace, earrings and
maang-tikka
glitter in the
silvery-golden
light. She
moves in clos-
er, whispers:
"You may now
kiss the
bride," to her
husband and
gives him one
of her radiant
smiles. Sweet.
Bug story
Pest Con-
trol of India
ad
Hassled
woman is
cooking. A
cockroach (actually it's a man disguised as
one) is feeding on chutney and chokes.
Hassled woman gives the cockroach water.
Punchline? Make friends with cockroach-
es in your home, or call Pest Control.
Smart!
Pretty woman
Ardhangini, Zee TV 11 p m
It's based in Kolkata. So there are trade-
mark shots of Howrah Bridge, trams
trundling
down streets
and women in
red-white saris
blowing conch-
es. Our lead
girl is so, so
beautiful, even
the apsaras
would get a
complex (it's
what her
mohalla guys
say, I don't).
She's daddy's
pet, which of
course means
her mum and
sister can't
stand her.
Ooh.. original!
