Anything and Everything can happen in TV Serials

Serials .. uff ye TV serials ...

These days most of us watch these typical saas bahu types serial and enjoy the mirch masala in it. Now Don't say 'No' :-)

Chalo maan liya, you don't watch these daily soaps everyday but each one of you would have seen at least some glimpse of a serial even though you don't want to watch. Soch rahe ho na aakhir Kiyu ? 

These daily soap have become an important part of the housewives. Many of you must have noticed your wife crying by watching an episode and asking you to keep quite, even when no one is speaking in the serial, arre yaar kisi ko bolne to do, tak tak meri baan hi sun lo pur nahi.

Some day, your mother will ask you to set up the channel of her favorite serial when you are watching cricket or something else of your choice. You don't want to change it, i know but what other choice do you have ? If you are going to think twice about handing over the remote to your wife, they are not going to cook for you :-) None of you would say that this hasn't happened with you at least once in your life:-)

I am also a big fan of these serials with a slight difference with others. My perspective or purpose of watching the serial is quite hilarious.

I can never watch one serial at a time, There are many reasons to it,
  • In half an hour of serial, two breaks are announced, As soon as a break is announced in serial to accommodate the advertisements, i switch over to some other channel to track the plot of the story and many a times, i forget that advertisements would have been over till now on to the previous tv channel and serial would have started.
  • Second, before every break, they consume 30-60 seconds to show what is coming next after the break. I must tell you, you are not going to get this 'coming next' scene until the last 2-3 minutes before the time slot of the serial for that day is about to be over.
  • They consume almost a minute in the end of the serial to accommodate few scenes from the next day episode.
At last, you end up watching only 15-17 minutes story out of 30 minutes.

Don't forget to read the second part of the series ...
