I was supposed to write about the 'double K' serials which we happen to see on TV... But seems like I don't really want to... They are really crappy :)
They really show how powerful and how good/bad fan-following be. Well the culture of soaps on TV, I guess started off with a serial called as Hum-Log. Well all the 'double K' serials are nothing but Hum-Log 2.0 :-)
As a young lad, when I had nothing to do after returning from school, I used to watch these serials. More so, they were aired by doordarhan, and those were the days when cable channel didn't penetrate into our house (thanks to my dad :-)). Well, Hum-Log really gave a clear picture of a middle class family, something which forms the maximum fraction of our population. But today these double-K serials really start with the middle class families, and then strech into the dreams of the middle class families. They show one person who can clear a debt of some thing like 100's of crores, and people in the middle class of our country actually finding resemblance with them... This really indicates that we have become avid dreamers :-)
Well, I really feel crappy writing about these serials. So lemme jus stop!
