Masala Weddings !!!!

Are you planning to have a new girlfriend/boyfriend?Or are you searching
for ur soulmate or are you worried how will you manage a baby?log on to
your TV..I'm sure you'll find one of the television shows on air which can
help you find a solution.If you dont know I'll guide you a li'l.
PERFECT BRIDE
10 girls and 5 boys come together on the show in search of genteel &
b'ful"India's Perfect Bride".In an attempt to impress the boys and their
mothers,the participating girls put their best foot forward through various
ludicroustasks including cleaning the kitchen, floor, room decoration
dancing, singing and wooing their to be hubbies(there's lots more!!).
The boys are also required to display their grit by undergoing tasks that
will test their physical and emotional abilities to win the "Perfect Bride".
I am sure you wouldnt stop smiling at the absurd and ersatz setup of the
show.If there's a dearth of emotional drama in your own life you can
switchon to this one which has the whole platter of smiles,tears,laughter,
jealousy masala.In a country where the boy girl ratio is staggering;with
the acute dipping ratio in the headlines how absurd is the idea of selecting
10 girls for 5 boys giving guys the authority to select/reject a girl.
Our retrospective'male chauvinist' society continues to propogate
the idea even in 21st century.
RAKHI/RAHUL ka SWAYMVAR
The two headless celebrities who have been unable to manage their
private lives go public to find a perfect match.Histronic acts by the
celebrities with the doltish aspirants dying(pretending of course) to
get married -'instant acts to get on to the headlines'.Why would any
girl want to marry a guy who's already divorced once,is already in a
quagmire of scandals and laughs like a pig.Or whywould anyone want
to marry Rakhi Sawant who would burst out speaking anything anywhere
without giving a thought!!no but again You would be surprised at the
number of vacuous aspirants wanting to marry these preposterous
celebrities.

Marriage is undoubtedly the most desired attribute in our society.The
concept of marriage in the true Indian spirit is where girls marry not just
the man of their choice but also a family.Its a big yet a private family
affair among Indians.Marriage is mutual acceptance of two people and
not a plebiscite.I wish the TV channels spare us some privacy as the
beauty of certain relationships which are for lifetime are in its serenity
and purity an not in the grandiose 'masala' presentation

  6. its good to have Colleague who writes a blog because i have developed a habit of commenting on them.you mention some Sop eras above..1st one is 'perfect indian bride'..that i never watched so lets talk about rakhi ka swayamber.i have enough courage to admit that i watched full show with maxm interest and kind a enjoyed that..that were the days i didnt have anything to do except tv and internet.even i rememeber most of the dulha's name and wished for manmohan..:)
    Now come to the point why channel wale showing those kind of shows(atleast you are finding horrifying and disguting)???....Because they are making huge profits out of them.They are shrewd clever businessmen..will never do anything for loss..it means we people are watching, liking and enjoying these shows..we the people of republic of india want to watch super-stupid rakhi sawant throwing tantrums and dozens of wanna be celebritie~aam-aadmi type of people tolerating her(only god knows how they people managed that).when people watch these type of show they always able to connect themself to the common man who is in bid of getting famous.we always make secret wish for one to win.Our suppressed desire of being famous allow us to connect with those commoners (like us).I am not critical of rakhi sawant or any person who is in show business. Now they are celebrity because of hard work and sacrifices they have made in past. In show Business no Sati-Savitri can survive. Scandals and tantrums are the integral part of show business .these thing reminds audience the very existence of celebrity on planate itself. Look at the Chetan Bhagat ..He planted a controversy and got the place on front page of every news paper and news channels.Until one week before he was known to only tech savvy people (engineers and others) now most of the country know about him. His novel sell increases to 4-5 times in couple of week .
    So moral of the story is nothing is good and nothing is bad…just keep rotating the channels and enjoy..
    Cheers…!!!
