Yes, this is the new slogan for one of the prominent Indian TV channel who has completed 10 years of broadcasting melodrama. I dont know if its apt for the channel's shows coz i dont find anything new, but yes the promos that have been used are highly commendable. One must watch it!
Few of the ads that have caught my senses are:
1. Adopting the girl child (I have to admit it, its not just the ad but also Sachin Tyagi who has been roped in there...i love him!).
2. Daughter encouraging mother to sit for exams.
3. Bonding between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law so much so that they plan for a night show.
Hats off to the creative head behind the concept of these ads!

Yeh Serial Kyun Itna Pakata Hai...
If my blog title doesnt remind you of the great Indian Tv show...then u were the lucky one to escape the torture (do lemme know hw u managed)
anyways, let me not divert myself from the main mudda...why after an year am i writing abt this disgusting show (yes u read me correct...disgusting...utter disgust coz it wrongly portrays Maheshwari girls...i wanna shoe the creative head), this morning i again switchd on TV and switched to this particular channel (for wat? i love to see snippets of all the Tv shows whenever i can manage)...so i was watching particular show named after a popular song from a movie based on our country's capital....after few mins only, it was time for the 5 min long break..for once today i dont why i was stuck to this one channel...and then there came this ad from the show... "the female protagonist was shown very happy and talking to the audience that she is very happy for she will be celebrating her frst birthday after marriage....(with the speed with which she got married...i remember it took her husband 4 weeks to go and marry her in the same city even when there was no traffic or curfew...no wonder by this time she cud have celebrated her birthday twice)...well back to the main point, so the lady is happy as she expects her husband to plan some surprise for her (but tell me if she expects him to throw a surprise, then wat is the surpirse?...she knows that there wud be something for her)...anyways, she is happy and like always when she doesnt have any work, she sits infront of the mirror and is abt to apply some make up...suddenly her hubby appears (like naradmuni he too loves sudden appearances)....she expects him that he will take her in his arms (in the morning???) and wish her...but he being another nautanki, he just informs her that he is leaving for offc....the girl gets upset and the ad comes to an end!!SIGH :)
The wrong messages that the show gives abt Maheshwari balikas:
1. We dont always sit infront of the mirror.
2. We dont keep our brains aside.
3. We dont cry on every damn thing on this earth.
4. We are not at all sophisticated dolls.
I remember working on a project with crunch deadlines last year when the longest marriage on TV was organised on this show. I have this Bong friend who was very enthusiastic to watch a Rajasthani marriage and everyday she used to ask me one question "Laddoo, in logon ka shaadi kab hoga?" Huh! waise i do keep asking a similar question to God abt myself but i will ensure that my hubby doesnt have to wait for so long and vice versa!!!

Mishal Raheja Fan Club at my PG
He might not be the talk of nation, town, city, or even a lane, but he is the God at Flat 103, ......
My roomies lie flat and can watch him without a single wink of an eye......admiring!
reminds me of my days when i was mad abt Ram Kapoor and Hussain! For the former i used to reach tutions late and the for the latter, i used to watch Kumkum at 1.30 in the night!
Who said Tv stars are small in size?

The Modern Day Melo-Drama—Ads on TV
Yesterday only i was watching this latest toothpaste AD featuring Kajol.......
first the AD:
Kajol appears and says "Maa bante hi kitna kuch badal jaata hai......jaise mera favorite channel" (at this point she appears with a little girl, who is not her real-life daughter, and a tv with cartoon running on it........then she continues "Tabhi mere dentist ne mujhe bataya ki mujhe yeh particular toothpaste use karna chahiye coz isme hai blah blah protection shakti joh aapke daanton ko de extra protection"
Now, i need answer to certain questions abt the idea/logic behind this ad:
1. Why did the dentist suggest this toothpaste only after our actress became a mother?
2. Why did not they offer the reason for suggesting tise toothpaste only after the actress became a mother?
3. If the toothpaste has nothing to do with pregnancy, then the dentist shud be sued for not suggesting the toothpaste earlier.....

Azab TV ki Gazab Dastan-I
Feeling bad for Dr. Roy's NDTV and Miss Dutt's golden days when she used to cover hard core politcial news, visit battlegrounds in far away lands such as Kashmir, but alas........all that's over now.......For all her fans and followers including me, it was a setback to watch her on last friday....well! she must have started this all a long time ago but i had went on a break from NDTV after it started promoting RS ka Swayamvar on all its News channels......
Returning to the main mudda, i was shocked to see her in a new role which i never thought she will don for any bucks.......she was quizzing Katrina Kaif on her latest flick and her relationships and journey in Bollywood........i was left wondering if the entertainment bureau chief at NDTV (some guy named Rohit) left his job? Then i remebered that he is busy giving competition to Rajeev Masand on another social website named Twitter. Otherwise, why wud Miss Barkha Dutt involve herself with such pity issues or Bollywood is taking over the imagination and is abt to rule the nation instead of Mr. Singh...
anyways watever this lady (read Miss DUTT) does, she gives her best there........she was looking good and has done thorough research on Miss Kaif's life before taking up this interview. This is why she cud quiz her on social issues concerning the successful actress's life, journey to star dom, her affiliation to the brat Khan and so on!
