Week's viewing worth..

thanks to my randomizing.. I ended up with way too many shows in my kitty.. initially I thought this week would be slow what with boss gone for a week.. and thanksgiving hols.. but as it turned out it was hectic.. not just at work.. but thanksgiving dinners and midnight shopping on black friday.. and to top it.. havent been in the best of my health..

so I decided to drop one show.. and BB faced the axe from my list.. as its bloody long.. LOL.. as for EHM its pretty much 20 mins daily.. and one can ff portions too.. loads of wedding stuff.. naach gana etc.. light moments.. between siblings.. and family.. my fave was defo monday with the continuation of the drunk scene.. where Viren is for a change caught by beeji.. and not another hit n miss.. the guy's subtle comic timing is impeccable.. defo one of the better young actors I have seen in a while.. his 'pakad liya yaar' to the pairi pouna beeji inside the closet.. were epic looks.. classic expression before the barrage of main aisa hu nahi.. bas jeevika ki yaad a rahi thi to socha mil loon.. .ROFL..the reaction it brought from each member was funny each time.. finally beeji completing his line and he goes wow how did she know.. and anju mahendru's classic look.. REALLY NOW? and to top it.. the guy was still in character... using his default lawyer mode analysis.. with the idk why i took such a risk of climbing up the ladder,etc.. LOL little things like these made it good comedy.. the show defo has cheeky comic scenes and lines.. esp d ones given to manvi.. The girl has tremendous spontaneity but I feel she needs to work on the pauses.. some of the punches are lost in her pace of delivery sometimes..

talking of comic timing.. I am loving the easy portrayal of Swetha's sweety ji and Vivek Mushran's lucky ji in parvarish.. the first epi was a bit disappointing.. in fact I just caught up on the other epis.. and it slowly settles down.. the mood of the show.. its a good package for sure... some interesting things have been incorporated.. Sweety's controlling behavior is  more convincing than Pinky's mom-friend act.. that comes across as pseudo.. more so coz Rupali's portrayal reminds me of Mohnisha Sarabhai a lot.. like thts how mohnisha wld react to teenage daughter.. Vishal Singh's jeet is defo the more grounded mature parents.. among all 4.. besides the really urbane and objective Dolly... who sadly is the one who decided to go childless.. although she is more close to understanding the psyche of kids now..

but have to give it to the kids.. from rewa's embarassed by mother teenage tantrum.. stuck in a mess situation to rashi's oversmart , too big for any shoes act.. are both endearing.. Ginny is defo the surprise package..I did write after epi1 tht sweety's kids wld be more prone to hiding stuff and turns out exactly that.. Ginny's demure act at home vs strong rockstar personality at school is almost split personality.. LOL.. amidst all the drama the clueless rocky is defo the funniest.. his siren ringtone with danger amma cracked me up.. reminded me of my bro's friends who had similar adjectives for their mom.. LOL.. through the end of the 1st week.. one thing jumped out.. the kids were smart enough to handle or resolve their school mess... while the parents and grandparents ended up making a royal soup out of the situation.. Jeet being an exception.. so on week one's synopsis.. its the parent's who need growing up and parenting lessons as of now.. but then again that's the premise of the show.. Munira word of caution.. keep yer kids away.. you may not find much to learn from Sweety or Pinky.. but they wld defo pick up from Ginny and Rashi.. LOL..

Last but not the least.. wld hopefully find some time, motivation, and that piece of mind.. to write the next part of the SS.. LOL.. its been crazy off late.. and I am sorta scared m losing touch with the vintage MB feel... hopefully I can write enough to complete the SS.. should be 3 more updates.. or 4.. 

What are we watching? II

So now that we are sorta busy in our own hum-drums.. atleast I am in a very random ZONE (thought of misusing the word as Sky)..ROFL.. I did give a view to a lot of shows here and there.. some on yer recommendations.. some for simply timepass with my roomy.. so the Qs remains what are you guys watching and do we find something common..

before I start on my tangent.. I am defo giving Parvarish on Sony which starts tomorrow a try.. the promos have been very cheeky and real.. and the subject on the ordeals of parenting in today's day and age is rather interesting.. I know Munira is with me on this show.. yay!.. Kools do give it one dekho.. LOL

I am a BB convert now.. for obv reasons its extremely unintentionally funny.. and me and my roomy finally found something over dinner to roll out of the couch and ROFL.. last week was interesting with the GREEN ROOM political party falling to a technicality and the reactions galore..must say the BB forum is funny too in bits.. there are loads with the funny bone.. some comments are hilarious.. I keep away from the highly serious sounding opinionated posts.. coz let's face it.. there is no one to support or rant against.. the outright loud behavior notwithstanding.. loved Salman's tone against Sid.. even if it was for a friend or w/e.. He was bloody serious.. gah I missed Salman.. hoping he stays back as the host..

Besides that I watched a couple of epis of Hitler Didi.. Munira I told you all about the big fanwars etc.. all tht apart the 2 epis I did watch made sense.. there was a premise for the show.. inspired by an old Rekha movie.. but the old MB jimmy as the lead is just excruciating to watch.. LOL.. the treatment of the show was rather simple and the characters very real and flawed.. surprise surprise the creative head.. sounded familiar.. Manish Mistry.. our very own CH from MB.. LOL.. but somehow I wasnt in a mood to watch more of the show.. LOL.. random as I have been

Doesnt end here.. my tangents.. I even caught 2 epis of Havan on Kool's reco.. and like I told u koolsbeta.. besides baapji the other character and actors and the storyline looked very stale.. Idk maybe I am comparing with mb.. but I am sorta ok with watching shows in passing without getting intellectually or convictionally involved.. mostly coz there is none in the shows around.. LOL

talking of viewing in passing.. 2 of my friends- one a very old one I caught up with.. is watching Ek hazar mein meri behen hain on star.. she got me to watch few scenes.. the dynamics and the treatment again very simple.. very BARJATYA kinda show.. major hangover.. the lead couple has of vivaah cum HSSH (salman and sonali which I did like).. the younger sister is very spontaneous in her troublemaker avatar.. and somehow reminds me of rekha in khoobsurat.. I also liked the recent scene of the 2 bros.. the usual drunk escapade.. LOL.. the older bro. actor is decent.. has a nice voice..LOL kill me for the superficiality.. but there is really no depth to look fwd to.. apart from the intriguing angle of Swamini.. the guys bua.. who remained unmarried and took the older son under her patronage once her bro aka the kids dad passed away.. so what's her story.. is intriguing.. the disciplinarian she is.. defo has layers.. and the younger bro with a sordid family past reminds me a lot of Sid Virani.. in a family of lawyers he is the black sheep.. so again time pass viewing.. not hooked.. but easy on the senses to relieve one from the daily stress at night..

Munira still waiting on yer R.com rant.. wanna go back and watch some epis.. will do once you start on yer analysis..  and btw guess what.. I chatted with VV the actor (Sid Arora) on fb on n off last week.. latest is he has taken to writing a NOVEL.. I simply had to write this.. LOL..  kools apparently the creative writing bug has caught on.. I passed on the alternative version of MB SS link to him.. hoping he can find the time to catch up and give me his feedbacks.. LOL made no bones to him tht I wasnt so keen on VVs romanticism.. ROFL.. so tht shldnt come as a shock

m sure you guys had enough of my rant.. passing the baton now.. 

Scared and Trying

The days start and end with just one worry ......will I be able to make it ?

Only 3 universities I will be applying to . Only 3 .

Will this year end with a hope ?

Will the dreariness of life end ?

Will life change ?

Is following your dream happiness ?

Or is surrendering to the spirit happiness ?

Does surrendering to the spirit mean giving up on your dreams ?

It never felt right to me , that definition of surrender .

Maybe I am not ready to give up yet .

Maybe I am not ready for surrender .

I have struggled a lot about this and I have come to the conclusion

That I will try , I will not give up , although the possibility that this may not give me complete happiness remains , as

I cannot rest in peace otherwise , so simple .

What human beings set as goals never gives them complete happiness , but when they are guided by the spirit they are fulfilled was what I read .

But the spirit that urges me on is the one INSIDE me . So I take this as a guidance of the spirit . I am no Moses , Jesus or Muhammad for the Spirit to guide me from outside .

I have no idea why I think like this ........have fallen in this habit of evaluating each decision spiritually and practically both . It leads to so much unnecessary thinking when

All One really has to do is cut the crap and simply DO IT .

Comedy of terrors

Ok I should really consider becoming a convert... for health reasons.. ROFL..

So my roomy runs in my room with her lappy.. jumping on my bed insisting I watch bigg boss snippets with her.. and bless her soul I haven't laughed so much in such a long time.. we were literally off the bed rolling on the carpet.. laughing our intestines out.. such that my freaking liver still hurts..

hats off to the team for this intricate screening process and zeroing on 14 or count as many retards... some bordering towards psychosis.. so while the fight snippet between sky (who calls himself tht.. wasn't this dude tulsi's psycho son.. now I know why.. LOL) and Pooja Misra (I had to learn her full name.. she deserves at least that.. lmao).. was complete gibberish with entertainment value of million bucks.. I didn't know who to focus on.. both with impeccably retarded facial contortions and expressions.. but in tht remarkable exchange.. I have to give it to the guy... he was miles ahead.. for once bouncer queen went on the backfoot on a yorker.. some of the treasured moments were barbie girl, talking to toilet, oh yeah yeah (my personal fave) and diwani chichori..who writes their dialogues.. I wanna urge him to go the fiction comedy route after this.. ROFL

but that was just the trailer it seems coz today's epi was total comedy of errors.. as sky unlimited took off from where he left the other day.. hoping to get a better competitor this time.. but he lacked his charming gibberish from the other day.. apart from the tu kaun hain.. teri aukaad kya hain.. I guess the dialogue writer was doped.. ROFL.. he yet again chose the wrong one.. or rather diff species.. the ones who cry... or howl to prove a point.. but what was best was this new interpretation of comedy of errors-read terrors.. while fight no.1 took off.. 2 others tried to gather attn.. why should only 2 get footage.. the hapless supporting cast didn't know where to run.. or whom to console.. the hilariously howling victimized girl.. or the AC-DC fuse confuse guy.. or the 'I dont eat a lot.. I am not a child.. stupid american behavior kid' (pray tell me what he meant by american behavior.. brit condescension would be more apt I wld think.. or just white man's burden.. ROFL) or the afghani gal who din't know the difference btw daal and gobi.. (give her some meat will ya).. and finally the queen of terror.. who stood in the bg thinking wth.. these ppl are all taking center stage snatching her performance.. so she comes with a scratched hand and involves the only guy that was left out.. ROFL.. this whole scene in some ways reminded me of the EPIC Mahabharat scene of Jane Bhi Do yaron.. in terms of comedy of errors.. at least I laughed the same amount.. after so long..

What an end.. at 2am barbie cum chucky (from child's play) wants to have the final scream.. ROFL.. but serious consideration does tht babe realize she is projecting a substantial case of schizophrenia in her 'someone or the other is trying to physically harm me' bouts of hers.. or does she completely lack creativity to come up with a different premise.. seriously someone needs to tell her what she is projecting consciously or not.. DOES HAVE A CLINICAL NAME... but wonder who will coz the other 13 are pretty precious too.. what a fitting finale.. when the by-sleepers joke about her captaincy skills and the prospects.. ROFL.. this is turning out to be quite an entertaining piece of gibberish fiction.. 

summing up with my roomies golden words.. this is by far the best after DDs comedy show that came with the caption of NON-STOP NONSENSE.. re-creating a priceless niche unintentionally but doing a fab job.. my only concern.. one of these will win a huge amount of money.. and the rest will sometime or the other face the world again.. god save humanity.. or at least the little fraction of sane ones.. ROFL
