akkam pakkam..serial illa poologam vendum!!


Naan oru thappu panniten...idhuvaraikum chinna vayasulerndhu seyyadha oru mega mistake I made, and regretting it a lot. Perusa onnum illa, theriyama last few days-a rendu tamil serials parka arambichutten. Iraivaaa...why and how on earth do people get the patience to watch the serials, that too seriously and devotedly?

Mudhaldhu was Kalki..yabba saami!! Mudhalla that title song - kalki kalki needhane kalki...theriyamadhan kekkaren, does anyone go to another person and say neenga neenga neengadhane neenga? Like Usha usha, needhane usha?? Enaku theriyadha en per?

Next, adhu eppadi sema vidhyasama situations varudho therila. Not sure how many of you watch it, but for an instance, this varsha-sunil couple. Divorce panvangalam, and the lady will join her ex-husband's office, and once when the peon has to go on an urgent personal work, he'll come to this lady and ask her to serve food to the MD (her ex-spouse)!! Endha oorla the peon goes to a staff member and asks him/her to do his job?? Podha kuraiku lunch hourla utkarndhu indha lady-a ella staff-um kindal panvangalam...endha corporate world-la publica rag panvanga??

Another example is a couple who are separated coz the second wife, who is a doc, didn't save the life of the first wife during her delivery. Andha husband kalki kitta solvanam, my wife/ur sister was murdered by this lady-nu, udane avanga parvallanu mannichuduvangalam. For god's sake, we are not avatars, we are humans, atleast a little anger?? Just an iota?? It's her sister!! mmhmmm...naanga porumaisaali, ellathukum appadiye silent-a poiduvom :)) Can't talk abt all the characters, but indha porumai is testing my porumai!!

Adutha serial was Simran chinna thirai. En podhadha kaalam, I started watching this series where she is the amman (mummmyyyyyy!!) Simran thappum illa, namma thappum illa...aana munnadi vandha amman padathai ellam eduthavanga thappu - KR Vijaya madhiri oru nalla smile, or meena madhiri periya kan that can show anger, or ramya krishnan who can show expressions and dance baratanatyam well - ippadilam parthuttu idhula edhuvume illadha Simran-a amman-a partha?? Andha amman-oda framed pic-la irukara face-a vida chinnadha iruku Simran face :(, doesn't morph well.

Idhoda kadhai pathilam perusa onnum solla mudiyadhu, namma nagathamman, kaliamman madiri inna pira films-oda adhe kadhaidhan - minus the divine appearance. Aana onnu, oru villian kaila gun kodutha, evalo azhaga sudanum? Namma OAK Sundar, edho 5 vayasu kutti paapa kitta diwali gun kodutha madhiri kannai maraichikittu sudarar :)) This is worse than what I did in my 10th, stalling the entire street's traffic under the pretext of trying to burst crackers.

Ok ok, kalki time...me going to have some fun time..

I had the great displeasure of enduring "Chitti" for 2 weeks a couple of years ago, when I had come home to my parents' new place. They had gotten rid of most of my stuff, TV included, and I had to share my TV time with my parents. One thing that was non-negotiable was "Chitti." I remember walking down the street one night and everyone's TV blared the same ad jingle! It was like the whole state was could have been subliminally controlled via this one program! It's a real kodumai. The only Tamil serial that I've ever watched/followed (and enjoyed watching) is the original Marmadesam, because I had read the story and had found it interesting.

been coming here on and off. would initially find it bothersome to read the posts, owing to my lack of patience in going through the transliteration.

guess this is good fun though. am beginning to like the easy going nature of posts - quite the opposite of all the boring stuff that comes to my mind when i sit down to write!

TV - well, i don't even have one. i go by what grouch had to say "i find TV very educative. the moment someone turns it on, i move to the next room and read a book" or something to that effect. the serials are specially lousy because, to me they somehow seem to be intent on portraying people, particularly women, in bad light.

Haha..! The favourite topic of everybody has finally arrived :D

Serials are a serious distraction & very very annoying ones at that! My granparents are loyal followers of Kolangal, Arasi and the likes! It all started with that Alaigal and ever since, the 9-10 slot has always been booked for week days!

It got sooo irritating at a point, that all serials right from 7:30 were being watched, closing our options to watch TV! And then we had to fight for our rights [:D] and made sure that only the serials b/w 9-10 were watched and nothing else! If anybody dares to sit & watch any other serial.. we immediately start giving warnings .... No more serials! Or just ask them to put some other channel :D

am sure watching serial is beter than telling someone what is happening scene by scene. i had to do that for my grandmother soem 10yrs ago. she was hard of hearing and so would sit right below the tv and ask me to sit ebside her and tell what happens in every scene. sathyama kodume da saami:)

Idling in Top Gear, you are right, I enjoyed marma desam too, adhu oru azhagiya nila kaalam :)

Guna, illa illa, that was a temporary fallacy, naan inimel parkala!!

Sindhu, that reminds me of my niece :) She wants to watch Ramayan (4.5 yr old kid), so she suddenly starts demanding "this is my time, ramayan podunga"...ended in me watching that animated Ramayan movie a zillion times!! :))

Coconut chutney, that was a very funny post, I was ROTFL!! :))
