Vision: 2025. A.D.

The scenario in entertainment field is much the same as it used to be at the end of the previous century and the start of this century. However, there are quite a few adjustments in place.

The Star Plus that has been airing the Ekta Kapoor serials for a long long time, has now been taken over by Ekta Kapoor herself and rechristened the channel as ‘Ekta Minus’, leaving the ‘ka’ to her serial titles (all her serials start with ‘Ka) and ‘poor’ to the Star Plus, from her last name ‘Kapoor’. Poor Star plus now setting up a channel ‘Star divide’ and pursuing for an Ekta look alike.

Then, the serial ‘Kyonki saas bhi kabhi bhahu thi’ is extended beyond anybody’s imagination. Today in its 116349 th episode, the bahu (years ago played by Smrithi Irani, now a minister at the Center), plots to kill her hubby’s foreign girl friend. That day she is dressed dreadfully for the cause, with some heavy make up on her face, sporting an awful bindi on her forehead much resembling both the 2021 tribal Asiao-African Himalayan trekking logo and North American divorced men association insignia. Then wearing heavy metal chandeliers on both her ears to keep balance, then sporting a ‘die to hell’ dark glasses covering not only her eyes but also the best part of her face. Then a glossy terrorized red lip paint (you will excuse my language) applied on her lips to give more to her already devilish look. Then she wears a designed sari, with lots and lots of gold-wired embroidery done with ridicules details, to give a weird look, both to the sari and the onlookers. There are so many chains that remind you of handcuffs used by police and chains that used to tie down the elephants, decked around her neck.

Now, she calls from her invisible mobile phone. She speaks to one guy who is more terribly dressed than she is. She flushes few words into the invisible phone, much enough to eat away twelve minutes. The man says ‘
Ji madam ji, main vus ladki ko jeene nahin doonga. Woh tho tadap tadap ke mar jaayegi.’

Then in the next scene, the girl friend of the bahu’s husband is dragged into a room and locked up with her hands tied at the back, by the guy. Then he turned on a switch and increased the volume on to 194 dB. The girl in the room is desperate to get out, bangs the door with her legs, and screams at the top of her voice. Two hours passed the screaming slowed down. Then after five hours thirty-three minutes, the screaming and the banging both stopped at once. Then the guy put off the switch and the sound, opened the door, and found the girl completely dead on the floor, with blood oozing from the ears.

The bahu thanked the Guy responsible for planning the murder of the girl and paid him 300 crores. The Guy thanked her, took the body in one hand and a set of CDs in another hand, and made his way out. The bahu stopped him and asked out of inquisitiveness, what stuff the CDs contained.

The Guy replied 'old episodes of ‘Kyo khi Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’

Dear,
It is hard to read your blog with such contrasting font colours.Consider my advice and chage the font colur or background which makes it more readable.

P.S :I agree that for readers it is the shades of the subject that matters but not that of the font ;)
Please note: No offeence meant.

thank you,
