I must say that STAR PLUS is one of the better channels being aired in India. It has definitely more ''oomph'' value than any of the other channels being aired in India but for the K......serials (a.k.a. ekta kapoor). These serials never seem to end or rather, on a pessimistic note,.....THERE SEEMS TO BE NO END IN SIGHT!!!!.....
Initially when these serials started, honestly, I too was hooked to them primarily because they appeared to show our culture, traditions and morals (thank God!....fortunately I do something more productive during this time though I am still unsuccessful in weaning away the rest of my family from this daily
humdrum!!!) ....however as time progressed, these K serials are turning out to be lessons on what not to do in our daily lives ( like for example, I do not remember which one of the K serials it was, it was shown that the younger sister slaps the elder sister, over some mistake done by the elder sister, in front of many people including the family elders and none of the family elders react even a bit!!!....).
Each day, from monday to Thursday, from 10 PM to 11.30 PM, the hammering of the K serials is is done with gusto on the hapless, innocent Indian public as if there was no tomorrow!!!!!!!........ Unfortunately, the other serials produced by others are also seem to be toeing the ekta kapoor line and tailoring their serials to match the histrionics of the K serials, probably in the hoping of garnering valuable brownie points (TRPs) !!!!.......
Just like we have a ''whistle blower'' in the advertising industry to ensure sensible adverts, I think there should be one for the TV Media industry as well.
