Falling in love with your favorite characters!
I was just randomly browsing over my YouTube feed when I got a recommendation for scenes from an old show – Left Right Left. Wait. Before we go ahead… a fair word of caution! In the below paragraphs, we are going to discuss a lot of characters from several shows. If you know Left Right Left, you would know most of the other shows. There are some English series too. But no worries. We will just discuss characters and nothing about the story. Left Right Left is a pretty complex show. I would not be able to tell you much about it even if I wanted to. But what I…

Bollywood vs Indian Television
I heard a quotation a long while ago – The main distinction between portrayal of masculine and feminine characters over the two platforms is quite opposite in nature – In Television, we idolize the feminine characters while fantasizing the masculine characters. Whereas in Bollywood, we idolize the masculine characters and fantasize the feminine characters. It has been literally several years ever since I heard this for the very first time… and all along this quote – this stark difference, has stuck with me and I have been consciously or sub-consciously analyzing all the shows or movies that I watch to find examples to refute this. Now, I do not say…

A wedding to attend
Some twenty years ago I lived in a small town called ‘Mandi’. It is a quiet and lesser knows towns in the picturesque state of Himachal Pradesh. The city is near to the very famous Kullu – Manali stations and IIT has opened in the district. Other than the above two, there is simply nothing out of the ordinary. I was here a great while back. The memories I have of this place are all of daily life – visit to the temple, visit to the market, celebrating festivals in the colony, pretending to be detectives in school, eating, celebrating local festivities, and the other memories that my parents have…

The I-Love-You Conundrum
I LOVE YOU! Often considered to be the three most beautiful words to be ever heard, they are actually misunderstood. Simply putting it, loving someone doesnt mean that you get married to the person, have kids and spend rest of your life with them. I love chocolates but all the fore said things are not possible with chocolates. Now, you would argue that a chocolate is not a living entity. So, I love dogs, especially puppies. Who can not love those tiny bundles of soft fur, button eyes gleaming with innocence and cute faces. Again, you can argue that I am a human. So, let us get more specific. I…

An Ideal Husband
Yesterday, I was watching ‘Khichdi’ television series. It is an Indian Comedy Series and trust me, it is definitely at par with the world popular sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory, is not more. The only thing is that as Hindi aint spoken world-wide, therefore, it still is not famous. Anyways, so you need to know a very little about the show right now. It is about a Gujarati family which is unique in their own way. They have very different mannerisms from the rest of the world and are very happy in the way they are. They are totally insane and will drive you crazy. However, you can not…

Men’s guide to WOO her!!
Okay, with two of my good friends MARRIED!! And many of them committed and in a relationship, I guess I have seen quite a variety of couple, that I can write this article doing some justice to it. You know, I kinda think I am one of those girls, like Geet in Jab We Met, to whom people share their problems. Most of the times, these arent problems. It is very easy to make ‘Blonde’ jokes or joke about girl’s I.Q.s, but it is extremely difficult to understand a girl. Atleast that is what more than half of the world (the man population) says 😛 Trust me guys, it…
