Busy month + End of Tulsi on MBC + Budget 2011

bhoot — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 20:10:34 +0000

I feel bad not having blogged for weeks, and missed Ba’s funeral on Facebook. Here we are finally, the end of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, aka. Tulsi over here… Happy to see 112y+ Ba and 64y Tulsi finally disappeared. I hope nobody remembers them… They should remember the villains: Ansh, Trupti etc…

I’ll have to write a full blog on the goods and bads of the budget 2011… The grave thing is that the government is spending nearly 20B (90B vs 70B) over it’s revenues, in times that businesses and themselves have shouted crisis! There are some good measures for the middle class, and for taxing the upper classes more but… the actual minister is no expert in the matter, and simply cannot match the former finance minister!

Tulsi Lessons/Kiyosaki – When in Business, Build Your Team

bhoot — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:23:52 +0000

I was glad to be home early this Wednesday, it had been days since I came back early enough to have a glimpse of Tulsi. I had hoped that my people have stopped watching it (too bad, at least I dreamed). I was surprised to see that Mihir had been arrested and was being questioned like an ordinary suspect. Here is what are missing:

In his 40 years of business, he did not have legal counsel. Businesses usually work with at least one legal firm, which would provide lawyers to defend the company and yourself… Where did that go? On top of that, rich people may have an army of lawyers!

More missing are his political contacts. How is it possible that such a big businessmen does not know any politician powerful enough to prevent the police (CBI here) from treating him like a criminal. He was even handcuffed in public…

Robert Kiyosaki said in his book (Rich Dad Poor Dad) that when you’re in business, you should have your team. This means, having a legal contact, accountant, financial advisor etc. You would at least need to have basic knowledge to be able to converse with them (they are not employees, contacts, partners). His advice comes from observing how the rich behave.

Well, if you are still not getting the real essence behind this serial is showing… JUST DON’T DO LIKE THE VIRANIS!

Tulsi Tue 20 July – The 4 Lessons of this Episode That Your Mom Will Not Learn

bhoot — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:43:25 +0000

1. Realise that some people won’t change early, not after being kicked 10 times

Tulsi made the gravest mistake by trusting Mandira after being well aware of her character for over 40 years. Agreed that the first time you can forgive, come on even 2-3 times. But not after so many times. Even a dog would have known not to trust Mandira’s word.

2. Running with Sari is Hard

Shobha could not run after Mandira, who wore a knee-high skirt (or dress). Shobha must have work a heavy sari.

3. Know to whom you are donating

Didn’t Tulsi know that Nirmala has earned millions by blackmailing Mandira? Why does she give her peanuts then…

4. Check your alibi

Karan is no fool, he knows the moment you stutter in your words that you might be lying.

Tulsi Tue 13 July – Too lazy to run Ganga, too careless typical villain Trupti

bhoot — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 14:59:23 +0000

I finally decided to write more often about each bit the series that I can. No, I don’t enjoy watching, it’s because I’m fed up of complaining to my family that it ‘s bad.

So this episode showed a silly Ganga, who is supposed to be over 40 and seen all the ways of Trupti. It’s good that she guessed a trap in the old cottage, but she went right into the trap without any weapon, despite doubting the evil intention of Trupti (a hero to me )…

Pa fini, when Trupti was about to fire the house, she remained still. No she is not afraid of fire, but she can’t risk jumping over 1 foot of fire to pursue Trupti (aren’t they the same age? technically, Trupti is much heavier because of fat and jewels so Ganga should be able to run faster!)

Helpless, helpless me, not her to have to endure all that. Why don’t MBC put Sarabhai everyday!

The Beauty of Tulsi KSBKBT – The real heroes are the villains

bhoot — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:55:53 +0000

After try so hard to make my family stop watching Tulsi every night, I came to realise one thing with the recent turn of events on MBC TV. Let me sum up, in the serial, a big climax and story just ended. Another one just started. A few points will show how the writers/directors are intelligent (yeah, may be you didn’t doubt that):

Trupti (a villain) pointed out that for a whole year nobody realised that the fake Tulsi (a.k.a. Juhi) was actually much shorter than the old real one. Really true – it means that the director knew about it!
If you take the information given recently, Tulsi should be aged 63 instead of 70 as on her hospital paper. Makes sense cause when she lost her memory, she had to estimate her age. Similarly, taking that Tulsi is married for 45 years aged the age of 18 gives 63 years old.
Following the above information, and assuming that Mihir is the first child of the first child of Ba, the latter should be aged… 126 years. Ba is 126 years old and is really very very fit to able to make conversations like she does…

It so happens that every villain, during his/her peak, makes sensible decisions, be it Eklavya or now Trupti. The supposedly models, be it Tulsi and bahus, are never learn from their own mistakes. The biggest flagrant is Krishna Tulsi who didn’t make the difference between Laksh’s hand and Eklavya’s hands, implying that she’s either very silly or wanted to get married to Eklavya to get beaten… and not taking the initiative to live her life, out of fear from Tulsi’s feelings that destructive relations are better than a free young widow in love with the right man…

Finally, Tulsi made the same old mistake of trusting a villain, Mandira in court. She’s a hard nut who never learns. Then that would mean that does have a character. A nuthead written by the writers, geniuses who want ordinary people to know by watching, that they should follow the villains to a certain extent, not the inhabitants of Shanti Niketan.

PS. I know I’ve already blogged about it before. Yes, I keep watching it’s dinner time, and I’m polite to accompany family:

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi To Be Banned with KavyAnjali – Lack of realistic storyline

bhoot — Fri, 15 May 2009 20:44:02 +0000

Now you might be an ardent fan of Tulsi (Kyun Ki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi) or Kavya/Anjali of Kavyanjali, but have you once use your logic and asked yourself if events that happen in those serials are rational, even for a child? Here are pitiful examples of recent events in these two nonsense serials:

KT doesn’t check whom she’s marrying. She is so indifferent to Lakshya that she recognises the hand of Eklavya but doesn’t say anything and willingly marries him. Or that she’s so silly or doesn’t love Lakshya that she CAN”T MAKE OUT THE DIFFERENCE between the hands of Eklavya and Lakshya.
One man is arrested for murder in KavyAnjali. Right after the interrogation, he takes out his mobile phone from his pocket and calls the villain. Come on, no murder suspect is interrogated, left in a cell without taking his mobile phone! Doesn’t even happen in Hindi movies…
KT’s mehendi comes out in less than 1 day! Means Lakshya doesn’t love him… Or it’s cheap Mehendi from China! 24 hours for your mehendi to disappear? Impossible even for the cheapest brand!
Over 25 years have passed but Tulsi and most other characters still behave the same as in the past. Now tell me, can someone who’s sane remain the same for all these years. I mean, she didn’t learn by her experience when she’s supposed to be the heroine role model for house wives… And Mihir?
Mihir’s character has changed however, but he still doesn’t trust Tulsi even after years of misunderstanding that would have tought a little child that he should have at least a little trust in his wife… BS… You don’t agree with me? Take a look at other people’s behaviour, especially old ones… No change! It’s impossible, unless you’re mentally sick…
The only freshness comes from Eklavya. He’s the only intelligent character in the serial currently. He thinks, plans and acts. Keeps to his word, is consistent. He has a goal, style and real character. Not just people who react to situations like most other people in the serial. Is he the villain? I don’t care, he’s the only sane person in the serial.

Now you tell me, you did see all that if you even watched Tulsi or KavyAnjali at least once. Hindi movies do have characters, unlike these 2 serials. Good Hindi movies (say from the big banners, Yash Raj Films, Farhan Akhtar, Farah Khan, Bhansali etc) all have strong characters and rational situations, just like any good movie from all around the world.

MBC should at least schedule Tulsi at 10 pm everyday instead of the peak hours at 6.30. Instead, local programs should be encouraged in that time slot, or family entertainers that encourage good behaviour. Even putting the local Naya Ayaam would be better than Tulsi.

One exception to Hindi serials on MBC is Astitva. That’s a contrast from the above two. Simran is every shining, has strong character just like other main characters. The storyline flows smoothly, without wasting footage. It’s not the best in the world, but it’s good. I agree that the hero is not heroic (Abhimanyu’s character is so not-manly) but it’s a lot better than watching Tulsi and KavyAnjali!
