Often the stories don't have consistency and you want to scream when what you thought was a thrilling lead from an earlier thread turns out to be just a blind alley. That's why I gave up watching them. Very little long term satisfaction. One story that did connect things up, at least up until the last year, was Balika Vadhu.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977676093756206414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-31024459876598425802017-02-15T06:31:50.815-08:002017-02-15T06:31:50.815-08:00I can see that watching TV might give us ideas abo...I can see that watching TV might give us ideas about how, or how not, to tackle certain plot lines.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-5648310458334899802017-02-15T06:21:11.722-08:002017-02-15T06:21:11.722-08:00Hi Rachna - I just couldn't get that involved ...Hi Rachna - I just couldn't get that involved ...

It's interesting to note that viewers discuss passionately the way the story is moving in the serial. It goes on to show that they are hooked to it and relate to it as well. I think, it's only the writer who should have the creative liberty to take the story ahead as per his vision. And like you mentioned, you should just enjoy it. :)Shilpa Garghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016927627801620377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-49994768985054893952017-02-10T05:52:00.335-08:002017-02-10T05:52:00.335-08:00Hi Rachna - thanks for coming over and commenting ...Hi Rachna - thanks for coming over and commenting on my recent post.

I'm not watching serials much nowadays, although I was an avid watcher of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thii' years ago. It didn't bother me that I didn't know Hindi well they spoke so slowly, with practically three lines per scene. Nowadays, my family watches episodes of a comedy show called "Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain" to unwind.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977676093756206414noreply@blogger.com
