"On this day, November 6, 2008, change has come to India" I mutter to myself with glee as I note that Ekta Kapoor's Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi has finally taken it's last saans. And woe to the millions of housewives out there who find themselves bereft of yet another glycerine, makeup and designer saree filled family saga.
A lot of the housewives out there don't really care as long as they get some program or the other to occupy their time with. Big deal if KSBKB has drawn it's last painstaking breath. There will be others like it; maybe even more 'daring' than it. Ekta's still raking in the moolah, coming up with even weirder serials with plotlines suspiciously like the last 100 movies churned out by Bollywood. This time she's just decided not to start all her serials with K. Sigh. I yearn for the time when they'd air sensible stuff like Alpaviram (Comma/Coma), Margarita and even Woh, which was based on Stephen King's It; with or without his permission.
For now I satisfy myself with Saturday Night Live and laughing at Sarah Palin lookalikes. At least somethings are more watchable than Indian cricket. Let me duck NOW!

2 people are racking their wee brains on this one:
Don't tell me you actually ever watched that stuff?
Ekta Kapoor serials? No, unless my aunt was watching them and I was stuck in the same room; it's fun to mock them. The others - oh yeah!
