The Reality Behind Reality Shows
So my favorite Jodi No. 3 aka Rakhi Sawant & her beau Abhishek Awasthi missed out on winning the Nach Baliye crown. Small screen starlets Sanjeeda Sheikh and Aamir Ali walked away with first prize of Rs.2 million, a car and their choreographers Arun and Chetan won Rs.1 million.
No sooner the results were out my cell phone practically went in frenzy mode; text messages, emails and comments on posts related to Rakhi Sawant & Nach Baliye. All wanting to know how the fan was coping with her icon’s loss, some were even expecting a venomous post in retaliation. But honestly speaking, I really don’t give a flying fuck. And no, it’s not the “grapes are sour” sort-ta emotion. In fact I didn’t even watch the finale episode; I was out with friends having a blast while Madam Sawant was shedding (allegedly) crocodile tears. My indifference can also be measured by the fact, that I didn’t even watch the show for my darling Sallu (Salman Khan).
So the question here is – If I don’t give a shit, why the heck am I writing a post about it?
To which my reply is – This post is for those speculating my sudden change of mindset when just the other day I was urging my blog readers to vote for Rakhi.
Nach Baliye 3 Finale
And there can be no other winner.
So come on you nice people out there, better vote for Jodi No. 3.
(Ah! I am gonna be so dead after receiving this month’s phone bill)
Further Analysis of the Ghostly Realm
Since my post on “Top 10 Must-haves in Horror Serials” was so well received, I thought it was time I give you some more details of my knowledge on the subject. So I thought I should give you a sneak peek into my yet unpublished (indeed, unfinished) thesis on “Ghosts of (and on) Television”:
A Rough Classification of Ghosties:
Out of 10 ghosts, on an average, 3 are jilted lovers, 4 are devil worshipers, 4 are convicted criminals (mostly serial killers), while 2 are disciplinarians like jailers and hostel-wardens (my friends tell me there is not much difference between the two), with a shapit aatma (cursed soul) thrown in for good measure.
And no, I am not weak at maths. Some fall in two or more categories.
Now, on to the Part Zwei of the “Must-have’s in Horror Serials”. Continue reading ‘Further Analysis of the Ghostly Realm’
