Marital discord toh is so passé. Aaj kal toh pre-marital discord ka fashion hai. Jahan dekho wahan couples are struggling to stay together till the caterer cuts pyaaz-lassan. Tanav ke kaaran? Anything and everything: He is very busy; he is always at home. She is very homely; she wears tiny clothes. She is a social climber; he is a social embarrassment. She has an ex; he has a side dish. She beats me; he beats me. She is after my money; he is after my body.

Kya aapne kabhi kisi shiny-shiny, bright-bright star ko slowly-slowly implode hote dekha hai? Maine dekha hai, in ongoing installments, on my television screen. And it’s not pleasant viewing. It is heart wrenching.
