Potty ghar-ghar ki

[1]

Kya samajhte hain yeh serial walle? Do they think that whatever c**p they dish out, that too one tiny, cr**** droplet per evening, people will just gather around their TV sets and savour it? Unfortunately, they are right.
Kisi bhi serial ko dekh lo. If you watch one episode today, where a bahu announces that she is going to take a dump, you could return to that serial six months later and the bahu would still not have reached the toilet, because the whole house and all distant relatives would be engaged in heated discussions about why exactly bahu is going to do potty now, in the afternoon!

Her saas would be throwing aankhon se daggers and embarrassing bahu by asking her about her khandan’s potty parampara and shitty sanskar. Bahu’s sister-in-law, angry that maharani is prancing off to the toilet and not helping with shaam ka nashta, would begin gossiping about this untimely stool call and link it to the missing katori of kheer, in pursuit of which 50 previous episodes were spent.
Bahu’s own parivaar, i.e. her maika, would receive details of their daughter’s bowel movements from the roving chudail Jiji, and would be worried silly about how this untimely dump is going to destroy their daughter’s life. And so this will go on for a year, with bahu holding on to her potty till Diwali.
Don’t believe me, switch to Saath Nibhana Saathiya (Star TV), one of the top serials in the country today. The serial's story is about Gopi, Ms Worried Lips. An orphan brought up by mean Mami Urmila, Gopi gets married into a rich family – to Kokila-ben’s son Aham. Gopi is sweet and simple, but Kokila is an angry hippo with a large juddering behind and lethal lips.
Colourful dayen Urmila ensures that her own daughter Rashi, who is very chaloo, gets married to Kokila’s sister-in-law Hetal’s son Jigar. Now both Gopi and Rashi are in the same house and one of them is plotting stuff.
That's the main plotline, and this is what happened in the last seven episodes of Saathiya: Episode 1, Urmila twists her foot. Episode 2, Urmila tells Rashi about her twisted foot and wants her to come over and help with household chores. But kaamchor Rashi sends Gopi to belo diet khakras for Urmila. Episode 3, Aham tries to call Gopi but can’t get through. Episode 4, Aham gets through to Gopi and yells at her for not telling him that she’ll be going to her Mami’s house. Episode 5, Aham really misses Gopi. Episode 6, Aham goes to pick up Gopi — a 20-minute drive in a 30-minute episode. Episode 7, Aham picks up Gopi and they both have kulfi...
I’m seriously thinking of working on my story, Potty Ghar-Ghar Ki, while having kulfi.
