Soap after soap, they have stereotyped characters, and Indian ladies are hooked on to them for want of something different. I wonder what it would take show different shades of women. I guess there were better serials earlier when people had freedom to experiment. Now a days everyone wants to make risk free money and invest in "proven" products.Saurabhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915090081278199774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988532955719495588.post-67699989635308977342011-12-27T16:47:13.416+05:302011-12-27T16:47:13.416+05:30Ha Ha!

Anyway guess this is our own desi contribution to womens lib? And as you indirectly admit - what ever else they are catchy - addiction to bitchy vamps are much better for health than eating groundnuts!?Sudarshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856307897172912145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988532955719495588.post-5009692857246556602011-12-23T18:15:21.664+05:302011-12-23T18:15:21.664+05:30, I realized that to be the “perfect” woman on Ind..., I realized that to be the “perfect” woman on Indian television, one needed to be a docile housewife and sacrifice everything for the family’s happiness.......even putting up with philandering husbands...........meenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01167512170834065232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988532955719495588.post-88457096171345431642011-12-23T15:21:06.149+05:302011-12-23T15:21:06.149+05:30Thanks Padmaja - and you are so right about the mu...Thanks Padmaja - and you are so right about the music!

Oh, and apart from the sartorial excesses that give the villi away, there is the background music that makes dialogue (inane as it is) seem unnecessary. My little nieces from Ozland could identifying the 'nice ones' from the 'naughty ones' in all the Tamil soaps thanks to the music! Thanks for one more episode: keep it coming!Padmaja Ananthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479752283690316101noreply@blogger.com
