Kkrap Syndrome

The other evening, my brother; who if rumours are to be believed works with an events company, and me just happened to catch one of the K-Serials and man did we squirm in our sofas... MAN Don't they have those censor boards for TV serials... keeping a check on what gets showed on T.V.

These Kkrap serials portray a senseless world where you just know for certain that the other
person is either a bitch or a superbitch. Loud and gaudy make-up, light contact lenses, half a ton of costume jewellery, a wicked expression and is found screaming at the top of her voice! .Oh! and not to forget they have connections to the under of the underworlds!
Everybody in the K-world is either completely good or hopelessly bad. There's the scapegoat; oh did i just mention the heroine and everybody nice to her is good and everybody who's not is just plain evil. Black and white. A world so cleanly divided you can almost see a thick painted line running down it.

Their lives are so warped that i think the main reason that our so called liberated women watch these serials, is because it gives them a kind of dim hope. She thinks - so I’m struggling to keep the house in order, am paying off 300 bills a months, have a kid starting engineering college and an indifferent yet significant husband, but at least my evil sister is not trying to mastermind a murder plan, My husband doesnt have a second wife stashed away in some faraway world... And atleast I know who my parents are....Thank god for that!
