Give Me a Breakkkkkkkkkkk

I am sure all of us have this once upon a time luxury item we call it as the idiot box at our homes in all shapes and sizes 16 inches...to 32 inches...and the plasma one as good as a mini-theatre..and tune into it everyday…..Also we have our share of favourites...comic series to epic sagas to adventure sports …..star to sony to zee to mtv ….. doordarshan…channels of all types…....going down the memory lane am reminded of serials like Hum Paanch..Dekh Bhai..Dekh..Shrimaan Shrimati..Dennis the menace……to the Sunday mrngs…Mowgli ..and the epic like Ramyana…Chandrakaanta…the list is endlesss….those were the lovely days of my life.....coming form school..throwing the bag...and watching boogie woogie...returnig from my flashback ….
today we still watch the …evergreen Tom & Jerry on the cartoon n/w…and every kids fav Shinchan…to Roadies on Mtv ...or the stocks on cnbc... the most entertaining news channel
Aaaaj tak and indiaaaaa tv……n how can I forget our famous and hilarious soaps like Tarak Mehta ka ooltah chasmah and the colors top-rated Balika vadhu…and league after league ..season after season……may be football or cricket..
My only problem in this whole scenario is the big long and repetitive breaks…..
At times it just puts someone’s patience to test..
…………….Sometimes I am fortunate enough to rush to my remote control and press the “mute” button on time..
Ads like that of Vodafone zoo-zoos are always fun to watch but the decade old ads are so much in-grilled in us that we almost remember every line ..and almost byheart…....................
I wonder at times what the whole advertisement had to do with the product endorsed..absolutely no connection…but such is the ad-world…..very innovative and absolutely creative…..and so now breaks are a part and parcel of my life tooo..whether or not I want one..I need to have that break after every five minutes if I want to watch the whole serial or movie for this is a whole package cum offer……with ur fav serials ur bombarded with ads which come just free free free…
So guys….……whether u have a kit-kat or not but do have a break(hehe)….….lols

  2. well written. but ur overuse of "...." was a bit frustrating! :(
    the start was good. but i expect u to look at the situation from more angles. as i said earlier too, ur starts and ends are really good.. but the point that you want to convey , that doesnt come out in the way i expect out of u... keep writing, i will keep following ur blog :)...
