"As the world turns" "Passions" "All my children"
I am the last person in the world to get addicted to soap opera's but the Indian "serials" as they are called have reeled me in. Even though they have cheesy sound effects the stars are wearing the newest fashion (definite plus since I need to know what new for the wedding season) and most of the "serials" have a relatively well thought out plot.
I am watching 4 of them at the time.. I start at 8:30 and go on watching the 30 minute shows until 10:30PM. In my opinion if they just made each one longer it wouldn't be so frustrating to the viewer. Unlike shows like "Passion" which have been running since my high school days most Indian soaps are max 1.5-2 yrs long. They finish up and new ones are aired. Thats whats so exciting about them. (Plus if I miss out on an episode I can always go on-line and see whats going to happen since they started in India months previously).
Well in one of the serials I watch, Kasam Se, the story goes something like this...
Its the story about three sisters whose alcoholic dad while taking his last breath told them to go to the city where one of their mother's friends lived. They were told that this friend would take good care of them. Bani (sweet, innocent, older sister), Piya (money hunger bitch), and Rano (a bookworm still in college) packed their bags and went to the city to stay with the friend (Jai Walia - a multi-billionaire).
Once there Jai's sister Jigyasha makes there life hell, while Jai himself falls in love with Piya (the money driven freak), and Pushar ( a simpleton who works for Jai also falls in love with Piya) Its just her lucky day...Jai proposes to Piya she says yes, and then on the day of her wedding she runs off with Pushy to live the middle class life leaving her other 2 sisters to cover for her. Jigyasha (the evil sister of Jai) tells Bani why don't you take her place till she gets back. (In India the brides cover there faces with heavily adorned veils until after the marriage ceremony).
Jai is extremely betrayed and pissed off when he realizes he married Bani instead of Piya. And from that day onwards promises revenge. But luck have it he slowly falls in love with Bani... girlish giggle. And Bani loves him back, but both are too shy to say anything. But then comes another female into the picture (Roshni chopra) she is Jai's old flame and wants him back. ( I guess the whole "I'm already married means little to her"). She reminds him of a secret they share which involves Bani and this scares him.
Turns out on the 29th of June, a dark and stormy night 7 years ago, Jai ran over Bani's mom by accident, with roshni (his then fiancee in the car so of course she knows about it). Jai paid Bani's dad $100, 000.00 to make it go away. The drunk agreed.. and life went on. Bani eventually finds this out from the loving Roshni and she leaves Jai. But he loves her and she him.. so lets see where that goes..
In addition, Piya (the snob) leaves Pushy because he is too poor for her, and comes knocking on Jai's door. Where will that go..? Can you see why I am addicted. I can't even recall the Cell theory in such precision. hehehehe
okay back to studying...
