Somehow finding solace in the only English movie channel that comes with the least expensive package of satellite channels at home,I happily started watching "Shark Tales" an animation,when 20 mins of the movies went by and mom takes control of the magic wand (read as remote control) sits down to watch her daily dose of soaps...huh....that too hindi daily soaps where every serial has a default concrete base of a palatial house,joint family,a widowed-old -granny,parents,kids,kids's spouses,a destitute aunt,maid,a cunning daughter-in-law along with an innocent one....guess even the stories seem similar...only the caste n crew,title,costumes(hope so) and maybe the channels differ...(oh yeah thr are enough of those channels,worst is when even some tamil channels dub these soaps and telecast them ) 3 hrs....of UTV stars,star utsav,star vijay n raj tv...non-stop...huff....Dinner happened meanwhile,but mom was stuck to the sofa....nay...din move an inch....
Well thats when i start cursing the cable guys under my breath....err yeah an a lil bit was meant for mom too....for interrupting "Shark tales" " :'( Seems like i was loud enough that mom brought a saucer full of my fav variety of mangoes n shoved it into my lap....(ha ha u better console me with such gestures now,cos i m mad at u),So there i m trying to make a fuss about it,i yell to mom,who is now in the kitchen
" huh...maaaa!!! i don want mangoes now,i din ask for them!!! "
N guess what mom says "who cares if u asked for them or not....there is no place left inside the refrigerator....cant throw them away either....finish it of !!!!"
Hmmmm....i don get to watch a movie i want to,instead i get to watch these boring serials....to top it all....this insult....fine....atleast i get to have mangoes now....
