TV serial world is changing in Big way. Last Friday ‘24’
serial’s [A USA super duper hit show] hindi version started its run. It has
excellent production value, great characterization, good camera work and crisp
editing. Recently lots of serials have shown very good production value.
There were the good old days when everyone watched ‘Chaya
Geet’, ‘Phool Khele hain Gulshan
Gulshan’, ‘Hum Log’, ‘Buniyad’ and grand dad of all serials ‘Mahabharat’ &
‘Ramayana’. This is about 80’s and 90’s. In English, we used to love watching
‘Alfred Hitchcock Murder mystery’, ‘Here is Lucy’ and all time favorite ‘Star Trek’.
Kids, along with Adults started getting hooked to 'Cartons' Turtle Ninja' 'Malgudi Days' Sundays was fixed for Bollywood Movie on DD, whatever movie was played! If anyone watched TV, he/she watched what everyone else watched.
Things started to
change when Ekta Kapor came and started ‘Sas Bhi Kabi Bahu Thee’. Ladies gulped down this trash like 'Amrut'. Number of
channels exploded and everyone got addicted to TV. Difference being, ‘A’ will
not watch what ‘B’ will like see. ‘Battle of remote’ control started earnestly and
is still ragging.
What are we watching nowadays?

Sat: Diwali is approaching. Dhawani is in Mumbai, trying
to have Dhandiya Blast at Ghatkopar with Phaguni Pathak. But due to huge cyclone
devastating east coast of India, it has started raining again! She is praying to 'Varun' Devta to spare Mumbai so that she can have a Dhandiya Day on Sunday.
Kashyap made
purchased equipments for Wedding season. So I will be having blast at this Diwali, shooting everyone, specially 'Muskan' while testing new equipment.
I am trying to plan a post Diwali Dodeja Cousine picnic.
Work in progress.
We had first conference arranged for XRBIA BA’s at parmar
park. Navin Joshi, BA head was speaker. 40 people were invited and we had planned
everything for 40 people. 12 turned up. Sopan told this is general trend, so do
not worry. Only time will tell how productive it was.
Shyam-Ratna-Moni joined us along with Lali for south Indian
dinner. We all had gala time after dinner, making ‘Toran’ for 4 homes, 4 cars,
3 two wheelers, 2 mandirs.

| This design was attempted by me. I being a humble person, will not say that my creation turned out better then this image. |
 |
| Moni tried to create this art work. I am proud to say that she showed her talent in this field also. With help of imagination, we were able visualize her attempt as above design. |
 |
| Muskan made this style of toran and won the prize of best toran competition. Her attempt to bribe judges was futile, as her competition was very weak. |
Sun: It is Dassera Day. Big advertisement has come in Times
for XRBIA. So we would be working for half day, and hope to have good ' Boni' on this day.
