Today is the second day of a whole new year. And all I did was sleep and watch a Hindi serial on Zee TV. There was less drama in my day today though. As I watched the actors battle in their field (their roles in the drama) I was very taken aback when I saw a lady, who had supposed to have changed for the better become evil again. That lady who was on a wheel chair, suddenly stood up and claimed that she is now going to start commotions in the family. Why? Because she felt that her family was free from trouble for a long time. And I was so hurt. Why? Why did she want her family to go through more troubles? I thought family members pray every day to make sure things don’t go wrong. I thought they make sure relationships are well taken care of so that the family bond is always tight and strong.
Well I am not a person that will usually get affected with all these serials but yea, I do feel that it is true and it does happen in most homes. Relatives being all nice to you, but deep down they have mixed feelings of insecurity, jealousy and a need to see others suffer. It is really sad. To see us humans like that. When u see animals, the ones considered to not have the ability to think and evaluate the right and the wrong, they seem more loving then us humans!! Always envious of both our cousins, next door neighbors and even our own siblings at times! Why is that so? We are already in the year 2008.
People should be more civilized. Be alert of their needs and acquire them with their own capabilities. And not by forcing it out off people who are weaker. Negative values portrayed by some dramas. Like for an instance. Committing suicide. The whole family, not being able to pay debts or rent or just about anything, all sit and drink poison. Or even the youth nowadays. Got problem with someone, take the parang!! This are not values that we should absorb. We should look at other elements that will lead us to a better life. Values that will make us better people. Values that will alert us that our life nothing but a drama itself. There have been many reviews in the newspaper in the past whereby the citizens of this country have actually suggested removing all Tamil and Hindi dramas and movies. Why is this happening? It’s because of those that do not extract the good values out of it and practice the wrong ones.
Everytime I sit down to watch my Hindi serial, my dad goes, you and your crap. But for me, the reason why I watch it is not only for entertainment purpose but also to learn. The one drama that I never miss is Kasamh Se. And it has all elements in it embedded in different characters to learn from. From those living as rich men in the society, to poor girls who face hardship of life everyday. Not to forget what Indians are famous for, love and care. Everything.
So this is one of my moral books where I pick and learn values. I feel that I do not have to experience these situations to learn. I should watch and learn. Another New Year resolution. Do not just learn blindly. I want to make a difference in the society. I want to try and make all these serial viewers have a whole different perception about what the drama portrays. And not only hate the villain and love the heroic one. So please, learn the drama of life. Do not misinterpret the purpose of some people watching dramas. It’s just another person’s story. Learn from it. Do not discourage people who watch it. Because when people watch, they learn. But do not encourage them from committing mistakes that they do. Help everyone you love. Help your loved ones walk the drama of life.
