Its been a forthnight since the DLF IPL has started in SA. I have been totaly sucked into it, late evenings have been spent in front of the telly entirely. Not all matches have been interesting though. The few which have rocked like the super over game between RR and KKR have made up for the rest.
My wife is as interested in cricket as the Americans are in Kabaddi. Hence she does not follow the IPL and she prefers watching the saas-bahu soaps. Now there is a clash in timings as these serials and IPL are both on prime time TV, and both of us want to watch our fav progs. Whenever I am able to watch an entire match without any interruptions from my wife for watching her daily dose of dramas, I consider that as a citi moment of success.
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata has caught the imagination of many women and my wife is no exception. Last evening she could not watch it at 930pm thats when its telecast as I was watching the last few overs of the CSK innings. She got the news from somewhere that Naitik kisses his fiance Akshara(Ms.Khan) in that episode, hence she wanted to watch the repeat telecast at 11:30.Luckily for me RR did not show much of a fight as Yusuf got out early (he cannot do it everytime for RR)and the match was over by 11:15.Now to be frank even I wanted to watch what Naitik and Ms.Khan are upto. But to say I was disappointed is an understatement as the kiss turned out to be just a peck on the cheek(Munna u could do much better beta),but this was itself too much for Ms.Khan as she was all excited after experiencing her first kiss err peck rather!
There is another soap called Choti Bahu which my wife watches. This is at 730 hence this does not clash with IPL,if its a double header evening, as the first match finishes at 715 and the second starts at 8. But I have to miss the pre match show extraa innings T20 where Mandira after hosting cricket shows for so long cannot still distinguish Fine Leg and Long Leg. This serial Choti Bahu is such crap as it borders on soft porn, as the plot is that the protaganist loves the younger sister, long distance love as they have not met each other. Sends his marraige proposal to her, she cannot accept as her elder sister is yet to get married and she sacrifises her love and gets the elder sister married to the guy.phew phew!!!
The best part of IPL has been the blogs written by the Fake IPL player provinding inside info on the KKR team. If anyone of you have read his blog you will make out that this is not any player who is behind the blog but a pro journalist who is getting inside dope from players. Never the less its intresting read.
More on IPL and yeh rishta laters.
PS: We do have a second Tele in our lounge but that is under the control of our kids who watch hungama tv pogo and disney!!!!
