That's the life ( yeh jeevan hain iss jeevan ka yahi hain yahi hain yahi hain rangroop)hang on there gin chanđ¤Zadu ki jhappi
Thank you. Needed this really badly. đ
Songs, good food and/or sleeping through heavy rains, that's how I am dealing with the shit. Oh, and writing. đ
Songs....there is dearth of good songs these days except for few I sometime listen old songs and i miss golgappa very much so life is boring and mundane here.
I don't listen to modern day songs. And, honestly when I am writing a chapter a song just sticks to my mind playing in a loop. By the time I finish the chapter, I realise the song has also quietly left my mind.
Golgappa, we tried making at home a few times. We would start from scratch - prepare the dough, make puris. The readymade puris that they sell in market doesn't give the right feeling. They are just too hard, imo. Very much like those golden or colorful finger fryums they sell in small packets.
The puris took a few tries but turned out well. Although, the whole preparation is so effort taking and time demanding that just the thought of all the hard work doesn't let us crave golgapas anymorw. Lol.
seems like rains are infused with sleeping pill even i slept through the entire day khumbkaran type....
I know right. I was sleeping a lot and then a few things happened, my sleep became erratic. In the past month there were days I would wake up as early as three and there were nights I couldn't sleep a wink. Real life issues, I tell you.
How have you been? Why do you call yourself a latecomer? Because you joined late? Was GSHP your one and only show or did you watch anything else?
I am good. Trying to get back on the normal routine.
I joined the IF when geet was still on air and had a different username. At that time I wasn't into ff much and when I started the author many good at that had left....I couldn't appreciate their work so the latecomer.
After GHSP I tried watching some like yeh un dino ki baat hain and nimki mukhiya and last yeh rishtein yeh pyar ke none could hook me to the extent geet had except ZGH. .. of late tried Kara para ask suggested by my sister but I ended up finding many loopholes left it halfway and pointed it out to her ( uska bhi maza kharab kia)
Wow. I watched Nimki too! I liked how none - NONE - of the characters were simple. All of them had hues of grey and were very life like and interesting. Every actor could act. Unfortunately, I did not like the way the later episodes shaped.
Un Dinon also I tried. However, there was something massive missing there, I felt. No offence intended, but I guess it had to do with the actors. It could have been an intensely romantic story, but in the end it fell flat somehow.
Kara Para Ask is a waste of time. My mother used to follow it. So I always had a vague idea what was going on. People and their actions frustrated me to the point of pulling my hairs.
ZGH is a nice serial. I liked the girl's character more than the boy's. I used to love the show but then after the third watch, I started finding faults in the guy's character. I did not like how the other woman was a bad woman because she went out with boys and the main girl was idolized because she refused to sit in his car! That's how Zaroon thinks and differentiates between the two. Kashaf is sanskari. And the other is not. Well, by that standards he was a playboy too. Also, the accepting Zaroon's proposal happened too soon. (All my humble opinions, no intention to hurt anyone). It would have been nice to explore the fact that Kashaf was always drawn to him. That under all that initial hatred and rivalry, there was always a simmering attraction. I wanted that narrative! He saves her by burning his own hand. That should have been a turning point as in it should have started her thinking. Instead they made her accept the proposal just based on that scene. I also wanted more of discussions, chit-chats after marriage. Like reminiscing college memories together. They did but not in they way I wanted.
I guess the short format story telling doesn't allow so much. Please excuse me, I get too carried away.
You can try Humsafar if you haven't watched it.
What are you watching? If it's good and assailing, suggest me some.
I am not watching anything these days. I can suggest you a few Asian dramas if you are interested.
