DOTW: Valentines Day -a display of Love... Or....

Heyy Guys!

How are you all?

Since seert is a bit busy, and has already given us 2 applaudable DOTWs, i thought of coming up with the 3rd after the revival of the forum... which is dieing again! 😔... on the present Valentine's Day.

Pakistani Dramas, known for their realism... decency, they show the intensest [wonder if the word even exists! 🤣]... yeah, so show the intensest of scenes, with the most elegance... and what not... YES! Pakistani serials, REAL pakistani serials are known for the facts listed above...

But today, we see all types of stuff copied and/or produced in the most vulgar ways.

I mean cmon, if you show Daastaan/Daam/MZZB to an indian, who views indian show.. would they hate it?? NO! ofcourse not!

Why would they hate it?? Because its decent? Because they dont wear revealing clothes? or because they are close to reality??? NONE! right?... so why is it that if you're entering the media... you HAVE TO BE EXPOSIVE! WHY?! you can carve a niche' for yourself... make your identity if you want... with your own culture in mind.

Anyone who disagrees, is free to open their hearts and minds out! 😊

Now, similarly, Valentine's day... i know its a beautiful feeling on this day... LOVE LOVE LOVE and Roses... and stuff... but do you think we are doing justice with our country? ok celebrating ... no problem... its another thing... cz we celebrate the Teacher's Day... Father's Day, Mothers Day etc too, without saying all this sshit about it... LOL and as soon as the Vday comes... we become Maulanas! 😆... but celebrate... giving gifts is ok... but PROMOTING IT?? is that ok??

i mean i think Pakistan is promoting Vday more than US and UK!

GUARANTEE!

we show shows.. ads... ask people... promote it in the electronic media and the non-electronic one too! :P

we show shows... and promote the day in every possible way...

Do you think its right?? Dont you think we're promoting it a bit too much???

Do share in your views... 😳

and by the way, in the next line im gonna wish u all a Happy valentine's day... by this im not promoting it... am i?? 🤔

cz if i am... 😆// then i'll maybe edit it! 🤣

hehe

Looking forward to your views guys!

^^ PERFECT!

Interesting topic I shall be back with my views on this


Edited


Well I dont know but Valentines Day has become a big thing in South Asia ..be it India or Pakistan and I think things have gone so far that it has sort of beaten the West ,the kind of commercialization involved is phenomenal and that has sort of added to the whole hype and hoopla arnd this day ....Acc to me this day was never really a part of our culture .....and to get so deeply involved with it and to almost go overboard with it is just a little too much ...though simple wishing and sharing of chocs amongst friends and family is something I am not against and feel is rather sweet and nice


romance is a perception and everyone has there own perception of it ...so what may seem romantic to one may certainly not go down with the other .......but I believe in cute emotional bonding rather than physicality being the top priority of romance

Hey, sorry I've been MIA from this forum. Been sort of really busy and I probably deserve a volley of abuses for abandoning the last DOTW I opened up :\
Nevertheless, I will try to come here when I can. I'll be back later to post my thoughts on this DOTW by Arena (thank you for doing this!).

^^ Your welcome anytime, and will be waiting for your views! 😳

Ok so I'm finally here, and here are my thoughts:

About the first question: I'd like us to be original and decent. If the show can be watched with your parents and elders without cringing or being uncomfortable then it's acceptable for the whole family. And that is how Pakistani tv ought to be. Plus emotions can be expressed in different manners...vulgarity isn't needed to show love.

Now for the V-day thing: I don't celebrate it nor do I believe it should be commemorated along with others days like Mother's Day, Father's Day or whatever else there is. The reason being Islam...I'd actually prefer not to get into this here since this will verge off into a religion debate and that is not what this forum is about. But yes I'm against all those days. The reason why many people are more against Valentine's Day is also b/c it's basis is paganism and Christianity. Furthermore, I have no idea how much they promote it in Pakistan, but trust me it's very big in the Western world, especially North America. Honestly, its origins may have been pagan and/or Christianity but now it's all about capitalism and business making money.

i agree with both of youu...

and yeahh, it is all about capitalism and business now!!

Frankly i fint this day way more irritating than the others!

Don't need to reserve, don't think anyon else is coming.....😆
