Serial

Quite often, when I come home for a break, I find that my life resembles the Hindi serial dramas my mother watches on Indian television. All of the essential elements come into play. Status, ego, misunderstandings, disrespect, fear, embarrassment, annoyance, overreactions. Even a thematic soundtrack may be playing in the background. Most certainly, there is never a proper solution to the metaphorical villains that wreak havoc on our lives. They just continue to pop up in new ways every so often. And then there are these moments of pure joy, such as special episodes in which the main characters are getting married. But something always threatens to ruin their happiness, and the saga continues.
