Am OK with IOKK

Among the many things I miss now at Delhi is the Teleserial 'Idhu Oru Kaadhal Kathai' (IOKK).I have not been watching it for more than a week now and will not be getting a chance to follow that atleast for the next 5 months.Gosh! Why is it that the things that we like most in life do not last longer and most often slips from our hand. I never thought that I would one day become glued to a TV serial like this and the reasons are many. Above all it cannot be dismissed like just another serial for it is quite different and quite well written and scripted particularly when it comes to handling of relationships. I am still an anti-teleserial guy when it comes to all those so called soga sagas.

I never believed that sometimes even I would call up and ask someone so desperately as to what had happened just in case I miss an episode or even a small part of it which anyway rarely happens whenever I have the most unfortunate day at ofice.Whatever it is I mostly pack up around 8'o clock from office so that (after a rash ride most often) I won't end up missing the episode.

Once there was this bad day when, though I reached home well in time - 10 mins before 8:30, the house was locked and I realised that I didn't have the key.Most oftenwhoever goes out last would keep the key on the inside rail of the front window, but that day it wasn't done.I desperately called up almost all of my junta, so as to see if someone is on their way to home soon. To my desperationand frustration, the earliest I would be getting the key is only at 9 pm for that guy was coming in a bus and traffic wasplaying havoc with my urgency.I just kept desperately waiting outside and as expected the first guy came in only by 9 pm which in anycase was absolutely unnecessary for me as the episode was already over. I couldn't help being furiousand all I could do is only yell like hell. This only proves my refrain that the things that we like most in life do not last longer and most often slips from our hand - am not that pessimistic but sometimes I have to respect and believe in what statistics says.

There were days when I am sure that I can't leave the office around 8 so as to reach home in time, I call up someone at home on his mobile so that he would keep the mobile next to the TV so that I would atleast listento the serial and see to that I get the hang of it. The dialogue-less frames will be supplemented my running commentary from one of my mates.I really felt kind of happy and had a feeling of togetherness, when I came to know that many youngsters were actually folowing it and they liked it much. This serial has also got a TRP rating of more than 10 and as a matter of difference it seems a larger percentage of this high viewership rating is attributed by many youths following it.

Unlike all those tearsome soaps which revolve around the in-laws and the whole gamut of relatives, this soap is all about an imbalanced quadrangular love. The characters are very less in number with only youngsters in the lead roles.Most often these characters speak through eyes especially Janaki and Sudha.God I can't help without appreciating Janaki (Sruthi) - she has got such powerful eyes andshe is quite refreshing always lending everlasting grace and life to each and every frame.It is better that she speaks for otherwise her wonderful powerful eyes would speak a million words in a second - quite tough to handle and comprehend.Hats off to the team which roped in her.The director should be appreciated for lending a good analytical side to the dialogues which interestingly deal with various angles of relationships.Simple yet so refreshing and appealing.Certain dialogues used in describing and explaining the root causes of misunderstanding and practical steps to get across it are kind of convincing and quite different from the stereotypical scripts.

I think now I should call up someone back in chennai to know what had happened to Janaki -:)
