Our memories are linked together
because of the cable with standard channels
since television wrested the power from
community chores and agrarian conversations.
Who hasn't wasted her/his time flipping
through serials and shows-gripped by
epilepsy inducing camera movements
of Sass be Kabi Bahu Thi and other Ks
from the tormented brain of Ekta Kapoor-
Though I never followed the story line...
The characters(lady villains, poor sedha,sadha
henpecked mama's boys) Indian men forever
saving Indian culture from feminists and lesbians(must be daddy issues)
the threat of marriage looming over miniskirts-
virgins are prized but also must be thrown over
with insurance cover- oh! how the men suffer..
will their suffering ever be over?.
