Once again she is in lime light for no good reason. I have never ever watched her family drama of saas-bahu but was never against her because this simulates the microeconomic model of demand and supply. In this competitive market she has full right to sell the commodity market demands. She proved herself as a good entrepreneur and Balaji Telefilms has become the largest television production house in South Asia (but I still feel sorry for her audience which try (may be trying) to emulate its preaching in daily life). Again going by law of economics I am waiting for the day she would cross the break event point. It seems that it has started as she has already tempered with the longest epic and played with Indian sentiments. The Kahani Hamare Mahabharat ki is powered by six pack abs, waxed chests and body tatoos. Thanks to my frnd who encouraged me to see this drama and see the depreciation of Indian literature. Yuddhishtir, the paragon of virtue has looked like a chronic drinker and story has already skipped half of the Mahabharat and started with Draupadi’s Vastraharan which was the turning point and cause of whole Mahabharat. This shows that she was lest interested in showing the real facts rather concern on TRPs. Though lots of things are on its way and lemme wait and see whether loyal audiences of K series will make this a hit which appears to me flash in the pan.
What else is to be seen?
How Draupadi will face the challenge of polyandrist Prerana?
How Bhishma Pitamah override the immortal Baa?
How Yuddhishtir, the epitome of idealism matches the K series hero?

Loss of feminism
Women liberalization, Women empowerment, Women independence and blah blah blah….. these grandiose words have always tickled me and its after effects have always haunted me. It is not that they have nothing in them but we might not have taken them in right spirit. It is same as burden of reservation system the India is currently looming, which dealt with so called deprived caste empowerment which eventually became the bottleneck in talent hunt.
Just tell me what will happen when every Indian became Dhirubhai Ambani, I mean we have 100 crore Dhirubhai., any guesses……
Let me help you….half of them will die from disease, some of them will die from hunger and rest will conquer each other and eventually die. Though this is a hypothetical situation but the idea here was everyone has a role to play in this world and conquering other sphere will always affect ecological balance.
Most importantly, women need to guard against the tendency to 'become like a man' just because of the cultural baggage that seems to convey that anything masculine is somehow superior. Actually, the very idea of deciding what is superior or inferior is very masculine. If you look at life, everything has a role to play. Who said that women are inferior to men? They have many traits which are unique, and men can’t even think to have that. But still this empowerment gimmick created lots of uproar in society.
I could still remember the words of John Gray where he says that “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” which itself means that these r two different species and they can’t be measured in similar barometer.
When we talk about India it boil down to culture and when we talk abt culture it come down to women, the face of Indian culture. When a men walks naked in beach no one complains but when women does this creates tumult.
The whole idea behind this is women should hold its traits (feminism) and practice them regularly which are only things left with this culture else the extra purchasing power and influence of west has already ruined many of it. “Influence of west” seems to be a clichéd which is always been discussed when we talk of culture but still I would like to remind that I am not against modernization but it’s just a words of conservation , conservation of values, conservation of feminism. The feminism won’t take India to top of world but it sure going to make people happier, people will smile more, a little more loving; life would be a little more beautiful and will keep the foundation of our society stable.
It is just an appeal to them that help us to build our society and save our culture. The changes can be only done by the powerful and they are the strength of society. We are neither asking for their freedom nor justifying violence on them nor restricting them to home but as they are known to be home maker, be the one.
