You'll be amazed at what you find on Samachar at 2 a.m. It turns out the Bombay Police are investigating claims that a soap opera is defaming female lawyers, following a petition filed by Ratan Agarwal, the General Secretary of the Young Lawyers' Association. Whether that particular title is something to be proud of is another question entirely, but I must ask - is this really necessary? Have these lawyers never watched a comedy sketch in their lives? Lawyers are the most parodied professionals on earth, and surely it should take more than a mere soap opera to incur their wrath. Yet another example of a few sensitive individuals going ahead and wasting taxpayers' money. Mind you, the Young Lawyers are not too far off the mark. If their move is successful, I will petition against the broadcasting of all Indian soap operas, on the grounds of health concerns. I have felt myself become dumber after being within ten feet of this mindless drivel that passes for prime time entertainment in households throughout India (and now thanks to the good people at Zee and Sony, in New Zealand too), and it is time to stop the pain.
I don't go trawling for the latest news on soap operas, I really don't.

Ekta Kapoor does need to cool it. But sue carefully, Dadaji -- if you attack mainstream bollywood drivel, no one will be able to save you from the bollyboppin' alliance formed between your sister, Dadiji, and the munchkin Naniji. *dun dun dun* of course, i'll be at the scene to take close ups!
FYI: we had a couple of personal crises so your articles weren't posted yet, but please don't worry - they'll be up shortly (hopefully by the end of the weekend).
Take care! Hope the rollercoaster ride calms down a bit for you...
