Sach ka saamna :)

Lazing over the weekend, comfortably on my couch, I began flipping across channels to look if any of them were telecasting the repeats of my favourite ‘Sach ka saamna’! And yess.. I could find the ‘Star News’ airing the last few episodes of it.. and with some special power point effects as well !

With all due regards to the ingenuity of the soaps/special-reports, the ‘Star News’ airs, I begin to wonder what a soap like such is capable of! I just read an article about a man, allegedly committing suicide, after watching an episode of ‘Sach ka Saamna’. Seemingly, this man decided to play the game with his wife, who subsequently admitted her affair with another man! And the man hangs himself the next morning. Not disputing the authenticity of the incident, especially because it was being aired on my favorite, ‘Star News’, I really realize what a situation one could get into by just being true...

Despite claiming to be the cultured breed that we are (!?!), do we really have such filthy secrets hiding behind our blameless faces? Nerve is what you need to imprudently get you through. How could we let our boss know how he got cheated, unworried about being thrown out, once we get back! Would we really let go off, the worried spouse sitting at the end of the sofa, for that traitorous bait that waits for the next question to be answered!

Every sinner has a future and every saint a past! Despite the sinner self, to forgive the saint is a choice not most of us would like giving ourselves. Keeping mum on the thin line that separates honesty and sanity, I would rather be an interested viewer as the participants decide between the two…
