Long gone the days of Ekta Kapoor’s “K-Series-Drama-Soaps”. This is the era of web series. Those were the days when we were compelled to stare at the idiot box cause all our housewife mothers used to love the daily soaps. But now the entertainment has got easier and and a lot familiar, thanks to the web series those are really focusing on the world that we can easily relate to. From depicting the daily depression of an IT Employee to the shenanigans of college students, they are totally covering our ebb and flow of experiences.
But don’t you feel a little show-off progression in those series? Or maybe a forced attempt to sound like “21st Generation” by overuse of derogatory words and meaningless discussion of private parts.
At its inception, it seemed to us as an all different taste, but now some of the depiction are hard to gulp in and some are giving way to the evolution of an all new stereotype.
1. Sex chat with Parents
“Kahan hai aise maa-baap?” Well it is important that we should feel free with any sort of sexual discussion with our parents. But I feel, “bachche k pocket se condom nikla toh pehle chappal hi ayegi”. “Ghanta koi baith kr baat karta h yahan.” I literally can not tell them if there is some guy that I am sleeping with. I can not even tell them if there is one guy. And if you can. My dear. You are the blessed one.
2. We have Vagina
Well what is it with the discussion of our reproductive organs in every other second. When we meet our folks, we don’t do that right. Why do we need to make an announcement to the world that we have a vagina and it just refrains to come without a shout-out.
3. Language
Well it seems a trending business in web series that more innovative gaalis will hit more likes and subscribes. Does it have to be that way? We all are accustomed to cursing. But that doesn’t not mean you have to forcibly include it at the end of every sentence. This looks more childish than happening.
4. Dream Different
Judge me all you want. My dream was to work on a 9-5 job and I am not ashamed of the fact. But the way these channels are spreading another stereotype of “must-have-passion-that-is-different” is mockishly blasphemous. Well if you are working in an organisation that does not mean you are a “collared-kutta”. Stop spreading hatred towards the employments.
5. Daaru. Daaru. Sex. Sex
So every other day after office, we have a happening booze party plan. There we meet some stranger with whom I could connect just like that. And voila! Next day I wake up next to him. “Yeh kaun se desh me hota hai? Bhai! Tu India me hai. India. Teri Mumbai bhi India me h.” Here just to speak up to a stranger we need another kind of guts. It never happens “just like that” until it is an arranged marriage.
In case you found the article outrageous enough, cheers! Because it was meant to be. In case you find more points that force you to think and kindle disagreement in your mind too, please do share.
