The Thinks that Kekta Thinks

After watching many episodes of Balaji's and Kekta Kapoor (I hope I have spelled it right according to her numerology), I have come to the conclusion that soaps are soaps after all, as slippery and as slimy as where you put them for display.So here is to Kekta Kapoor( my business role model)


The Thinks that Kekta Thinks
(Based on Dr.Seuss' The Thinks You Can Think)

Kekta can think up some good stories, that’s what she can do.
Then she puts in her twists and turns, and she turns them into strange weirdoes.
She can think up her titles to start with the letter K
That letter will bring her success that’s what Sunita Menon has to say.

Oh the plots that she thinks up with 5 marriages and 10 divorces.
If that does not work, then her twists take the soap on a different course.
To save money, the same artist in several serials does she employ!
To top it off she kills the characters if they turn into naughty boys.

She draws up long contracts so that her actors don’t run away.
After all, who can tolerate her idiosyncrasies night and day!
She thinks about how her soaps should cater to middle class.
Is ghisi piti morality par akhir kise hoga vishwas?

She thinks of plots, which involve stupid kitchen politics
Of who can cook the better biryani? Or who has a better sense of ethics?
She thinks of her casts as rich middle-aged house wives.
Who don't have a brain to do something meaningful with their lives.

The women folk in her soaps are laden with expensive jewelry.
They also wear designer saris in their kitchen cooking chicken curry.
And when they are finished cooking their husband’s favorite baingan bharta
They poison their husband’s minds when he is back home changing into his kurta.

When she wanted Balaji to go beyond the viewers of Viranis and Agarwals
She thinked up love stories for young folks like that of Kashish and Sujal Garewal.
These soaps have different twist, which involves intense love and jealousies
Which involves rapes, betrayals and murders-Oh why can't Kekta leave her legacy?

Now she has thought up some new thinks that will cater to different audience
But please call them Candy Floss and Crimson Skies-me tired of this K nonsense.
Her first soap called "Hum Paanch" did not have to start with the letter K
Maybe that's why it was a hit-Kekta should think about it some day.


This is my first effort and blogging and letting the world know about my nonsensical efforts.
Au revoir!
Tania

Hey Tania, terrific. How about a tongue-twister limerick based on all those funky serial names. Bet they'd be hard to say and you could create a modern day "Khadak Singh..." type twister.
