hottie *ROFL* how about this? we make a soap opera out of it? this way we'll always have ideas at hand to keep the plot interesting....what should we name the it? Desi Madness...a true saga of blah blah blah


Oh please please, i beg you. sadDon't make any soap operas. All those desi soap operas that are running on the cable TV now were started when i was in diapers. You can watch one episode today and watch another 2 months later, and you wouldn't have missed a thing.

Did you know that the US government is considering using our Desi soap operas as their means to torture the POWs in Guantanamo bay.

of course u can arlete tho i feel they dont represent all of us as a whole, just that super crazy subsect that exists and luvs to play mind games within their own family, sure me and 'toolazy2study' say our families are insane, and perhaps they play games, but in the end im sure they're good people..it's just what has become the norm over in india, so if they raised in it, they continue the behavior bc they find it normal.. so causes conflict when kids like me born here and i do things differently, but still trying to be the good kid its really a battle being in my shoes. alot of kid that are 1st generation like myself have this battle.. but it's ok, gotta just make the best of it as best as we can! cool

hey 2lazy2study!! since my fam is kkrazy punjabi, i like to think of the name 'laradkiya chaalakiya' is that too had to say? sticking out tongue

All this talk about Soap reminds me of a very old Pakistani Drama "Dhoop Kinaray". A story about a young intern falling for the attending who was probably twice her age and was very rude serious type. There was nothing racy about the romance like "Greys Anatomy". Infact only once in 13 episodes, he held her hand and still the passion and chemistry they portrayed was magical. It was Love at its best.
I saw it on DVD and for sure it increased my infatuation with the medical profession.
Anyone who understands Urdu/Hindi should watch it.

It refers to people from the Indian sub-continent i.e. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. They share much of their culture and language too [Hindi]

I do not understand ALL of the SOAP shows are the same. Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, brazil. They spend 3 months in the same thing. Is like a long 24hours. because ois stattic.
But that is the idea so people keep waching them.
I remember when I was a child my mom look at soap operas and they where always in the same concept for months. So I think soap operas are for moms or gradnparents.

toolazy:

Say you are happy you just learnt how to differentiate a VT from an Afib with WPW (I hope your husband is a doctor). About me... You know... We all have a side nobody knows about... grin

paheli:

The thing is: the evil twin does not want the oh-so-cute-and-good-hearted Federer's twin brother (his evil demeanor is because of his deep, hidden insecurity - no wonder, with the mother they have: hottie99)! Because as a physician assistant (she's too evil to be a doctor, she doesn't deserve it and resents paheli's successful career as a neurosurgeon at Mayo Clinic), she secretly opened his medical records and discovered he has a brain tumor that will make him blind in one week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shocked

OK, let me study now...

OMG, you're really getting in to the baddie twin's shoes!sticking out tongue

You should have taken up writing shows when the Writers' Guild strike was going on. Producers were desparate for story-writers. You coulda even forgotten the whole Step 3 and match process if you had taken that chance. You coulda made your millions by now..........coolnod

As for me, yeah, neurosurgeon at Mayo......it works! grin
