Only yesterday did I witness the maddening rush of contestants being pushed into a swimming pool by MTV VJ Ramona as congratulations followed of being the chosen one for a 'youth soap', as they'd probably like to call it. The show, very ingeniously called 'Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi', is to air in the Mon - Thu slot at 8:00 p.m.
Co-incidently, I banged into MTV again today. The show was an eye-opener. The youth have failed to understand the youth themselves. The biggest problem with the soap is that its an Ektaa Kapoor production (Ektaa Maa, tum dhanya ho!) and the actors are the 'andhon mein kaana raja' types. The story line is only an extension of the present torcherous sob-soaps.
At least MTV doesn't have to worry about occupying the 8:00 p.m. slot for the next five years!

MTV is a waste of time now days, for music videos internet is the best place, and anyways in my college those nerd have downloaded more then 250 GB worth of movies, video songs, celeb clips, porn and what not on the network.... who needs TV ;)

well...MTV with a soap was a huge suprise for me when they announced it on air some time back but give it a thought...there must be something special...or is it like the other 'K's?

Dhaval: If that happens, everytime the kids mess up, they'd fake an accident and pretend they've lost their memory.. *sigh*
Kushagra: Grrr.. 250 GB.. what kind of friggin' college do you go to man!?
Archy: You have to see it to believe it. It really isn't any better or worse.. but just an extension of what you've been witnessing so far.
Patrix: There still remains for Ektaa to launch her own channel.. btw did you know she has a 25% stake in Star TV? Ektaa maa, tum dhanya ho!
