Lazy Saturday Morning:

I slept very late last night(or must I say early this morning); was held up by a contemporary Italian Americano writer's sweet novella. I woke up groggy at 9:00 A.M (read timing considered banal back home) and promptly went back to my latest muse (read the novella). After dragging myself out of the bed, I settled down on my couch and turned on the T.V (pretty much the usual routine this past year sans the book reading ofcourse) and began watching one of the usual Satuday morning movies that air on T.V. The plot of this movie is pretty much the same, but something right from the beginning struck me as weird. There's the protagonist, who comes to his ex-wife's wedding. What? How? Why? Weird....go back to sleep Sapna, if the caffiene lets you. What a way to start a Saturday!

p.s - The Italians love to cook among other things. Thats the lesson of the day.

90210

Then:


My first exposure to the life of bold, brash and beautiful of L.A was indeed Beverly Hills 90210. Like every other teenager I was hooked to the TV when BH 90210 premiered and remained a loyal and trusted viewer through out its entire run on Star Plus. I think being a teenager made it easier to connect with the characters. I'm making it sound like it feels like P.M.S I'm sure, but trust me it felt good - the fun, fears, tears, jeers, leers and much more.

Now:


Today, some 10 odd years later I watched the second episode of 90210. There are a bevy of new characters. The plot is very similar to the prequel. There's sabotage, intrigue, love, hatred, betrayal, friendship, angst and so many more emotions one faces during school life already rolling out in this series. Kelly and Brenda are back, except that they have masters' degrees now and one of them is a single mom. West Beverly High has not changed one bit and nor have I. I'm still so hooked. But, perhaps now as an adult watching what has happened to people's lives in these 10 long years.
