Monday to Thursday, 8 – 9 pm

Monday to Thursday, 8 – 9 pm – a time slot I have dedicated to the TV these days (ha ha ha!! As if I’m not in front of it any other time during the day :D). Nowadays I’m very much reluctant to go out anywhere, or do some other work at that time. This is what I watch – Kanaa Kaanum Kaalangal (KKK) on Vijay TV.
KKK is a serial for which I would give a ‘U’ certificate (here, I mean to say, most of the serials deserve an ‘A’ certificate. Oops!! No issues.. I meant AUNTY’S ONLY!!). The two best things about this soap are its characters – school students, and the backdrop of the story – PACM School.
KKK reminds me of my own school days at Rajapalayam ( which I’l describe in the following posts). Every time I watch KKK, a faint breeze of those golden old days rocks me. Not only that, but KKK has also made me yearn for certain things. One in at least two scenes have had a similarity with those I had faced when I was at school (obviously most of us have had similar experiences at school and KKK depicts just them, but it’s sweet when you watch them on the screen and think or scream,“hey! It happened to me too!”)
Now coming to the characters and the outline of the story – Bala, Pachai, Pandi, Joe and Raghavi make up a team, while Vineeth, Krish, Sangavi, and two others ( I don remember those names – I’m new to the serial !!) make another group. Bala & Co, and Vineeth & Co are always at logger-heads, never heading for a compromise. Raghavi tries to fill up the rift within these two groups. Rest of the story, you can imagine. But still each episode is fresh, with lots of humor, sentiment, etc etc.
All these guys show great friendship, which lot of us ought to have. You really say, “I would be d happiest guy on earth if I have such a friend like him”, when you see this scene – When Pandi and Bala are not sure whether they’d pass the final Chemistry exam, Joe steals their answer sheets, and as a result, the school decides to waive Chemistry marks to al the students. The scene that follows after Joe confesses his act is scintillating. You see a similar kind of friendship between Vineeth and Krish, when Vineeth tries to save Krish and get him out of drug addiction. These are scenes that really move you and make you realize how valuable good friends are. I ‘m not just getting words to express all of them short and sweet (maybe I’ll learn it soon).
Raghavi – my sweetheart in the serial. I dream of a friend like her. The affection she has on the guys in her group, and the friendship she maintains with the guys of the opposite group, she’s the best friend anybody can have – a syntax for the best friend.
Pachai is one guy I whose character, I feel, was better not included – just for one reason. He tries to propose to Raghavi (HOW DARE HE???) Ha ha…
After starting to watch this soap, I’ve started to realize the value of a good friend. The affection I had on my friends til recently has increased many folds.
Hope I had something like some 20 years bonus with a time-machine, I’d have gone back to my school!!!! But good things don’t happen too frequently :(
