Remember watching Ramayana on TV? How the characters used to shoot an arrow. Next thing tht you know-there were hundreds of them flying happily at their targets. Then there used to be an advertisement. After the show's return, the arrows were still travelling. I never figured that out. Then 'Mahabharat' happened on TV. But those same damn arrows(there were no RFID tags/bill marks then) were still travelling! How on earth did they travel from Ramayana to Mahabharata. I'm still left wondering! But things have improved...And some things remain the same. Nowadays we have the same actors playing the same roles on different channels. Some of those arrows have hit the serial directors,hence they have stopped thinking. Some have hit the models. Hence they have stopped eating. Some of the arrows are circling our planet. Remember they knocked down some of the recent space shuttles. But few are left and they might hit us anytime....so keep running.
