My first mega serial

I always believed that I am good in writing poetry and stories. (errr..people say). Now I am thinking of doing something really innovative - a mega serial in Tamil. I even managed to get 9:00 to 9:30pm slot in SUN TV as they were really impressed when I narrated my first episode.
Title of my serial is “Akka.” Of course I play according to the rules of the game. (Names of Tamil serials should mean relations like chithi, appa, and onnu vitta periappa…)
Now as my title is fixed I proceeded with my next step- the title song. I am going to have Unnikrishnan and Nithyashree sing it.
First comes a voice of a 6-year-old girl calling “akka” and then the song begins.

Paasam miguntha akka
Unnal en life pucca
Veiyil koluthum Africa
Nee irunthal adhu berikka
Thousand apologies to T. Rajendran as I have copied his style. Yah I also have 22 women with bright colored saris dancing for it near kapaleeshwar temple. Oh it is 9:05pm already, now my story begins.
A well-decorated home…camera moves to the TV. Cricket match goes on but no one is watching. Camera moves to a chair. Preethi is staring at the wall and suddenly starts crying. Close up of Preethi’s face now. Now the camera moves into the kitchen. Jyothi slowly ignites the stove. Cuts aavin milk packet. Close up at the aavin milk packet (one of our sponsor). Now she keeps the vessel over the stove and pours the milk slowly. As she hears a strange noise (only now) she looks out and sees Preethi crying. Camera moves to Jyothi’s face, she feels like crying too. She comes close to Preethi and lifts her hand to touch her.

Akka.................
Now Jyothi who is about to touch Preethi thinks otherwise and takes her hand away. Camera now focusing the mehendi in Jyothi’s hand. Sentiment melts Jyothi’s heart now, that she couldn’t resist and touches Preethi. Now Preethi looks up and says “akka” and with more tears. Camera now focuses on Preethi’s new type chudidhaar neck. Jyothi asks “ en kitta solla maatiyaa…enna problem?” Now Preethi says “akka neeya ippadi kekara? Chinna vayasula ramarajan padathukku kootindu poo nnu kettappo rajinikanth padathukku kotindu poniyee…oru pencil venumnnu ketappo kadai lenthu oru dozen pencil thirudi koduthiyee….akka… naa un kitta solla maateena? Namma paasam eppadi vidum.” Jyothi gets lost into the past memories.

Akka............
Besant nagar Beach. Nikhil is sitting on the sand and looks at his watch. Thinks loudly “enna innum varala?” Few feet away….there stands Naresh. Tensed Naresh bits his nail and thinks loudly, “innikki eppadiyaavadhu pesidanum.” Now comes Nirosha jogging (No “in a chudhidhaar with her handbag”, I follow the rules of the game.) Nikhil comes close to her and says “excuse me…unga kitta konjam pesanum.” Nirosha says “Sollunga (blushes).” Nikhil continues in a romantic tone “ungala engeyo paatha maathiri irrukku”. Nirosha replies “ennakkum appadi thaan thonudhu(blush again).” Naresh, listening to the conversation grabs Nikhil’s shirt and they start fighting. Nirosha and a small crowd start watching… (at the fight not at the shooting)

Akka...................
A small pen cap falls from Naresh’s shirt. Nikhil looks at it and takes out a pen without refill and pencap. Naresh’s looks at it and says “Anna neeya….Nikhilaa nee?” Now Nikhil says “Aaa Naresh neeya?” They now hug (true it happens in tamil serials). Naresh says “namma thangachi mattum irrunthiruntha…refill oda ava enga irrukkaalo?”
Nirosha jumps in with a refill and says “anna… anna,” looking at both. All the three hug. They say “nammala piricha chitthappava pazhi vaanguvoom” All the three take oath to avenge him.

To be continued in the next episode ….

What plan will Nirosha, Naresh and Nikhil make to avenge their chithappa?
What is the reason behind Preethi’s tears?
Will Jyothi help her out?
What is the secret behind Jyothi’s affection?

See that tomorrow in AKKA.
Monday to Friday 9:00 to 9:30pm AKKA only in SUN TV.
Don’t miss it!!

Disclaimer: Oh Great serial makers. This is my first attempt. Please overlook errors if any.
P.S: Planning to make just 380 episodes. I want your feedback.

380 and all is too short, don't you think? Aim for 420. Promise people it will run only for one year, run it for four. Addict people to it. Then lead them like the Pied Piper off into the cliffs.

BWAHAHAHA.

Yes, I am evil. So are all Mega TV serial makers. Ergo, you are evil. Come, let us destroy the mind of the couch potato forever!

BWHAHAHAHA.
