T<\/span><\/p><\/div>

he latest in the line of the great TV moments that broke the <\/span>internet<\/span><\/a> was a clip that kept popping on my social media feed. It was a masterful work of fiction, the kind only Indian television audience can appreciate. The couple in the clip was falling off a cliff, a straight plunge into a valley that was thousands of feet deep, or so we were told because clearly they did not have the VFX budget to actually create anything beyond what looked like propped-up scenery hand-painted by an amateur.\u00a0Bad VFX was, however, the least of that viral clip\u2019s remarkable qualities. What was profound was that the couple was having a lovers\u2019 tiff\u00a0<\/span>while they were falling down<\/span><\/i>. <\/span>\n\nIt was a paradigm-shifting approach to the very idea of creative licence, and a big fuck you to science. Because seriously, when you are the top-rated show on TV, who cares for <\/span>physics<\/span><\/a>?<\/span>\n\nOur falling-and-fighting <\/span>couple<\/span><\/a> is not even the worst (or the best, depending on who you ask) example of what Indian soap defines as creativity. Last year, there was a clip that went viral from some other \u201cpopular\u201d serial, where the protagonist is seen washing a laptop. With soap and water. And then she hangs it on a clothesline to dry for good measure.<\/span>\n\nHere\u2019s a moment to recover.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\u201cWho the hell is writing this,\u201d someone on my feed wondered, aptly summarising a whole <\/span>book\u2019s<\/span><\/a> worth of sentiments in a single sentence. Because seriously, who the hell writes this and gets away with it?<\/span>\n\nUnfortunately, I have a rather specific answer to that question. In a close encounter with the television kind a couple of years ago at a screenwriters\u2019 conference, I had a brush with the greatness that is the mind of a TV writer. I lived to tell the tale and answer the question that everyone with more than two brain cells has been asking ever since the great Ekta became the <\/span>goddess<\/span><\/a> of the Indian living room and ushered in a revolution of progressively and systematically dumbing down the masses<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\n\nAttending any conference is usually a mind-numbing experience. Attending a screenwriter\u2019s conference, if you happen to be a <\/span>writer<\/span><\/a>, however is an experience that can leave you scarred for life. \u00a0<\/span>\n\n

It is about an industry that underpays and overworks its writers, has no intention of nurturing talent, fails to recognise the importance of a good story, and even when it does, almost entirely fails to give credit to the writers behind it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\nThere were 8,000 people, who identified as writers and hoped to \u201cnetwork\u201d during the event, but instead realised the sheer scale of the challenge they had so romantically undertaken. And unlike the high-profile \u201clet\u2019s discuss this over a <\/span>drink<\/span><\/a>\u201d kind of things that entrepreneurs\u2019 conferences are all about, this screenwriters\u2019 gathering was a rather depressing reality check \u2013 as morose as a funeral, fuelled by broken dreams and unshed tears, and of course stale samosas and thandi chai. <\/span>\n\nAs a writer who did not want to have anything to do with the screen, it was an event that came loaded with epiphanies. The most profound panel, of course, was dedicated to the <\/span>TV industry<\/span><\/a>. \u201cQuality content\u201d and \u201csocially relevant\u201d ideas were what a corporate honcho who headed a prominent TV channel thought they believed in. His writers, obviously, begged to differ. <\/span>\n\nA rather intelligent panelist who had clearly chosen the wrong <\/span>industry<\/span><\/a> asked, \u201cWhat do you think the future generations are going to think about our decade when they see the current crop of shows?\u201d It was a scary idea. It was also an empty rhetorical question that had no real takers.<\/span>\n\n\u201cGood girls,\u201d a well-muscled dude in a bright yellow T-shirt with a caption that was cool when Beatles still ruled the charts thundered, \u201cthe audience wants to watch the \u2018good girls!\u2019\u201d<\/span>\n\nThe booming proclamation was welcomed by an awed silence. The <\/span>man<\/span><\/a> of the moment clearly knew what he was talking about. He was, they told me, one of the most successful TV writers with several TRP-topping soaps to his credit. That he was also a blatant misogynist and clearly had no respect for the craft of writing. <\/span>\n\n\u201cDo not insult my audience. They know what they want,\u201d he said, somewhere between a monologue about \u201cgood girls\u201d that made me want to stick a finger in my brain and scratch the entire 15 minutes away. Unfortunately, he was right about the audience. And the fact that the industry clearly did not care about what they were serving so long as it was in demand. <\/span>\n\nEver since that day, every time\u00a0I think of a TV writer, I imagine a room full of muscular dudes drinking protein shakes and discussing how women in a household function, taking references from an era that went obsolete in the \u201960s. I also realise that it is a generalisation as problematic as the yellow T-shirt guy\u2019s \u201cgood girls\u201d. I still cannot help it. <\/span>\n\n\u201cSo, what do you think is going to happen next,\u201d my <\/span>mother<\/span><\/a> asked me a few days ago as soon as the credits for her favourite daily soap rolled. \u201cYou are a writer. You should know.\u201d<\/span>\n\nIt was a perplexing moment for me. On one hand, it was heartening to know that my mother had finally found at least one useful thing about me being a writer. On the other, I did not know how to answer that question without further damaging her rather poor perception of my <\/span>career<\/span><\/a>. Because really what was I supposed to say? That the poor chap who is writing the next episode had a two-hour deadline? That \u201cwriting\u201d is perhaps too generous a term in context of the Indian TV industry? That nobody in the writer\u2019s room is paid enough to give a damn? <\/span>\n\n

It is no wonder that we are stuck in a TV world where women are reduced to garishly made-up caricatures, where science is strangled on a regular basis, and where writing dies a thousand deaths every time a character as much as breathes on screen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\nBecause ultimately, it is not about those muscular dudes or their convictions or even the audience they claim to be catering to. It is about an industry that underpays and overworks its writers, has no intention of nurturing talent, fails to recognise the importance of a good story, and even when it does, almost entirely fails to give credit to the writers behind it. <\/span>\n\nIt is no wonder that we are stuck in a TV world where <\/span>women<\/span><\/a> are reduced to garishly made-up caricatures, where science is strangled on a regular basis, and where writing dies a thousand deaths every time a character as much as breathes on screen. It is a world cursed by writers\u2019 discontent. And unless we learn to value writing as the art it is, it is perhaps the world we deserve.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\nSo what\u2019s the next viral clip going to be? The couple who fell of the cliff make up, start kissing, and ascend the cliff because love has enough power to defy gravity? Or wait, has that already happened? \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
