A witty man can make a foolish decision that goes unnoticeable, a foolish man can make a witty decision again increasingly goes unnoticeable. Flaunting all those foolish, witty, happy, angry, every emotional perspective of a person on one big screen is Big Boss. One such reason I choose to write on this subject.
There are thousands of people watching BB. On top of that, some people believe it to be bootless. I can overhear countless minds browsing this right now might wonder how funny to blog about Big Boss. I am not in this place to debate things. I am here to open up what I enjoy and take away from BB.
As when it was first aired (BB Tamil), I was too curious to know what is this show all about? why are people much glued into it? it had all its hype. The pressing factor is the host, our South India’s favorite prominent actor Kamala Hassan.
I was keen to know what are people gonna do wearing mike 24/7 in the absence of mobile, books any means of entertainment. I still remember when the first season aired I and my sister settled on the couch feasting our eyes on every single contestant we were discussing, this guy looks handsome, that girl’s features compliment her looks, this aunty resembles my aunt and these two make a great pair. All those comments and judgments were passed. It was absolute show business. Getting to see people from diverse industry and background it felt like knowing them personally.
As days went past, few contestants conquered our hearts, few earned hatred. I started liking, adoring, hating, and respecting certain contestants in the BB house. Some became companions inside, some fell in relationships. Wondering whether is this going ahead genuinely or is scripted, The BB has reached multiple seasons. It felt like I had good leisure time. I was engrossed in it. I started laughing along with them, cried with them. When someone does something really good inside the house I started liking them. When I see someone doing something aggressive or dirty, it irks me and I get down to hate them. When I calm down and envision, I realized that I would have taken the same false step earlier. There were lots of self-realization moments for me. I admired persons how they can be so strong amidst all the chaos happing in the house. I admired witty players who moved the task with smart play. I also felt pity for contestants who were saying ” Anbu Jaikum”. Eventually, it’s a game show. I was eager to watch a smart player’s strategy. I realized Big Boss was conquering us emotionally. Unknowingly I came about using the Big Boss terminology, I mean the words like trigger, groupism, favoritism, etc. whenever ending up an argument with my sister, I hunt for words to pull her down. The BB terminology is those words just strikes my mind. That’s how the show captivates our minds.
When days passed by it became monotonous. When contestants fought for a few days it was interesting to watch and gossip about but when fighting continued, it all cranked up my mind. When one of the housemate pound on the contestant I like, I felt anger inside me, I was upset. I was emotionally bonded to the show. I assume that’s the victory to the show, to get people glued as one of the contestants himself/herself. We being a family have quarrels among our parents, friends, cousins knowing them for years. It’s obvious to quarrel with people who are from their world.
The BB house is a reflection of ourselves and the people around us. I take away good things from BB contestants and had realization moments as well. Sit back relax and watch when it makes you happy, cry when it makes you sad. When done leave everything behind the chair. Take the positive vibes from there to your day.
