The O.C. - Orange County

I always knew I cud do it. Write a blog I mean. Was confident of the creative juices in me. And also knew of my ability to not stop blabbering. And it won't stop. It has begun...

Friends arnd me , especially my wingies wud know how obsessed I have become with the series OC these days. Thts Orange County for the uninitiated. For the still ignorant ppl, its a new series on our Lan, teenage drama is wat I wud term it as. But its a lot of fun. Not Comedy, mind u. Just plain fun. Took me 6-7 days to watch the entire series of 45 episodes which have been telecast so far. Ofcourse , there are ppl who have claimed to do it in 3 days. This is not a race guys...!!! But an obsession yes. If u haven't seen it, watch it asap. I m willing to stake my neglible reputation on it. After all I have nthing to lose and well, nthing to gain too. but anything for OC. I am planning to become the official Brand Manager for promoting OC in India.

Wat is it abt OC tht fascinates me ? Its the setting. The situations tht they create. I can claim one victory. I converted my neighbour from non-OC to the OC Club. Actually he was rather forced to. He cudn't help being driven mad by my incessant laughing at the top of my voice at all odd hours. Poor fellow...!! Broke down in just 1 day. I pity his girl friend who saw very little of him cos of me. Sorry gal.

Yet this does not mean tht the series is as great as I m making it sound. I have been known to go overboard with a lot of things and this might be another one of those. After becoming a convert, my neighbur asked me - ' Yaar, I do find the series very amusing and heart warming , but I still can't get to the same decibel levels as u. I asked a cpl of other ppl too and they also don't laugh as much as u do'. I had nthing to say. I gave him a sheepish grin. He took my sheeish grin and went back to his room to move onto the next episode.

If this is not enuff to get u hooked to the series, its probably my fault only. I m probably not good enuff a person as a Brand Manager. Mebbe some1 else shud try it. But do watch it. And blame me for as long as u like it if u don't like it.

But trust me, you will.
