Meet The Therapists

I finally figured out why soap operas, both English and desi, are so popular. Those characters have it so tough, your life seems blissful in comparison.

You had a bad day. Bad boss, traffic jams, blah blah blah.

The lady on screen: has a boss that’s sexually harassing her, her husband is having an affair with her best friend, whose husband she had a one night stand with and is still attracted to and the aforementioned boss just found out about it.

Think about it. Doesn’t that make you feel a little bit better? I call it soap therapy. And what’s more every channel has a similar story running almost 24/7 so you never need to stick to a timeline. It’s bloody brilliant.

Take it from me the ‘I-might-be-unemployed-soon-and-growing-to-be-a-fat-cow-thanks-to my-chocolates-keep-depression-away-theory’ woman – soap therapy actually works.

In fact, I am considering marketing my soap therapy idea as anti-depression packages customized to meet your need and problem. Any customers out there?
