Hum Paanch

Earlier this day, I was reading a story of how a business tycoon started a bank and somehow i was reminded of an episode of the famous comedy soap of 90's Hum Paanch.

Well, yes even I was surprised by my memory. I always feel that childhood memories are like the photo albums. Some of the incidents gets clicked by our mind and the picture is refreshed some time in future in some relative environment.

Any how, Hum Paanch was a comedy soap about a family - Anand Mathur, a simple professional aspired a simple life in his regular income with his wife and five daughters.

But God had other plans for him, and his life is more of a adventure every day as his daughters using their creative ability used to always put him in some trouble.

The particular episode which clicked my mind today was when the five girls decide to open a bank as their entrepreneurial venture.

What most strikes me behind the whole concept of the serial is the fact that the girls of a middle class white collar worker always gather the guts to rise above the normal.

Interestingly the people behind the serial chose to name them Mathurs. As in my personal experience Mathurs are in their genes habitual to always lead a simple life with a nice white collar job!

Any Mathur straying from this routine are exception even today especially who live close to the Matur clans!

Similarly, I was not surprised to see when Priyanka Chopra in Fashion was a Mathur. Well not that she was so much as was her parents by the character in the movie.

But, I am not here to showcase the negativity of my clan in always settling for the average but the fact that most of us are above average but have genetically been satisfied souls...

And the best part is that the emerging times of 21st century is leaving behind any and every kind of groupism and are thriving to achieve their dreams.
