Hello all
Yesterday , it was the first day of Ramadan.i just relaxed after IFTAR to see anything noticeable . there were lots of Gulf Soap Opera , I just watch one minute or two to see the extraordinary richness and wealth and to have a look at the furniture not the people
With all the respect to my brothers and sisters there , but they discuss trivial matters .

Once I saw one episode from a famous soap opera , the actresses were wearing inappropriate clothing and putting flashy make-up inside their homes, its not real . its fantasy.”How could an actress woke up from her bed , as if she was at the hairdressers”

Secondly , all the actors and actresses were discussing AIDS , whether they were infected or not.
Where are we? ARE WE IN THE WORST IMMORAL PLACE ON EARTH SURE. NOT

SO Where is the moral here?

Plz I hope to see one soap opera as the ones we used to watch ten years ago “LAIALI EL HELMEA, RAFAT AL HAJAN”

Thanks for this round up Ayesha. Having been away (for the fourth Ramadan in a row), I don’t feel I have missed much as far as television is concerned! Not that I was glued to my TV set when I was home that is!
