प्रश्न
Do you watch TV serials? Which ones?
उत्तर
Yes, I like to watch TV serials. My favorite of them is "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah." With its lighter humour and likeable characters, this show makes me smile. It's both comforting and exciting how it shows the regular lives of the Gokuldham Co-operative Housing Society residents and their unity in variety. Every episode of this pleasant vacation promises joy and humour, so I look forward to seeing it.
