The other side of Ramayan...

I have never been a fan of television... used to watch the live cricket matches on TV and maybe some movies. Otherwise, TV serials have always been my mum's favourite (much to my father's despise). But of late, I've taken to the idot box once again with the new programme on air. It's on ZEE TV and is titled 'RAVAN'.
I have always been curious to know about the life of Ravan - the mythological 'bad man' of Ramayan. His name is almost symbolic to 'evil'. And what I find so intriguing is that he was very religious and yet so evil... i mean... how could such an intelligent man who was one of the biggest devotees of Lord Shiva, a learned Aryan, be devastatingly evil too? Quite a paradox, i would say...
That's the reason why I never miss this show every week on Saturday (@ 9pm on ZEE TV), as this show is going to tell me (I'm hoping) the lesser known facts about Ravan & his life.
Kudos to the makers of this show and ZEE TV to present such an unconventional programme on TV.

Move over saas-bahus... Ravan is here to rule!
