8 (Not always)

8 TV Shows I Love to Watch:
- Reality shows on music and dance, with all the spices added :)
- F.R.I.E.N.D.S
- Radha ki betiyan kuch kar dikhayengi (This show is over now but any show which shows 3 sisters from small town is close to heart. This show is by the same people who had made "banagei apni baat" 16 years ago on Zee and it was a favorite then. All 3 of us, along with Ma ,used to sit and wait for it.
