$RAVE

The Indian series "Bonds of Destiny and Bracelets of Karma" lasted exactly 2000 episodes, 14 years of airtime, and three generations of viewers who aged faster than the main mystery was revealed. The plot started simply: the young man Rajiv loves the girl Pooja, but against them are his mother, aunt, uncle, neighbor, and an unknown man in a turban who ominously appears every 40 episodes.

By the 500th episode, it is revealed that Rajiv is adopted.

By the 800th episode, it is revealed that his real mother is... his mother-in-law.

By the 1100th episode, it is revealed that Rajiv's wife on paper is his mother because she swapped babies in childhood, not knowing she was swapping herself.

By the 1500th episode, the mother-in-law suddenly turns out to be the daughter of her own daughter-in-law because the latter is her reincarnation, but with trust.

At the finale, all the characters gather in the living room and realize:

— husband — son of the wife

— wife — aunt of herself

— mother-in-law — granddaughter of the nephew

— and the main villain was the family lawyer all along.

Everyone cries, hugs, the sitar plays, and the leading voice says: "Family is everything."

Moral:

This series is like an overly inflated rave coin. The further it goes, the louder, more complex, and absurd it becomes, while the values diminish. When everything is connected to everything — nothing makes sense anymore.
