Bigg Boss 2 : Out of sight, out of mind – Rule of the house

Every house has its own rules set by its own members. Today we discuss the rule of the house of big boss which has been religiously followed week after week. The rule of this house is to forget the housemate who is evicted in less then a day.

Every Friday one of the housemates gets evicted. Friday goes away in the mourning over the exit of that member and surprisingly, within 24 hours things become normal. That housemate is not even mentioned in any talks, missing that person is totally out of question.

How many times has the name of Alina Wadiwalla, Sanjay Nirupam or Rakhi Vijan figured in any conversation after their exit?  The hard to believe fact is that not more than once or twice.

The bonds get forgotten as if they never even existed. None of the housemates who has left the house is missed. Rahul Mahajan has not even once talked about his ‘best friend’, Monika Bedi after she left the house. ‘Ketaki Dave’, the motherly figure in the house met a similar fate and so did Rakhi Vijan and many others.  This shows how shallow are the human emotions which develop in the house.

Ashutosh Kaushik even goes to the extent of calling it as a day when his competition further gets reduced. This leaves me wondering if all the housemates are mere competitors and all the beautiful moments they share in the house so insignificant.

There is a striking similarity between the evictions and the release of a bad movie which also coincidentally happens on Friday. Just like the bad movies, the evicted people are also forgotten instantly and then never mentioned. All the bonds get snapped on Friday only to make way for some more opportunist relations.

The desire to stay in the house is so strong amongst the housemates that relations are made and broken, all in day’s time. The members have perfected the art of ‘moving on’. They behave as if no change ever happened and some other housemate starts doing the work the evicted member did. Maybe secretly all of them feel happy about coming one step closer to winning! ‘The show must go on’. The housemates, indeed, know this old adage by heart now.
