Copyrighted plot text was re-added

The text for the plot was yanked straight from http://www.setindia.com/shows/shows_inside.php?id=93.

Please do not include copyrighted material in wikipedia articles (there are some exceptions under the fair use policy, however this most certainly does not fit). Not only is the text in question copyrighted, it is non-encyclopedic in style and content and simply does not belong here. Please don't abuse Wikipedia.

You are as welcome as anyone else to write content, but placing copyrighted material on the site is not helpful. Please take a few minutes to read other articles for TV shows you like to get a sense of how they were written and for what and proper context. By the time I read the first two or three sentences I knew I was reading copyrighted material, not because it reads like the work of a professional writer (not a particularly good one in any case) but because it so clearly was not written for Wikipedia. The writing is way too over the top and forced to be taken as anything other than an advertisement for the show. I don't mean to insult you here, I'm assuming you didn't write it in the first place. I also assume you want the show to have an article that will get the attention and interest of wikipedia users. To do so you need to write in an appropriate, encyclopedic style. Note that the results need not be boring; there are countless articles here that are a joy to read, and are such because of the content rather than the use of a flamboyant and overly dramatic style.

Instead of an obvious ad for the show you might consider providing information on the origin of the show, the writers and actors, the topic, and MOST importantly, explain *why* it is notable. Just being on air is not in and of itself justification. However, with a show with this kind of topic you should have no problem finding interesting things to say. Find quotes (remember, no original research) discussing how it breaks new ground, or how it follows in territory opened by shows such as "Life Goes On" which broke ground by showed a character with a highly stigmatized and physically noticeable condition, Down's Syndrome (I don't now that such statements exist, I'm just pointing out the kind of thing you might look for).

You will find a lot of helpful inforation under Guidelines, Help and Resources, which you can always get to by clicking the Community Portal link on the left-most column of Wikipedia pages. This includes how to get help from other editors and from admins, including live chat online. --Fitzhugh 05:56, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
