In a sprawling bungalow on delhi's posh hailey road,Justice Laxmi Narayan Thakur and his wife Mamta spend their days watching anxiously over their five beautiful (but troublesome) alphabetically named daughters.

Anjini,married but childless and an incorrigible flirt ; Binodini,very worried about her children's part in the family property ; Chandralekha,who eloped with a foreigner on the eve of her wedding ; Eshwari,who is just a little too popular at modern school barakhamba road ; and the judge's fav (though fathers shouldn't have favourites) : the quietly fiery Debjani, champion of all the stray animals on hailey road,who reads the english news on DD and clashes constantly with investigative journalist Dylan Singh Shekhawat,he of shinning professional credentials but tarnished personal reputation, crushingly dismissive of her employer's 'state-sponsored propoganda' but always seeking       her out with half-sarcastic, half-intrigued dark eyes.

Sex and Death in Skeleton City

29 parts Complete

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
