Four more shots please - my views

Four more shots has everything that the modern Indian craves for - sex, success, freedom, individuality and it has everything that is wrong with our lives today - no intimacy, no happiness, no contentment, no spirituality. The show reminds me of a very famous song by Remo which had a line - you are in a crowd but you are always all alone. That's what the series is all about. A successful lawyer, a successful entrepreneur, a successful fitness trainer and a well to do heiress, stuck in their mundane lives. They have broken the glass ceiling - the restrictions that we have all grown up with. No late nights, no booze, shhh no sex, no over spending. But we have material success today we have money to spend but no one to share the success with. So amidst the loud orgasms and loud fuck yous I find miserably lonely successful people don't know how to deal with a life they all aspired for. As Yuval Harari writes in his books Sapiens and Homo Deus, individualism has killed Gods. Mater
