I would turn off the TV and talk to my friend. I would be a little annoyed if it was something that I really wanted to watch ,but if my friend needs to talk about problems or other things, that is more important to me.

@Shivram59 I think that is a different situation. I understand why you find that annoying. It is different if people come over because they need to talk to you about something serious.

@Porcospino My friends come to me only to gossip.They visit me at night when I and they are free.I join them after 8.30 p. m.after watching my favourite serial.I need only half an hour to enjoy and I think I deserve it,don't I ? Only half an hour.

@Nevena83 Yes,I can tell them,but do you know how they would react?.They would laugh,laugh and laugh.They say I misuse my time in watching TV serials.They are too informal with me.

@Shivram59 I believe you. But if you want to have time for yourself, then tell him that.

I have always preferred visits by appointment but there is nothing one can do if there are unannounced guests.

@Shivram59 You should gradually introduce the system of informing you before they knock on your door. One person I know opened the door and politely told the guests that she was on her way out. Guests had to leave (lol)

@Shivram59 Shakti is now stretching the story line.. So, I am not liking it but I loved the concept and the initial few episodes!

@anya12adwi Yes,I know.I'll see it for a week and if it continues to unnecessarily stretch the story,I'll stop watching it..For the same reason I had stopped watching Balika Vadhu.

@anya12adwi It is "Shakti. ...." - the love story of a young man and a transgender on coulours channel. Besides this I watch a comedy - "Bhabhiji ghar par hain. "My friends who visit me are my childhood friends.

@dya80dya LOL!! No,at least my friends don't do so.They don't care whether they are disturbing me. They just keep talking and finally I have to surrender.

@Shivram59 But maybe they will stop if they notice that this bothers you.

@Sreekala You are right. It's a natural phenomenon.But now I have decided not to watch any other serial, because it often prevents me from spending time with my friends.

Sometimes we have to ask others to wait a minute if we are watching something important, such as information for a paper we are writing.
If we are watching nonsense, it is easy enough to turn it off.

@PatAnthony It's not important.It's a TV serial and I found it interesting. Usually I watch news only.
The story is so interesting that I don't like anybody to disturb me when I watch it.

@rakski That's what I do.But even their presence at that time prevents me from watching and enjoying it attentively. They,on the other hand,say I waste my time watching these trash.

@Karenmm Of course,if the guy comes to tell me something important,I'll postpone watching the serial and listen to him.But the problem is that my friends usually come to me to gossip only.

@Karenmm But I know,if I ask my friends to come later,they would feel offended.I watch a TV serial and they say I'm wasting my time.

@Karenmm I'm told that if I'm able to pay more,then I can watch my favourite serials or TV programmes at a time suitable to me.....But I can't afford it.It's too costly.
