Vishwas is a software engineer who spends over 12 hours online every day. His great escape involves logging in to catch his daily dose of comic relief in form of online soaps in bite-size episodes every day.

''Its a great source of relief for us after a hard day's work or a long meeting. Its just three minutes and its funny. Its an excellent concept,'' said Vishwas Udupa, IT Professional.
