Peter Petrelli

My favourite character in the most popular TV show “Heroes

Heroes is one of my favourite show and Peter Petrelli played by – Milo Ventimiglia is my favourite character. He totally fits the role; of being lost and trying to figure out ways to fit in. Caught between worlds.

Off all the superpowers if I have to choose one it will be Peter’s superpower to absorb others power.

Enjoy watching Heroes!

Heroes Season 03

My favourite tv show is back…

They were back with a bang, but after few episodes it felt like the script was getting week. The mainstream of season 03 is about “villians” but suddenly it felt like there are more villians then our heroes and also the fear of our heroes moving to the dark side.

I’m sure they realized the show was taking a hit, they let go of two of their production people and have improved the story line too. But no matter what I will always enjoy watching Heroes :-)

Currently they are in the 14th episode.

Show Schedule:

USA: Every Monday

India: Every Tuesday 10 pm on Star World

Enjoy!

Born free!!!

Long ago I saw this movie called “Born Free”. An awesome movie, its about an English couple who try to reintroduce an orphan lion cub back into the wild. The kinda effort they put into making the whole process work, how difficult it is for the lioness to defend herself in the wild when she was brought up as a pet and all the emotional trauma the couple go through letting her go…

Even though the movie was based on a real story end of the day its still a movie. But thanks to a friend I recently got the opportunity to watch a documentary on Discovery channel about a similar story. It was about two tiger cubs in captive and they were brought up by a zoologist. After the cubs grew they decide to let them in to the wild. They spend close to 25 to 30 months to teach them how to hunt and survive in the wild.

It was amazing to see the kinda bond the trainer and the tigers share. Such magnificent animals playing with the guy like how we play with our dogs. But no matter how much we try to keep them with us we know they belong in the wild.

Only when we have a sense of belonging, we feel at home.

Lead India… Disappointing

lead-india-disappointing.jpg

The ads and hoardings for Lead India were very impressive but i could never figure out what it was about. Then when they started playing the promos I realized it was a TV show. So I eagerly awaited to watch it.

Lead India is a reality show, where 8 contestants will compete against each other and they will be judged by Javed Aktar, Kiran Bedi and Vikas Singh. The show will go on for 10 episodes and the winner will receive 50Lks to help complete his/her dream project.

As much as it was a brilliant concept I was very disappointed because the show was hosted in hindi. The idea behind the show is to find the one who has the unique talent and potential to make a huge difference to India. India is a land of multiple languages then why does the show have to be in hindi. Does this not deprive people who do not know hindi from participating in this show and also the ones who wish to watch it.

The show does not say “Lead Mumbai” it says “Lead India” then does it not have to be in a language that is universally spoken across the nation?
