Highway on my Plate

Friday, January 28th, 2011

For all those backpackers,this show is a boon.Long bike rides or just crusing around in the greens while stopping for a good desi food.This is a very unique concept for a show that doesnt require a huge budget to beckon large number of auidence.Rocky and Mayur visit most of the travelling destinations and give the eateries ratings based on their set parameters.Both vegans and non-vegans can get an idea about ‘where to eat’ while hiking.This show sworn to the hikers for the hikers and by the hikers.A free-and-easy style of bantering about any place and its eatery for anytime of the day.Rightly named ‘highway on my plate.’Watch this show and nextime around,whenever you go on a hike,you know where to stop and have ‘lazzatdar’ easy on your pocket meal.

A show that one can never get bored of and is probably the only program that is franchised by very many english channels on the tele.On a sunday,when you just want to relax and prolly just watch this show with a sip of hot chocklate or something like that.Friends make a huge difference in our lives.They do shape our lives in queer ways.It would be a wish-full thinking to have a family of friends just as this show.If-Ifs and buts were to be given a day and in this case more than a decade to live,we’d all be living rewarding lives enriched with amazing friends,always there all the time.When people from different backgrounds come together and live together,it creates a fantastic realistic living paradise.Each character is so carefully carved and depicted its just fun to watch.When something has had such a legendary success,a phenomena that stands-out all by itself,shouldnt be copied into and made a cheap slapdash like a program on ‘Channel-V’ here.Classics shouldnt be touched,cant be.They stay on the zenith and throw humorous tid-bits as this show does.No matter how many ever times one watches this show,one doesnt feel the humour is ever insistent.Chandler bing and joey can thrown auidence in splits in matter of no time with their timeless comedy.Phoebe’s caricature quirky and honest to the point of being witty.Not a single moment dull or wittyless.Impeccably ironic,sarcastic and funny in its own way.This show for sure rocks for every bite of its comical tid-bits.Can there ever be another Mr.Bing or Joey tribianey or a Racheal,Monica,Ross or a Phoebe?..I’d say no…and with a smug.

Like koffee with Karan this show is hackneyed.Banal twists and blustering are their only cliche they hang on to, in-order to survive in the minds of unlettered youth.Their theme song is as ho-hum as the show perse.They want to make abusing legal,looks like that’s their intrin-’sick’ motto;and this time around,they have Ran-Vijay(oh poor little VJ!:(   ) to join the ill-bred predilection.Little advice for ya,mate….esp since you come out to be more humane as compared to your tonsured confrères.Run-Vijay-Run,before your brain cells get influenced by the demented personified.What is so apparent,unfortunately,this time around too;is that the participants with no calibre/talent tend use ‘humility’ and ‘honesty’ as a tool to enter the show.This has always been the case,however,this time around ‘bromidic usage’ of these qualities that have esscence of a certain standing in human life is exploited to a great extent.When Raghu-Rajiv are so superfilious about their infantile reflexes of anger and toughness,why wont the participant follow suite.Infact they have a problem with studs..coz they weren’t and arent studs and cant be even if they try.They cry out the word called ‘individuality’ when they themselves are supposed to do some soul-searching.These kids,i bet had a very sorry teenage life and it shows how they take their angst out on the participants to compensate for what they have been missing..A***** with all sorts of complex mental disorders think the idea of raising hell is something that do something for the youth?Are we really a foolish auidence to give-in to the fetid-fantasies of growling fool?Shouldn’t the young be encouraged to watch programs like ET now where Entrepreneurship is encouraged?We are what we choose to be.Either you can choose to be a roadie or a progressive mind.Now that choice is yours!
