There is a fixed set of channels that I surf on TV – Star World, Zee Café, Movie Channels and English News Channels (the font size, vocabulary and background music of Hindi News Channels don’t suit my sensibilities). It is only by chance that I landed on Fox History & Traveller, and I was pleasantly surprised to catch this new Travel show that goes on to explore what is it with “Indian Men”. Hosted by actress Sugandha Garg and model Indrani Dasgupta, the programme is breezy, fun and entertaining. I have seen the Delhi episode and the Goa one.
In the Delhi episode, when Sugandha asks a Delhi guy what is it that makes Delhi men more aggressive than men anywhere else in India Punjab , the quality of “butter chicken” improves and so does the aggression of men. While you see they don’t make such good “butter chicken” in South or in Mumbai, for that matter. Well, that was one smart and witty answer.
Next show is on Jaipur.Catch the show timings here.

Loved the line - "the font size, vocabulary and background music of Hindi News Channels don’t suit my sensibilities" :D
ReplyDeleteHave you tried TLC (previously Discovery Travel & Living)? Quite a few of their shows are very good.
And isn't it true about the Hindi News Channels! They create a half-hour episode on a one-line news piece.
ReplyDeleteHaven't explored TLC yet, as I don't watch much TV. But I have liked the few episodes I have seen of 'Royal Rajasthan on Wheels' on NDTV Good Times.
ok, will catch it sometime soon :)
ReplyDeleteYou must...it is really fun. I loved both the episodes. Do share your views on the show, after all it is on "Indian men" :-)
ReplyDeleteGot it! Will do :-)
ReplyDeletedropped in to say hi:)
ReplyDeleteHi Ramesh, good to see you here. Thanks for dropping by. Btw, have you seen this programme? It is good one.
ReplyDeleteAfter the arrival of kiddo, i find no time to watch my own shows in between mom's serials and wife's movies *sighs* History and Travel channels are my fav. Checked the show timings bah! they didn't include Bangalore and Chennai.
ReplyDelete@ Lakshmi Rajan - Hi, thanks for dropping by :) Even I am surprised they did not include Chennai and Bangalore! But I am sure eventually they would.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to TV, many a households are disturbed due to different interests. Therefore, I consciously avoid getting too much involved with it. I don't follow any show. I like this show, but I don't even follow this one. You know, these days you can catch everything on net, so one is never going to really miss anything forever :)
The visit was useful. Content was really very informative. From www.rightbooks.in
ReplyDeleteYes,
ReplyDeleteI too caught the first episode of Delhi.
My take:it's too good for one hour entertainment, too spicy, too fast.
But, it lakes research and insights. (According to me)
But I manage to follow it btw..:P
Obviously because of Sungandha's way of anchoring.
A camera goes beyond the mere picture capturing ability, when it welcomes all the color of life into the photographed object. When you photograph something, you wish to make sure that it appears at its best appearance on your camera lens. The art of digital photography, in Fuji digital cameras is what that performs this act with the brilliance in balancing all the parameters. Just look at www.rightgadgets.in/it.asp?C=Fuji&it=Fuji-Camera&ct=2 to know what magic RightGadgets.in has created for you now.
