Last month witnessed many experimental channels and movies. Although I knew but realizing the fact that “Boredom can force you to do anything”, was quite a different experience. Let me start with the background. Our guestroom Setup Box spiders only know to search Free To Air Channels. And you know what are free channels-Either monotonic government channels or useless private channels. Here we do get DD1 and is good in fact sometimes (is broadcasting India’s Tour to England).Some new channels like ETV and Sahara are also good source of Indian news. Leave them and majority of Tamil, Telgu, Kannada and Malayalam Channels, finally I initially I used to settle for Zee Smile/Zee Music and Star Utsav. One thing that I and majority of my mates here have understood is that you cannot have as repetitive and monotonic Channel like Zee Music. Let it be its songs, promos, Eye Candies, Bol Bachhan and in fact ads also, it will continuously come so many times that you will start hating them. Thanks to this channel now I have become a big fan[:(] of Akshay Kumar(Eye candy For the Month), Roshni Chopra(the cheapest promo in recent past),Nina Manuel(Nina at Nine)[still I can’t understand what is there in this Lady],and the list goes on…

Zee smile is also most of the times coming with some Tele Shopping Show (I think GTB).Many of us have in fact strong memories of those products. Be it Ganesh brand Panchmukhi Rudrakhsh or some junk Rupayaan cream with Jaya Prada giving big lecture, all have now string impact on us. The height is the ad (I don’t know remember which Channel it is) for Om ka Ramayana Agarbatti.In this both Lord Shiva and Goddess Pravati will be passing near by earth. Parvati will say that she is finding it very difficult to visit earth as it is much polluted. In response Lord Shiva will remark “Don’t worry Devi. Om brand Ramayana Agarbatti hai na!!!”

Star Utsav was the savior for us. The most happening 8:30 to 9:30 pm slot was booked by everyone for Disney hour :).

Browsing through the channels also peeped into old Saregama shows and Kichadi and movies like “Baton Baton Mein“,”Dil Se” and “Josh“.Dil Se is the movie I thought I should have watched earlier. Maniratnam movie with lot of sense and great acting by both Shahrukh and Manisha.Ofcourse Preity was there to add glamour. “Baton Baton Mein” starring Amol Palekar and Tina Munim was another eye soother. But the movie that enjoyed most was “Josh”. Generally I am not a fan of Ash, but in this movie she definitely looks amazing and attitude no match at all.

After Zee Music, the second most repetitive [surely not boring ;)] channel was FTV.

Apart from the above mentioned Free To Air channels, we have quality Korean Channels[Thanks to Korean people for not dubbing].Many English movies, live English Premier League and well labeled channels are good time pass here.

Let me turn to the Movie section now. By movies I mean DVD /CD movies. We are blessed with DVD player in every room. Last time limit was set by “Home Delivery”. Some how I think that our guest house video library takes pride in dumping all Height movies. Many of them I have never heard off. Let me start with a relatively good movie “Good Boy, Bad Boy”. It was real fun and was best among the lot, especially Isha SharvaniJ. .Now comes two great movies which exhausted all my energy and even forced me also (people say that I have lot of toleranceJ) to keep myself away fro DVD player for ever. “Jawani Diwani” and “Naksha” back to back backfired so much that I have pledged that I will never watch any Celina Jetly or Sunny Deol movie. Though I hated them before also [Still I cannot understand how Ms Jetly become the Sexiest Bollywood Herione], my hatred and anger against them has crossed all  kind of exponential limits.

Now finally I have settled for my usual stuff. Just Sleep, Sleep and Sleep…..If by any chance wake up, not allow others to sleep ;).
