It is Only after a gap of 2 long years that I am getting an opportunity to stay at home and I don’t think that in near future I would be getting it again. Of all the cool(read BC) things you can do at home, watching TV is definitely one of them. Firstly to all my IIIT friends, its a heck of a job to be patient enough to let all the advertisements irritate you, bore you and finally compel you to change the channel. Only if there was an option to skip all this and watch only what we want to, which is normally the case with us on our laptops. Anyways having said this, a television set still has its charm and has a lot to offer, especially now with plethora of channels hogging it at all times. Here I would like to list my top 5 “must watch” stuff on TV which obviously I have been watching a lot of late.

5.If you really want to know about the current affairs or catch up with some healthy debate, 9 X news channel is definitely the place to be. Its quick, authentic and the news items cover most of the fields uniformly. The likes of AAJ-TAK are still stuck up with a Rakhi-Mika or a kid in a well story.

4.Roadies 5.0 / TeenDiva / iSuperstar : Watch Mtv for all these reality shows and some more. While Roadies still sucks and TeenDiva has little girls entering into silly politics of whom to vote out, its a nice way to entertain yourself by watching the comical proceedings.

3.9X Music : Watch it not for the continuous stream of bolly songs, but for the animated characters they have created. They are by far the best as far as channels are concerned. Bheegi Billi, Paan Menon are excellent. But badey-chotte easliy take the limelight. You can catch them all the time on the channel cracking silly jokes in their own “tashan”.

2.IPL – Manoranjan ka baap : It is the daily dose of modern day mahayuddh in cricket. For those who love cricket, check out your favourite stars fighting it out in the new format of the game. Those who don’t, just watch it for the hot and sizzling cheer girls , and if it is a RCB match, then Katrina Kaif.

1.Star Cricket – had to be. It is the best thing to have happened to TV for all the cricket fanatics. 24 hours of non-stop cricket. I have seen a range of matches and highlights on it – ranging from Pura cup to county cricket, from T20 WC to 1983 WC, from India Victorious to Lethal Lee – it is a complete package and you just cannot have enough of it.

With these being my top priorities, I also catch up with an EK soap sometimes…hehe…just kidding…I am over them “now”

Song of the day : main hoon ghatokkach, main duniya mein sabse nirala
