Heros - A superb thriller

I am usually a big fan of comedy TV series like Friends, Seinfeld, and 'That 70s Show'. Just when I was looking for a change, my friend Vinodh recommended Heros - the TV series on NBC. To understand the story better, I watched its first episode on Netflix streaming mode. I just loved it! The story, screenplay, suspense, and the cast are all very impressive.

I really loved the touch of Indian elements to the cast, and the inquisitive voice that talks about human purpose and adaptation. I also liked the characterization of the Japanese guy with his little knowledge of English, and the pretty looking cheer leader.

So far, I have watched a handful of episodes in its 1st season. With one episode each day on Netflix, I can catch the latest on TV within a month. If you've never watched it, its time you buckle up and give it a try. Don't miss a superb thriller!

Take Lead... with Unity!

The Lead India campaign by Times of India is receiving an elevated support from fellow Indians. The support from the commoners, celebrities, and bloggers for this campaign is appreciable. They not only make us proud Indians, but also inspire us to make a difference. Here are a few viral videos that promote this campaign. Truly touching...

Emphasizing the importance of unity in diversity yet again... Be it independence struggle or a daily living, Unity works! Check out this video.

The second video is the talk by Amitabji. I especially loved the words... A pulsating dynamic new India is emerging quietly while the world is not watching. An India whose faith in success is far greater than its fear in failure.

I am reminded of the 'India Shining' campaign by the BJP, though launched for complete different reasons.
