YOGA-MAN!!

is it an animal? is it a fake hair shop? no, it’s yoga-man!

i don’t know how many people are losers enough to have even watched this particular channel which at all times revolves around a saint who performs yoga…day in and day out. but those of you who haven’t checked out this channel, you sure are missing something! with no offence to yoga experts, it can be a laugh riot. i’m not anti-yoga. even if i was, does anybody care? yoga is an art and i believe it must be taught through special institutions. i’m not supportive of the ’spreading yoga through t.v revolution’. i don’t know why, but i’m not. still, does anybody care..?

now, since i’ve recommended this channel i think a li’l review is due. if you are under 30 and bored, watch this channel for pure entertainment. i do not name the channel for security reasons but i’m sure u can find out…that much exercise ought to do you good. at first, you might be turned off by the freakiness of my favourite yoga-man and his scarce attire. and there is always the fear of catching sight of something you might not want to see in your worst nightmare. but despite the weirdness and the sometimes provocative images, one cannot deny that the shows are almost as much fun as an episode of the simpsons.

while sipping on coke and watching yoga-man do unbelievable things with his stomach the other day, i became a tad bit worried though. i was wondering, what if sushma swaraj were to see this channel? she might take it off air like she’d wanted to do with ftv. damn i can only hope she doesn’t ever stumble across yoga-man while channel surfing. and if anyone dares to take it off air, you shall find me leading a protest rally.

yoga-man is an icon. he has fabulous interaction levels with audiences of all ages. he’s funny, witty, talented and fit. not my dream guy, but he’s definitely admirable. what with scams and being involved in various controversies…they only confirm his celebrity status. i admit my version of yoga-man was that of an ignorant 17 year old (yeh i turned that on the 8th!) who couldn’t care less about stuff that’s good for her. so many would not quite agree with it. the grandmom next door for instance, has a different take on this. she’s been cured of many ailments thanks to the expretise of yoga-man. he’s her hero. for me too, he’s a hero. he makes me smile even when i’m down in the dumps. so what if it’s because he’s standing on his head and inhaling half his beard? isn’t that heroic? helping bored people to come out of their boredom is an act of true selflessness. i haven’t come across anyone who can entertain a section of the society and benefit the other. yoga-man will change the world one day. and then you’ll be glad you read this blog! hail yoga-man! jai yoga-manav!
