Article#30: Anchoring


Out of many professions in the world, Anchoring is the one I love most because it gives me a chance to be on stage for maximum time. This article is all about my dream to host a show if I become an anchor. Mostly, it is inspired by a famous Indian talk show.
Do you watch Koffee with Karan? I want to host a similar show called ‘Giridhar’s Garady’. I will be the host and weekly or bi-weekly I would have one guest. I will take the interview of the person and make a video of that for circulation in the social media platforms. Each video would be unique and I want to shoot at different locations based on the feasibility of the guest like in any of our homes or a park or a shopping mall, etc. Unlike the TV shows, I don’t want it to be a scripted one. I want to think of as many new questions as I can. I want to be creative enough to pull guests as well as viewers for my show.
Now you would ask me why I was so inspired by this show. This is because Koffee with Karan is noted for its uniqueness especially that of Johar's style of hosting. Its success is credited, in particular, to the fact that it is able to rope in some of the biggest names in the Indian entertainment industry. Most of his guests Johar considers his friends and he mentions that due to that relationship, he has to "strike a balance between being over-cautious and over-friendly. In what is called his "trademark chatty manner", Johar is seen "coaxing the guests, cajoling them and grilling them" and it is indeed "their confessions and revelations" that generate the most media attention. Specifically the rapid fire segment of the show has garnered the most notoriety, being dubbed "infamous" for the statements made during the round which are often revealing. That’s it, the show got huge popularity, fan following. There are 15 million twitter followers and almost same number of views for the show. I love to host such shows.
My show comprises of 4 segments
1.       Introduction Segment -> Here I will ask some general basic questions like hobbies, profession, something that makes one unique, etc.
2.       Just Imagine Segment -> Here Guest will be given a situation to imagine himself like say he is left alone in a jungle, what is he going to do?
3.       Rapid Fire Segment -> Here the person will be asked to make a choice out of two like Green or red, Sun or moon, etc.
4.       Surprise Segment -> Here I would surprise the Guest by showing him/her the video of their family and friends describing them.
To conclude, if I could do this kind of show, I am sure I would be on top of the world. I believe one day my dream would definitely come true. Do you also have any dreams as such? Give a thought.

Article #76 : The Kashmir Diaries

Kashmir is known as “The Paradise on Earth ”. It is a universally acknowledged fact and I am nowhere an exception to disagree. In fact, those who have visited this place like me will strongly agree.

The Snowcapped mountains that are blue and white in color, the various types of Chinar , Poplar, Deodar, Pine trees, the lakes and rivers, the valleys, mesmerize you as you travel all the way in Kashmir.

Article #77 : The Third Wheel

How many of you heard the phrase, “Two’s company, three’s a crowd”? Well, the third wheel on a vehicle where only two are needed is redundant and out of place. But what will happen if a third wheel tries to forcibly get into a vehicle? Let me share the answer with the help of a story based on real life incidents.  Once upon a time in one of the popular cities of India, there used to be a newly married couple. Both, husband and wife were IT professionals, all thanks to the corona and lockdown, in just one year of their marriage, they were blessed with WFH. But I like your imagination. The wife’s mother or the husband’s mother-in-law was a single lady at home. Since she was free all day, she used to be curious to know what was happening in her daughter’s life. By this time, you would have understood the lead role in our story, it was neither the husband nor the wife, but the wife’s mother or the husband’s mother-in-law. To avoid confusion, let me call our lead - the third wheel. Ear...

Article#20: Mythology

India is known for its own traditions, culture and wide variety of religions. The beauty of this country lies in the coexistence of people with different customs. Whatever we follow today is inherited from our previous generations and there comes our mythologies that pave a path for what we do. Here's Giridhar coming back after a while with this beautiful concept. This article is all about the Hindu mythology, some of the rare unknown facts from the epics Ramayana and Mahabharatha that has a lot to teach. Most of us believe in the statement that everything happens for a reason. Yes, that is true, it happened even in our epic, "Ramayana". Before the incarnation of Lord Vishnu as Rama, his devotee Naarad falls for the beauty of a princess called Srimati, the daughter of King Sheel Nidhi. He gets to know about her from his friend Parvato. He even wants to attend her Swayamvar wherein the princess can choose one among the kings of various kingdoms. However, he goes in a daz...
