Highway on My Plate

I’m a self confessed TV junkie but most of you already know that by now. Even my dog thinks it's highly strange of me to be glued to the idiot box as soon as I return home from work as opposed to petting its stupid head!

I agree to disagree, as Ron Burgundy a.k.a. Will Ferrell says in the Anchorman. (Further proof of my unnatural fixation to everything that airs on TV, one may think. Again, agree to disagree)

My TV is one of the most important (materialistic) things in my life. That is why, I am a slave to Tata Sky’s whimsical offers and myriad packages that they offer on a monthly basis.
Like the blessed time when NDTV Good Times was showcased for free and my instant favourite was Highway on My Plate.

But alas, Tata Sky made this channel payable for an extra sum of Rs. 30 per month. Oh, never underestimate the evil corporate mind! First they dangle the carrot and get TV addicts like me hooked, line & sinker.
Then they withdraw the string in a mighty hurry. Now, its not about the money. Just my chagrin at devious media plots.

I tried to resist as much as I could - I truly did. But in the end, the very thought of missing Rocky & Mayur’s “Food Quote of the Day” on Highway on My Plate was too overpowering to resist.

So I caved in and got poorer by 30 bucks. And the show is all I look forward to watching on NDTV Good Times ever since I got the connection back.

The show is about two hungry people scouring the highways of India in search of local culinary delicacies. It's also about two extremely witty friends who liven up the show with their hilariously funny comments.

I’m more partial to Rocky than Mayur because as all non-vegetarians would unanimously agree, we tend to stick together through meat and bones.

This was written on the walls of a dhaba they once visited - Tehzeeb se maango, izzat muft milegi. After which they proceeded to ask the cook to call Mr. Tehzeeb so that they could get free Izzat for lunch!
