The Joy Of Eco Love And Living Your Dream Is More Widespread Than You Think.
The Channe4 show, Grand Designs,
in which TV presenter Kevin McCloud
follows some of Britain's most ambitious self-building projects, as intrepid
individuals attempt to design and construct the home of their dreams, is
exciting as the episodes depict how the almost impossible dreams of people
somehow materialise. But one always wondered if the price in terms of the
financial, physical and psychological struggle was worth it.
That was why when one of my close
friends and colleague told me a few years back that he and his wife too were
excited and serious about living their eco
friendly dream and were relocating to France ,
I didn’t realise how serious he was. I
always thought the dare devils who become celebrities on the TV were always a
minority who you don’t meet in real life but, Les and Christine Sheldon really
proved me wrong.
Is On Line Radio the next big thing in Social Healing?
FRASIER, epitomizing the fallacy of radio as a medium for social healing, is one of my all time favourite TV shows. However, technology has now the power to render the humble FM radio a veritable social healing medium for the whole world!
FM stations, now available on line to a worldwide audience, can play a powerful role in social healing as this radio show from Dubai proves.
TV has revolutionised social interaction in communities on national levels through talk shows, reality shows, celebrity shows like X Factor and Oprah Winfry, mostly carried on the shoulders of their celebrity hosts.
Though these shows bring people together, around a common cause or interest, and have enormous entertainment value, their role in providing a reprieve for human pain and agony in day to day life is quite limited. At best, people watch them out of curiosity or boredom. Most TV shows do not leave something behind to lighten your burden, or give you the relief in opening up to someone!
