Foxlife Startrek

As some one who loves travelling I have always liked travel based documentaries on TV.

Thanks to Foxlife Channel, this evening's episode of Startrek, gave some pleasure. This episode was about 'Parikrama', an all Indian popmusic band begun in 1991. I tried to provide a link to the actual program, but couldn't. However thanks to UTube, I could access the band. 

This evening's programmes featured the North East of India. It reminded me of nearly four years of my stay in the region many years ago. I was teaching in a Government School in Bhutan. I remember my morning cup of authentic Darjeeling tea and radio programs such as the Tamil Language Service from Delhi, religious events from Nepal, etc.

The special aspect in such programmes is that they take you to people and places that are not usually presented in programmes of other channels.
