AIMLESSLY UNBALANCED

India - Everybody wants to be entertained and that's where television comes in to play. TV shows come and go and the latest TV hit comes from India. Titled " Saara Akaash " , the show involves 5 pilots in the Indian Air Force , is filmed on a real air base , and has real Russian made , Sukoi aircraft.
The show's ratings has earned itself a green light for another season. Perhaps the high ratings are due to the damsel in constant distress , " Monika " . She is the daughter of the base's AOC , who just happens to also be , an Air Force pilot flying cargo , while her friends fly combat. Monika comes off being a " tuff girl " in uniform who has been shot at , been shot , captured by terrorists , on the run from hostile forces while severely bleeding for her country , with a smile - she safely landed her aircraft while it burned , disarmed a bomb , got saved from a bomb , learned to ride a motorcycle , outsmarted her evil in laws that shot her dog , and she is even a car mechanic , who uses her talents to disable vehicles and hot wire them. Hell , she has been stapled , folded , bolted , stitched up , shut up , pinned up , and she still keeps on going , just like the rabbit.
Another creature feature with the show , is how the English language is portrayed. Since most of the world does not speak Hindi , there are English sub titles. Somebody does not understand English :) Although there are sad , hurt and tear filled eyes , with chins running rivers of salt , the sub titles will bring you down , crying with laughter.
So , if you want to watch TV with a difference and with a heroine in action , now that she has two husbands , Saara Akaash might be just what your heart is yearning for :)
