Globe Trekker - Ian Wright

I am sure, most of you might have come across this guy "Ian Wright", while watching Discovery Channel.

He hosts the Globe Trekker show while traveling around the world. He is pretty cool guy with his witty comments and amusing interactions with locals; he makes show interesting.

While reading Marathi Sakal News Paper, I found that he has been specially invited by Princess Bhargavi of Mewar. Sakal News paper has declared him as "Bhatakya".

According to him "Comforts don't interest him," he says. "The sort of trips I go on are all about living cheap and getting dirty which is how I like it."

I found one of his interesting interview here
He was asked one question "When you go places, do you look for the fun factor? Do you look for something that makes you go, wow? "

His Answer was " Yes and no, Mainly the things that make you go wow are the things that are unpredictable and things that you never thought about. I mean, when I traveled around India on me own before the show or whatever, I realize that in India you get the wow factor through the Taj Mahal, which is phenomenal, but the real India, you just sit on the road for a week and watch the world go by and your mind will be blown."

Navjot Singh Sidhu & his Sidhuisms

He came on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2005 Show & stole the show.
I think he is the guy who can make any tense situation lighter with his one-liner.
Navjot Singh Sidhu, Famous for his outspoken style & witticisms that have come to be known as "Sidhuisms".

When Farooque Sheikh, host of the talk show Jeena isi ka naam hai asked him
what he thinks of those who criticize his style of commentary

he said "The world is all about mind and matter; I don't mind and you don't matter."
What a great answer !

As long as I remember in the past, Sidhu was always quiet & shy; So what changed him so drastically ? he says “I found religion and meditation, my dear friend, that’s what changed.
It made me a stronger, more confident person and that’s why I am the way I am today.”

Well,That' s interesting to know.

Few of his funniest one-liners are

  • All that comes from a cow is not milk.
  • Anybody can pilot a ship when the sea is calm.
  • Age has been perfect fire extinguisher for flaming youth.
  • New Zealanders are like bicycles in a cycle stand - one falls down and the complete row will be down!
