Top 3 cartoon shows with an Indian twist


As a child, I loved watching the chase between Tom and Jerry and in my grown years I was still fond of watching these cartoons. We were spellbound to the magic of Chip n Dale Rescue rangers, Duck tales and Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles and glued to the screen for hours and still we couldn’t get enough of them. I used to wonder whether these cartoons will have the same magic to the next generation what we had or will that magic wipe out everything.

Today we switch on the TV and feel irritated when we are bombarded with never-ending advertisements and illogical serials. But, one fine day after my hectic work schedule I got a chance to surf through the channels and I stumbled upon on some cartoon channels. I heaved a sigh of relief when these channels and program’s quality and content weren’t affected like other programs.

I could once again quickly connect myself to these new generations’ cartoons and I was amazed to see the quality and Indian factor added to these cartoons. I was glued to the screen when I watched my first ever episode of Motu Patlu and do you know what made these cartoons so special than ever? Read on to know:

•    Motu Patlu

One cannot imagine having a pot-bellied character with a matchstick figure buddy enjoying the most. This inseparable pair of Motu Patlu never fails to tell the morale of the story at the end of every episode. The humor never lacks anywhere and it sticks to the story from the start to till the end. We humans quickly connect to characters are shown in the movie and hence, there is a character known as Chingam that resemble the character of Singham played by Ajay Devgan in the movie. Those were the days when Disney ruled the cartoon and animation world for many years but nowadays as more talented animators stepping forward and hence, they leave no stone unturned when shaping cartoon characters and displaying many elements of Indian local culture such as most delighted and liked by many local food ‘samosas’  are shown favorite of Motu. These tiny elements hold your grip tightly and you instantly feel connected to them.

•    Chota Bheem

Images used representational purpose only
Bheem, an ancient character from Mahabharata has changed for a good, from serious to a lighthearted baby version of Bheem can certainly spread the smile on your child’s face. Chota Bheem played on Pogo channel captured everyone’s attention in a short span of time and children were pride to wear t-shirts and carry bags with printed images of Chota Bheem. This cute 9-year-old boy and his team always solve the problems of Dholakpur residents. He always outsmarts his rivals with his wit and conscious. The episodes are neatly presented in a simple and understandable manner that children would enjoy and connect to Indian superheroes rather than getting obsessed over Ben 10 and Dexter. Chota Bheem certainly reminds you of long lost characters of Mahabharata but leaves you feel entertained and not a heavy-headed. 

•    Oggy and the cockroaches
Oggy and The Cockroaches


Although this cartoon series is a product of French cartoon lab; however, it is so hilarious when all the characters are dubbed in Hindi. They are given a voice over of India’s popular cine stars. These cockroaches throw dialogues in the voice of Shahrukh Khan, Sunny Deol and many more. This French cartoon series dubbed in Hindi breaks all the barriers of communication when they feel so Indian. Don’t miss the episode of it; they will tickle your funny bone like anything.    

After watching these cartoons, I was glad to know that this generation will also have sweet childhood memories that will linger in their mind for the years to come!

Hugs and kisses



Only the silence between us said it all. We did not have to explain anything to each other. Cool air started flowing n dry leaves made their way to wave goodbye to their last minutes of life. The rustling sound of leaves brought me back in the reality that it was my time as well to bid a farewell to my relationship.

Hugs and kisses 

I got up and without saying a word I left. Suddenly I felt every color of my life was becoming plain. Outside of the park, the hustling-bustling roads of New York City felt noiseless. All I could hear my heart was beating loudly and my positive and negative thoughts were fighting to each other.

"He has gone for good", "No, he loved you dearly" one part of my mind said, "you have to move on" and my heart ached and wept bitterly saying, "you still love him"

Aah! I hated myself and trying to shake my head as if I wanted my thoughts to throw out of my head.

I calmed myself saying "the storm of hugs and kisses is gone" and "yet another season of love and hope is blossoming".

As soon as this positive thought fused in my mind, I felt light. As I was walking, I inhaled the fresh cold air and heaved a sigh of relief.

I looked up the full moon was smiling from its corner to corner and the night sparkled, so my eyes!


My eyes were now sparkling with joy, smile, hope & life.
