Closer look at Lilium Stamen, originally uploaded by Amar Raavi.

Unless you are into TV world, it is hard to follow the title. It is about the TV series LOST on ABC. It all started me looking at clips on abc.com and thought let me give it a try. I was feeling bit sick of watching Everybody Loves Reymond, Friends, 70′s show, Will & Grace so on. No doubt they are good. But after a while one feel bored watching comedy stuff. Well, at least I got bored.

Started on a Friday night with Season 1 pilot episode and stopped it Monday morning (I have even thought of taking a day off just to watch it). I still remember sticking to my laptop continuously with minimal food and sleep. But it is worth it. Best drama in the TV history. Period. The story line, locations and the actors, a perect entertainment for TV viewers.

Now I am big fan of the series and just wait for Thursday (No. Not Friday).

Some of the interesting facts about Lost:
1. It’s story line is really complex and easy to get Lost.
2. It is a drama and having less to none action stuff.
3. The season 1 pilot episode cost was $14 million.
4. Started with 72 characters (including a dog).
5. Almost every episode is having a Flashback or Flashfoward.
6. Some of the Flashfowards are having flashbacks (you are getting there).
7. Average 15 million viewers in US.
8. Broadcasted in US, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
9. First season started in the year 2004.
10. Planned to end in the year 2010.

Don’t forget 100′s of theories and fansites around just to discuss the story. It is a different world.

That was a quote from her election campaign near Indianapolis. Don’t know whether it is drafted by her campaign personnel or by herself. But a nice one.

Apart from just being oldest suspension bridge, Brooklyn Bridge is an inspiration, lifeline, connection, artistic and a structure you cannot define with words. So, see it in pictures at Flickr.
