My Heroes : The Journey Within

Ever wished to be a Hero? A hero like Superman? Spiderman?

You don’t have to have superpowers to be a Hero.

That’s one of the quote from a TV series titled “Heroes”. The TV series is about a group of people with special powers. Some of these people think about the amount of good they can do with these powers. Others, prefer personal gain or world domination (think X-men without costumes). Of course, there are some who just want to lead a normal life. The series depict the light and dark side of people with powers. Kind’a like our world isn’t it?

I do like the series, so if you get a chance, do watch it.

As an aside, I was lucky enough to win a pair of tickets to meet some of the cast from Heroes. Got some memorabilia, a long wait, and a brief encounter with the cast. I thought they would have at least come down and gave some autographs, but it was just up on stage, “thank you fans i love you”, and a not so discreet exit. I guess being a Hero on TV and in real life is really the same – you do not have much time for everyone.

I think I’m too old to be here. I don’t even have a banner like the girl below.

There was girl with a poster which reads “Mohinder, marry me”, and another with a dotted line drawn across her forehead, with a caption “cut here”. (If you watched the series, you’ll know why). The closest shot I got was when Greg, Ali and Masi Oka entered the stage.
