Frasier has left the building... sigh.

I bought almost all the seasons of Frasier three years back and over the past three years I've been going through them one by one. Yeah, I know... seems like a long time, but I like to watch my serials in peace, and with Frasier you definitely need quiet and peace to catch all the dialogues. I loved the show since the first time I saw it, it has got to be one of the most amazing sitcoms ever created. All the characters are lovable and extremely witty, the humour & the general pulse of the show was what set it apart from the other mediocre shows out there. Frasier had some classy creators and writers, and they imparted a certain standard to the show that remains unparalleled to this day.

I liked the way Frasier ended, it ended on a hopeful and inspiring note... but it was still sad to see all the people who've made you laugh so much bidding you good bye. I couldn't stop the tears from falling, I loved all the fun times I've had with them and, I know somehow they've changed me, subtly but surely. They've brightened the day when I needed a little more sunshine in my life, they've helped me calm my mind when a storm is raging through it... they've made my world better by the amount of laughter they've poured into it. I know it seems a bit too much, going all looney over a TV show, but because of them I will never be in need of a shrink.... ;o)

This is how Frasier bids us all goodbye from his radio station...

"It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And though we are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are—
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will;
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

I’ve been thinking about that poem a lot lately. And I think what it says is that, while it’s tempting to play it safe, the more we’re willing to risk, the more alive we are. In the end, what we regret most are the chances we never took. And I hope that explains, at least a little, this journey on which I am about to embark. I have loved every minute with my KACL family, and all of you. For eleven years you've heard me say, "I’m listening." Well, you were listening too. And for that I am eternally grateful. Goodnight, Seattle.

Goodnight guys, you were wonderful...

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

My school teachers...

So I got to thinking bout my school days recently and it saddened me that I was starting to forget a few teachers who had shaped my life, I have already forgotten nearly half the classmates... though its not my fault. Some people just don't want to join facebook, then how can you find them in this big world. Even if I do find them, there is not much to talk beyond the 'where are you & what are you doing' phrases. But the teachers are another matter, they deserve to be remembered for moulding us. I gotta hand it to the convent school I studied in, they really knew how to select their educators... all the teachers I had shared a genuine passion for teaching and above that they had strong moral values and faith which invariably shaped our lives. To them being a good person was what mattered the most and they made sure we grasped this knowledge, it also helped that I had staunch catholic parents who cemented this view. Anyway, I just wanted to jot down stuff bout my teacher...

And nobody was named Fred....

There was a Hugo and a Rosie... but no Fred. Oh well, it's over... that is more than enough. So finally the Harry Potter series has come to an end. And I did read all the books... but somehwere between the third and the fourth book, all the success went to her (Rowling's) head and she started churning out lousy sequels. I mean the first book was really nice, stuck to important stuff... and did not ramble on unnecessarily. I liked the third book the best, cause of Sirius... I thought he was the most amazing character, he was portrayed as this handsome reckless and brave guy, rugged looking but great looking, kinda like Aragon in the movie, "Lord of the rings" or Oded Fehr in "The Mummy Series". So it was only natural that I stopped watching the Harry potter movies, after I saw who they had cast to play the role of Sirius Black, some demented looking guy. Just look at the pictures!!! Anyway, this last book was just too much... there was too much of everyt...
