Never ending love for Sherlock and nature....

There's a new man in my life and his name is Benedict Cumberbatch... he's the new Sherlock Holmes, and I can't get enough of him. There's this new BBC series called 'Sherlock' and its truly awesome, if you revere the guy like I do... this is the best screen adaptation you'll ever find. Here Sherlock played to the hilt by Benedict Cumberbatch is accompanied by a very able Dr. Watson (played by Martin Freeman) and they go about solving crimes in modern day England. Man! I love this show... the creators have portrayed Sherlock exactly the way Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has described in the book. He has amazing powers of deduction, he knows he is amazing and he keeps reminding others bout it, he gets bored when there's no case to solve, he uses the homeless network to get information, he does weird things like placing a head in the fridge to study the coagulation of saliva (hilarious), he doesn't waste time with women cause they would hamper his powers of reasoning, he's a master of disguise... he's just the greatest literary character every created. 
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson at their residence 221 B Baker street...
I like the way they first introduce Sherlock Holmes at the press meeting, the way he sends those text messages to the reporters... cracked me up. Dr. Watson is pretty entertaining too, he's rather young... always ready for an adventure. Mycroft (Sherlock's brother, the only other person who is as smart as Sherlock and sometimes smarter too) is funny, apparently he is one of the creators of the show. But Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes is spell binding... I like his dapper look and his expressions when he pisses off people. One cool show, the best I've seen in a long long time... thanks to Megha my cousin who first told me bout this insanely captivating show.

What else, my place has this 'No Plastic Bag' rule, and I have been a huge follower of this rule ever since I started falling in love with Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin... these environmental conservationists have touched me with their passion, enthusiasm and unwavering love for nature and I try to do my part in protecting our beautiful planet from the filth of mankind. Of course, it would be a lot easier if the whole world followed suit and did the same...  Anyway, getting back to the plastic bag ban, cause of this new rule my place has come up with these really pretty colorful cloth bags... you see people walking around with them and its nice. The place is also so much cleaner and the people have become slightly environmental conscious too. Isn't that something...

I have used cloth bags for many years now and its nice carrying it around rather than those colourful, shiny and common-place plastic bags. But sometimes I am guilty of forgetting my jholna pai.

Joy always,
Susan

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....

I hope the world doesn't end in 2012, I have a whole lot of books to read...

I heard bout Flipkart.com from Anju and that site has changed my life. All the books that I have been searching for since centuries, are now sitting prettily on my book shelf. Landmark is a thing of the past now... in fact Landmark is not what it used to be anymore, they do not seem to have stock on most of the good books. So I am deliriously thankful to the creators of flipkart, I seriously love you guys... continue with your fabulous work. Talking of books, here are a few people who have enriched my life with their recommendations of the written word... My brother Manoj for buying the ' The Partner ' by John Grisham . Now I hadn't heard of Grisham before so the book was just lying there at home. One day I got bored and picked it up, that was the start of my love affair with Grisham and legal thrillers in general. This was the first John Grisham book I read and it was in a word mindblowing. I couldn't set the book down, my heart was racing away with Patrick Laniga...

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...
