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....

The Tag.....

Anju had tagged me a long time back and I had forgotten about it until she tagged a few other people for the same thing recently(and I will never forgive her for tagging sajeeve! My poor mind was tortured reading his list regarding the amount of time pigs and lions take, being entangled in the throes of passion...) Anyway, getting back to my list... *If I walk into any room and I find the bed messy, my mind stops functioning. I just HAVE to clear the bed, make it neat and then get on with whatever I am supposed to be doing. *Weird colour combinations make me so mad... if peope wear clothes that do not match or if the church altar is decorated in vividly loud colours that do not match... it again stops my mind from functioning. I cannot focus.... unless I will my mind to tune out and go to another place where everything is in harmony. *I actually rock myself slowly to sleep. *If you have seen curly haired babies/kids, you will know that they look amazingly beautiful (just lik

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
