Memorable characters

While I relax on my couch these characters flashed and when ever this happens they all bring smile on my face.  I am talking about fictional characters which I enjoyed as child and they entertain me till date. It's strange how these lifeless characters manage to give us joy and make us smile while in reality many characters hurt at times well that's the harsh truth of life, will not ponder over the latter.  I am here to write about those characters which entertain and make me feel light though momentarily, their presence is eternal I am sure many feel so too.

Tom & Jerry : Funny never tired  of to see marathon of these episodes. The master plans of Tom which fail miserable due to our smart Jerry and to add to this race is between music. Full family entertainer and many generations have been entertained there is no question of generation gap while watching this series. 

 Scooby Dobby Do : The title track is catchy, wasn't watching it regularly but my brother used to. Now my lil one see and enjoys and this makes me nostalgic, it used to be telecasted in television at time we returned from school.

Mr Bean : Have see all episodes in this series, have lost count of how many times. Never ever felt bored of watching again and again. Smart yet stupid character of Mr Bean makes an masterpiece.

Shaktimaan : This is super hero series, as kid we were very fascinated by this character. A flying super hero, seeing him jump building, perform super stunts and his other face to the society was of a dumb person. Shaktimaan meaning powerful man, mostly helpings kid in need and danger thus we were all mesmerized by his powers.

Mowgli  : The Jungle book had this character, a boy raised in Jungle and his life in it. The picturisation was good. It was series of adventurous  by Mowgli.

Supandi : A character from Tinkle comic, every week we were eager to meet Supandi an stupid, innocent yet smart character. Was always fun to read.

Shikari Shumbu : Character from Tinkle comic, a shikari meaning hunter who is lazy and coward but by luck and hook or crook turns into hero in eye of society. Funny short stories.

All the above are associated with my sweet childhood memories and am sure will stay along in my journey of life. Thanks to all those amazing people who created these characters and many more which aren't in the above list of mine creativity can touch many, art stays on for ever, these fictional characters are eternal.

Theater and family

After almost five years I managed to sneak out time for a family outing and went to movie that to Kannada movie. As family we really go out and this time ten of us were out to watch Victory movie at 9.30 pm! This post is not about the movie Victory, which I regret till this date to having spend my money and time on it instead I want to write about the crowd at theaters at late evening show. Typically India movies run from 2.5 hr to 3 hr at this hour of day I was surprised to see families coming with kids, with babies and I was wondering what example are we elders setting to these kids. 

Though they aren't out every day late night but still why even a day to be out and awake at that hour of day instead they should be snuggling warm in their cozy beds. Early to bed early to raise is foremost thing to mould child's discipline. The small things we do when young  defines us when we grow old, those are habits which stay till we end. This doesn't mean that parents have to sacrifice going to theater when kids are young instead of getting them to theater and creating hazzle for them they should plan for sleepover for there kids at friends or relative place which is far better than dozing in theater with broken sleep.

Few lines on Life bond

'I didnt know where I end and she begins' this line was taken from book Anna Karenina, the character Levin is newly married to his love Kitty and the above line states his thought. Isn't it such a meaningfull and apt line to describe what one feels when newly married.

Marriage an institution wherein the two individuals are bond for life time. Marriage does change everything between the two, I don't agree when one says 'nothing is changed post marriage'. Your own soul gets extended to incorporate your partner, your way of thinking gets changed say you be more responsible before doing anything, you both exist as two physical bodies but one heart isn't this enough to call it a change.

Well with partner comes his or her likes and dislikes  which might not match yours but we do overlook them and at times the other overlooks there comes in compromise but in this scenario there is no loss of either as the happiness is found in each other, seeing one happy is happiness for the other, what a special relation isn't it. It  might exist between any family relation  and friends but this is truly special as you live with this relation each and every day.

Everyday is not sunday, thus there may be ups and down in relation but to speak it out and clearing the issue is the key for the happy tomorrow.  'Silence speaks' doesn't work here as a matter of fact it doesn't work where there is issue. According to me if there is any misunderstanding or indifference just talk it out and get it clean off is the way to go. Who knows will there be a tomorrow or not!! 'Life is short make it sweet'.

Kitty and Levin's love story in the novel is simple and am sure to which many can relate in real life.  A relation where there is place for jealousy too and yet at the end of day you are sure that those eyes of your partner were just meant to see only you.

Life is truly a merry go round, in which marriage is a prime loop which surely is loaded with ups and down. One has to cling to the other and viceversa and ride along this and the end sure to see Happy Family just as in Levin and Kitty do.
