||Harry is the answer!

The last time I made a post about the most sought after wizard of all times, Harry Potter, I promised I'd write more about that world of magic. Considering the fact that I've watched The Prisoner of Azkaban about thrice over this weekend, courtesy the Warner Bros. Channel, I thought it rather apt to bump the topic. The third part in the series, it features Sirius Black as the main character and quite appropriate to be showing around fathers' day. Because according to me, he's one of the most awesome dad-figures ever to be created in the history of fiction.

Right now, I'm on the scene where Hagrid introduces Buckbeak to the whole class. The scene where Harry takes a ride, the scene of Buckbeak's flight is exhilarating! Anyway, I digress, well we all know that. The expression on Harry's face every time he hears something about his parents shows so much longing, so much love! Near the end of the movie, (now I'm not speaking of the books here because a lot of people choose movies over the books, God knows why!), right when we've started to loathe Black for being a traitor, when the madness in his eyes is rightly interpreted as vengeance, only against the wrong person, the revelation that he's actually a pretty-goddamn-badass-but-awesome Godfather is mindblowing.

The idea itself, of Harry finally having a family, a home is so appealing. What's more than cruel is Rowling's decision to finally kill it in the next part after giving him a close save in this one. Its heartbreakingly unbearable! Yet again, I thought I'd post this as a tribute to the best Godfather ever.

Sirius Black,
We love you.

Sincerely,
Potterheads all over the world.

PS : The title signifies Harri is the answer to my mood lifts!

'Introvert!' 'She's not much of a people person.' 'He's weird.' 'Annoying.' 'Perfect!' How dare you? How dare you limit an entire person, his whole life, her complete individuality to a single word? How do you describe a person you have barely, superficially known for only a chunk of his lifetime in a few, simple words? Is this why we have eulogies? To make up for all the limiting things we say about people when they're alive. Is it a way to apologise for trying to put down a number on the distance between their being and the horizon? Are we trying to make up for the infinite possibility in them that we carelessly ignore? 'How would you describe your personality?' 'I'm lazy. I prefer pulling up my blanket to turning off the fan 'cause the switch isn't an arm's length away. I put down books when I don't love them anymore because they remind me of how my preferences change....

||Is it really that hard?..

Case I : Our nights have grown shorter. We don't talk as much as we used to. We're too busy in our own worlds to even care if we miss each other. We don't reply to each other's messages. When one tries to converse, the other doesn't feel like it. Is it really that hard to take a little time to appreciate what we have? Or is it what we had? Case II : I don't wait for you to come online. You don't have time to listen to my worries any more. We don't talk about our career plans and insecurities together. You don't have time to feel protective of me anymore. Was it really that hard to keep up an innocent friendship? Case III : I looked at you from a distance and recognised your familiar face. I have it etched somewhere in my heart. I can sketch you smiling even when I'm half asleep. Your smile is what kept my world bright. Now I just have to endure the darkness with a sense of defeat. Is it really that hard to speak up your mind, for on...

||Fall, Comfort Shows and Escapism..

As I find myself three seasons into my favourite show again, I involuntarily see the patterns and lack thereof every time I’m inclined to watch it. Gilmore Girls. If you seek me out on a random day and ask me my favorite show, you may never get the same answer twice. I don’t like being held down to favorites and my mood swings like a chandelier most days. But if you ask me which show I gravitate towards most, this is the one I’ll quote. If you see me talking in weird phrases and references that don’t make sense, this show is the culprit. Having watched it over 7 times in just 3 years, it amazes me how I’ve watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S. way less times even though it might be the show I look to for comfort. If you ask me what I watch when I’m sad, I’d probably say This is Us. Somewhere between the spectrum where one end is F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and the other This is Us, smushed between How I Met Your Mother, Suits, The Office, New Girl, and a number of other shows I like to rewatch, is Gilmore Gi...
