We are so strangely Wired !

Just penning down some thoughts thats been floating in my mind over past few days.

We forget that losing is just as much a part of life. Perhaps not the most fun part of life, but part of it nonetheless. We forget that we have all seen the bumper sticker that reads “Shit Happens” and laughed thinking “well ain’t that the truth”. EVERYONE fails at something, at some time. Quite aware of the feelings & pains of disappointment, we never arm ourselves with tissues and bandages. What’s it inside in all of us that makes us think “Yes, I can do this” even in the most ridiculous situations. Where do this feeling of hope stays !

We are so strange !

We forget the simplest things. We forget that the easiest way to un-complicate life is to un-complicate wants. As long as we expect the least out of everyone and the most out of ourself, things work out smoothly. We don’t have to hold anyone else accountable then. It’s THAT simple.So, what makes us burden others with our own expectations? What makes us unload our wants on someone else? What makes us believe that things that others think we don’t deserve from them will fall in our laps?

Oh Yes! We are oh so strange.

 

Strawberry Avalanches, Saltwater Rooms, Vanilla Twilights and Fireflies – Of Owl City :)

There are songs for every mood.

Some song genres like Rock or Gothic make some people feel energetic (though most times they never make sense to me). Then there is rap & hip-hop which is all about attitude & cursing and cussing anyone & everyone – Fellow African-Americans (referred as niggers)/world/life/girls (ALWAYS referred as bitches in these songs)/ their parents etc etc. Then there is country music which can be relaxing & easy going most of the times (depressing at other times)

But then, once in a while, you encounter something as unique as Owl City

Now, don’t get me wrong here. I like “Bitch ain’t shit but hoes & trick” as much as any other song but lets face it, you cannot always listen to violent songs & catchy tune pop songs. Once in a while, you want to just plug in your iPod, switch off the lights, lie down, close your eyes & listen to music that make you feel, well, in search of a better term, lets call that feeling as bliss. Here comes artists like Coldplay & Owl City (at least for me). What puzzles me is that although most people know Coldplay, very little is known about Owlcity. It may be becoz Owl City is very new compared to Coldplay.

{Before you ask – NO, they haven’t paid me to do their publicity, although I won’t mind some extra cash & hash }

Still From the music Video of Brielle

If you look up on Wiki, it would say “Owl City is an American Second Wave synthpop musical project by American Adam Young”. Boy, I had to look up whats “Second Wave synthpop” !!! . So, in short Adam was suffering from Insomnia & decided to make music on his laptop in his parent’s basement at night. He started posting his music on MySpace & thus happened a record deal.

I think that one reason that I like the music of Adam Young is that I can relate with him (seriously ). I know what its like to be up all alone at 4 AM in the morning, when the whole world is silent, when you can even hear the water drops & can hear music in it, a time of day when the world is at its best in terms of serene & beauty, when listening to the same songs give a different & better feeling. Also, I know that if I ever make any music, it won’t be on a guitar/Synth but on a laptop

What’s unique about Owl City’s music is the arrangement of the songs, the extremely fascinating & soothing lyrics & the feeling that you are all together in a different world when his songs are playing. My favorite of all his lyrics is from “Vanilla Twilight” -

The silence isn’t so bad
Till I look at my hands and feel sad
‘Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

So simple yet so good. Just a look at the track listings from his most successful album “Ocean Eyes” tells the whole story -

The Bird and the Worm, The Saltwater Room, On The Wing, Vanilla Twilight, Tidal Wave, The Tip of The Iceberg, Meteor Shower, Fireflies, If My Heart Was a House etc.

Ain’t that dope . In one interview that I saw, Adam said that he prefers instrumental songs because they don’t have any lyrics & you can interpret them in any way you like. One tune can be made happy, sad or dreamy depending on what is your interpretation of that tune. All I can say is – how true !!!

To sum up, if you have heard Owl City before, wait with me for more magical music (the latest I heard from him is To The Sky From upcoming Motion Picture “Legend of the Guardians”). If you have never heard them or heard just a few songs, then here are few recommendations of my favorite Owl City songs -

1. Fireflies

2. The Saltwater Room (Ft Breanne Duren) – A few words about Breanne. If you don’t know whats its like to fall in love with just first few words of a female singer, do listen to this track

3. Vanilla Twilight

4. Brielle

5. Umbrella Beach

6. On The Wing

7. Hello Seattle

P.S. – A big thank you to Mr Ajay Pandey & Mr Mohit Dantre, two strangers who were good as to like my blogs & letting me know. Although this post is a more personal one, I hope I can ensure their revisits

P.P.S – No need to tell me its a mushy mushy post.

P.P.P.S – I forgot to mention, do watch the Owl City videos – they are equally amazing. If only I could have a room like Young have in Fireflies video

The Sacred Funda of PJs

Disclaimer - A lot of PJs mentioned in this post do not belong to me but have been shamelessly plagiarized without giving credits so that people can appreciate the “Science” behind PJs through the usual (and probable seen) examples. See I am THAT amazing a teacher. I think I may cry over this. WAIT, what !!! Don’t be a sissy, of course I’m not gonna cry. <note to self> Focus Focus

All right, so I am gonna be really really REALLY modest here and confess that I crack really cool PJs, at least sometimes. In my school years and 1st year of college, people started trying to make me realize that its not really that cool to be the “PJ guy”. One of the principal reason being the disgust with which people look at you when they realize what a fool they made out of themselves (be a man and admit it that’s the exact effect of a cool PJ – if you are a girl and reading this post please don’t be a man, we already have approx 900 girls per 1000 men in India and sex change operations cost a lot. Not that I would know how much they cost. Hey, stop making that judgmental face). <note to self again> Focus Focus

As a very wise man have said once – “You cannot really hide talent or keep it to yourself” (I’m not sure who said that but I’m pretty sure that this wise man writes this blog). Anyway, it’s been some time now since I realized that I should not keep my PJs to myself. Who knows some time later this can be my thing, like you know “hey, know that guy. He cracks disgusting PJs”  or “hey know that guy, his PJs can make you wanna kill yourself, or him” or “hey know that guy, he is still alive because last time I checked, it was still illegal to kill people”. I mean you get the point right ? you know – people (*sigh*).

So, coming back I always thought that someday I would share my “deadly” PJ skills with one and all. Its not gonna be a single post (may be) because I might add a few stuff as they come to my mind. And besides, I also have been trying to hone my skills, so who knows when later I come with some other techniques, I would share with you all.

For now, hold your breath, coz here we go -

1. Words have meaning “in and out of context” – Here’s a good example to prove it. (You can release your breath, Jeez !!)

A sardarji went to a STD/ISD shop and slapped the operator twice.
Guess why ?
Because there it was written “Number dial karne se pehele do lagae”

Now, what does the above example tells you ? Words can have “deadly” meaning if you take them out of context. Not very surprisingly, English language have loads of them.

In an IPL party Dhoni passes a beer to Raina who gives it to Sehwag to open it. Why? coz Sehwag is an Opener

2. This happens to be my favorite way of making PJs. Take any word and beat the living crap out of it. This is not easy (showing off here) and need widespread knowledge of a lot of names/fields. Also, you must be willing to cross the barriers of language and to be honest, the barriers of prevalent sanity.

Here’s lots of  examples -

What do you call a lioness sitting on a rock ? – SherOn Stone

Who is the leader of Ducks ?  – Frog .. becoz he is the Mainduck

What is the color of frequency? – Purple. Confused ? Here’s the explanation – Unit of frequency – Hertz. You can write it as – 1/sec i.e. per second. In Hindi, second is also called ‘pal’
therefore: Perpal

What does a cat do if she finds a Bournvita ? – She buries it. Becoz the name is “Cat-Buries” (Cadbury’s) Bournvita

On Visiting which part of India you expect your mouth to freeze Completely ? – Its Jammu (Jam-Mu)

Okay, I am getting senti here. Lets continue.

3. Song Based PJs – The most random class of PJs. You are listening to a song and suddenly some words remind you of something else entirely. Here, let me explain -

Kangna Ranawat’s laugh is different from Amitabh Bacchan. Why ? -  Coz the song from the movie Gangster says, “तेरी हँसी तेरी अदा , Auro से है बिलकुल जुदा” . Auro = Amitabh Bacchan (from Paa).

See, told ya – Random !!!! A few more examples that are mostly a blend of method 2 and 3.

What song does a kid sings when he enters Class 1 ? – K.G kiya re … K.G kiya re !

A boy was sad coz a girl rejected his proposal. So he goes in a park to play and take his mind off things. He starts with the See-Saw but it breaks. Guess the song he starts singing ? – “See-Saw हो या दिल हो, टूट जाता है”

Once again – Random !!!

4. CID PJs – Enough Said

P.S. – This post was in my Draft for a week now. Sometime you wonder what working on a Saturday can do to you. And besides, I’m lazy

P.P.S. – I tried a new style of writing a post which is more of a conversation style post. Hope y’all like it.

P.P.P.S. – In spite of being an irregular blogger, I got over 1,200 hits. Seriously, people have lots of free time now-a-days

P.P.P.P.S – I will write a follow-up post for sure on this topic

Modern Day Story of Rabbit & Tortoise

Tortoise and Rabbit were good friends and used to work together every day. One of the days, the topic of the famous race between their ancestors came up. A discussion ensued and they argued whether “Slow and steady win the race” is still relevant. The rabbit was far too proud to assume that any tortoise can defeat him. The fight grew more and more till they decided that the only way to settle it is a race between them. It was also decided to invite as many audiences as possible to witness the race.

The race started on a circular race track. It was decided that there will be 5 laps. The audience preferred to sit near the finish point. The race started and as expected, the rabbit took a substantial lead of more than a lap at the beginning itself. He thought he should take a nap as he could defeat the tortoise whenever he wants to. He could not find any green grass so he started thinking. Just then he saw the tortoise walking slowly but steadily. An idea came to him and he climbed on top of the tortoise’s hard back. The tortoise, a diligent fellow, wasn’t even bothered with the additional weight, for he was already used to carrying so much load. At the last lap near the finish point, the audiences were cheering loudly. This broke the rabbit’s nap and he climbed down and finished the race way ahead of the tortoise.

After the award ceremony, he was asked by another rabbit, how he managed to do what his generations were never able to do. He replied as a matter of factly “I rode on someone else’s back”.

P.S. – Blog updated after a long time. I blame Twitter. Micro-blogging have spoiled my mind against Macro-Blogging

P.P.S. – The credit to the plot of this story goes to a newspaper article pointing that in today’s world a rabbit win all the races.

I love Rachel Mcadams !!!

Disclaimer : This post is entirely an author’s opinion and supposed to be personal. Respect his feelings and enjoy the post

Sure God created many beautiful women before Rachel McAdams.  But then, you always make a few rough drafts before the final masterpiece.  ~Some Unknown great writer (I will give you a hint : He writes this blog )

I risk saying the above quote knowing fully well that people will frown upon and there will be a lot of hues and cries of disapproval but hell, Do I really care !!! And just in case if you are a hollywood movie fan and still don’t know Rachel McAdams, then you are wasting your precious time on this earth. Go find yourself something else to adore.

I won’t be exaggerating if I say that she is one of the best thing that has happened to hollywood in recent years. She may not have an Academy award nomination(yet), leave apart winning one but who says that you need an academy’s approval to be the best. I know that its too early to predict anything about how things will turn out for her in the future but based on the choices of roles that she have made in the past, I can say that she will continue to rule the silver screen in years to come.

Just to give an idea about how ideal an investment she is, Forbes.com’s ranked her # 3 in its Top Ten Best Actresses for the Buck List — She made $30 for each $1 paid.  She may not be drop dead beautiful like Jolie, Kate Winslet or some other FHM girls but you always get to see a different aura around her which is puzzling and enlightening at the same time.

I, for one, like her because of the way she plays her roles so very comfortably and gets into the skin of the character. Firstly observed by me in “Mean Girls“, my liking for her blew the roof off when I saw “The Notebook“. And let me just take a moment here to say that her kiss in that movie with Ryan Gosling was one of the most sensual (non-nude) scene, ever ahh

In recent times, I saw her new movies “State of Play” in which she played the role of an investigating journalist and “The Time Traveller’s Wife” which is mostly a nicely crafted chick flick.I loved the way she played these two roles so naturally. One was a serious movie which, of course, is an unknown terrain for her and still she manages to stand tall in front of greats like Russel Crowe and Ben Affleck (not him that much ).

As the Sherlock Holmes movie opens next week worldwide, I cannot wait to get to theater and watch her with the classic detective character of Doyle. Needless to say, we all have great expectations from this movie.

In the end I would just say this – I know she is not the most talented or gorgeous actress around but the roles she is choosing make her one of the favorites for top spot in the years to come. Hate her or like her, the way she is going, no one can ignore her

Semen Stains – Prevention and Cleaning :D

Disclaimer 1 : Ewww Post alert

Disclaimer 2 : This Post is strictly intended for male use only and completely written in the spirit of humor. The females reading this post are warned in advance not to read this post in their own interest (unless they wanna do a lot of Yukk… while reading). If you have nothing good to do, you can always go to the link given below and watch/re-watch some of your favorite movies -

Top 10 Chick Flicks (The captions says 10 films that drive women to the theaters and drive men crazy )

Ok, now lets get to the point. The stuff that I am going to write in this post is something that you never discussed with your parents nor they ever gave you any advices regarding this . Stains are easier to make than get rid of, especially when they come from receiving pleasure . No matter how many times you vow to be careful every time to want to have a good time, you still can’t avoid staining your stuff. It helps to know how to get rid of semen stains because these are the kinds of stain you don’t want your mother or your बाई to clean for you (unless you are Shiney Ahuja and are leaving them intentionally).

Preventing the stains can’t be as exciting as the activities that causes them but then you have to clean them up (unless you like them). Some of the preventive measures are -

1. Masturbating inside the bathroom is more ideal because water is accessible in that part of the house. You can simply wash your tool and let your semen go down the drain. Besides, I have heard that the shower orgasms are the more adventurous and mind-blowing. So either way, Problem Solved !!!

2. Cleaning your underwear using your blankets, pillowcases, worn clothes and towels will only make the situation worse. Instead of removing semen stain only from the underwear, you will also have to clean up the items you used to wipe the gunk. Don’t spread the semen stain.

3. Always have a tissue within reach whenever you are fondling yourself.

4. Either have a sex worker/porn star as a partner or make your partner more sensitive about this stuff. That way they can swallow it in if you are up for some oral sex as well. On a different but related note, I have always wondered some of things about the Porn Stars -

• I wonder if porn stars with eating disorders ever factor in the calories in the semen that they ingest.
• I wonder how many calories are in a typical amount of semen.
• I wonder if there’s such a thing as a “typical amount of semen”.
• I wonder if you’re on Weight Watchers and you’re having a lot of unprotected sex if that counts as “a protein”.
• I wonder why I’m wondering so much about semen.
• I wonder if other people wonder about this stuff too.
• I wonder what’s wrong with me !!!!!!

Anyways, lets not digress. The final method is what I call a ‘Killer One’ and use Japanese Techo Expertise.

5. Some people like to masturbate with a vacuum cleaner. This baffling video will explain this in detail.

WARNING : Once you see this video, you can’t just un-see it and you will send this to everyone that you know. So, proceed with caution.

Seriously, WTF Japan !!!!!! They most certainly can use their technical excellence to better use.

So, what if even after all the precautions you have got stains? Here’s how you can remove them -

1. A professional can always do it for you. If you can’t handle your own stains, have someone dry clean your garments. In India, no one seem to mind cleaning others shit as long as they are getting paid.

2. Presenting ‘नया’ Tide चौक गए !!! I think this is the most commonly used method when it comes to cleaning Stains. You can always use a Soap in case you believe in the protection of environment bullshit.

3. I did some google to get more ideas (I wonder what the non-pathetic people are doing right now ). Anyways, it seems that you can also use Boric acid and Vinegar.  Help yourself.

Sexual pleasure is not something you should be ashamed of since it comes naturally, but indelible semen stains on your sheets are another thing. They are very unsightly and mortifying. Follow these tips to get rid of semen stains, and say goodbye to the embarrassment of having other people see your sticky smudges.

P.S. – As a society, we believe in not talking about these sort of stuffs so I completely understand the risks of being frowned upon due to this post, but who gives a fuck

P.P.S. – Thanks to all the friends who missed my blogs. I didn’t knew that so many people actually missed it

Recession’s Effect on Movies

1. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Price started the movie production when no one expected a recession and what happened in the months to follow is known to all of us. Anyways, the point is that probably this explains why we had only 10 minutes of special effects in the beginning and the rest movie was ‘dubba‘ !!! (Source : DOGA )

2. Saif Ali Khan playing the role of both Jai Vardhan Singh and Veer Singh’ s younger self. Possibly, Jab We Met’s success wasn’t enough for Imtiaz Ali to woo the producers and get some other actor to play the role.

3. Height of Recession – Priyanka Chopra playing 12 roles in “What’s Your Rashi?” when we could have separate girls playing those roles. After watching the movie the only thoughts that I had are -

a) “Whooa Man !!!! Some Movie”

b) Mr Harman Baweja, stop acting like a cheap substitute of Hrithik Roushan, your time will last just as long as the

recession lasts

c) A repetition – Too Much of Priyanka Chopra

c) A confession . Actually I have a lots of thoughts about this movie but will share them sometime later

Now, time for a recession joke -

Husband says “This recession is worse than a divorce, I have lost half of my assets and I still have my wife”

Webcomics – World of Bloggers

Here’re some of the very interesting webcomics that I found on net. I forgot the source site, so my apologies in advance to the author for not giving credits to him/her

 

I am too Old for this shit … wait, Really, Am I !!!

Since the time I have come from the college life to what the elderly refer to as “real world” (and quite gleefully so, dunno why), I have felt that among other things that I so dearly miss, there is one specific aspect of that life that I miss a lot. In one of my previous posts I mentioned about the “intellectual” group that we used to have in college. Well, this post is a more detailed explanation of what this “philosophy” and “way of life” it used to be and what it is as of now.

Now, those who know me are aware that I am a movie and TV Series buff. It so happens that in college, we used to be a bunch of friends where all of us enjoyed watching movies and recommending them to one another (hence, chances are really high that if someone came to any of us and boasted that I watched this movie or episode today, he/she would be bombarded with uproar and cries like “अभी तक नहीं देखा था तुम” and “कुछ मखाऊ है बे तू” etc ). Its another thing that we will then discuss at least half an hour about the various high points and share our personal observations about that movie.

If some new movie will release or some series’s new episode will come, then we will discuss that full length on gtalk or when we meet for god knows how long. We would forward each other the various blog posts and webpages to illuminate others in our group (this is true especially for series like LOST and generally for most of them) and let them know some extra info about the plot or back stage drama etc. Oscars used to be our celebration time and you would be shocked if you knew how accurately we used to predict the winners (well in advance). I for one, drank for Kate Winslet when she won her first Oscars, it didn’t mattered that I had a grand viva (or BTP presentation, don’t remember, don’t care) the next day . This love goes to the length that when we were mailing professors throughtout the world for a foreign training, the first place we started was University of California, LA and the first state we covered was LA .

The jokes that we cracked or the discussions that we had were obviously, almost always were referred back to any movie/series. Wednesday night was refereed as beer night among us as a tribute to the characters from The Big Bang Theory. Even the minor day to day activities were referred to as “you know, the same thing happened to so and so character from so and so movie/series”. Just for e.g. one of our friends was more “dukhi” than usual on one day (well he always is “dukhi”, so some of you know by now who he is ). Anyways, so he came to us and said that he and his girlfriend (his first one) had a minor fight and he was worried sick that they are gonna break up now. As good friends, we gave relationship advise (huh… of all people, us giving relationship advise, life is so not fair and it sure sucks at these moments !!!! ). Anyways, we have our share of “expertise”, however, superficial it is. So, we consoled him saying that couples do not break up on issues like this (I don’t remember the issue, but it was awefully petty). You’re in first relationship of your life and that’s why you are so apprehensive about such a minor issue. We gave examples of Ross from F.R.I.E.N.D.S (you’ll know if you have seen it as many times as us) and he was clear why such a thing was happening to him. Most recently, one of my heartbroken friend (the girl fed him the classic let’s remain friend and I don’t wanna lose a great friend like you bullshit) was telling his story after 4 X 60 ml of Whisky and was saying that we are only good friends now and blah blah, we reminded him of the little wisdom given by Harry in When Harry met Sally “Men and Women can’t be just friends”. God bless that heartbrake kid (another movie, see this is what I am talking about).

Enough with the ramblings, the point of all of this is to make you clearly understand the environment that I spent last four years in. Hence, when I came here, I was awfully frustrated at first because of my habit of “intellectual” talks and ambience. Of course, “real world” is so different, most specifically the girls’s knowledge level in this field. If you start pulling your hairs for every blunder they make, very soon you will be like Ted and even sooner like Turk (Scrubs reference). Anyways, saying their knowledge as disastrous is an understatement by miles and miles. Now, whenever I am in a group and crack a joke like remember the same happened in that movie, everyone (read mostly the girls) look at me blankly and I feel like a stupid, although I know that this joke is super hilarious. Today, even during the process of writing  this blog, at lunch, when I cracked a Simpoo Singh Joke, one of my friend (girl, like that’s not obvious) said “who’s Simpoo Singh ?  (God ….arghhhh). One of my friends wrote in his blog that for him eating veg food is like asking Paris Hilton to count to 10. We all know how excruciating that can be for her. When I shared this joke, the response I got was “Is she really that dumb” and even “Who is Paris Hilton” (भगवन उठा ले इस दुनिया से .. मुझे नहीं ऐसे लोगों को ). I have met people here who have not heard (let alone watch) Schindler’s List. People here don’t understand when I say that Will Smith is there to save the world and as long as he’s alive nothing can happen to us. He will produce movie himself if no other producer wants him to save the world, but he will go to any extent to answer his self declared calling. If you have watched Independence Day, Men in Black, I-Robot, Hancock, I am Legend etc etc you will know what I am talking about

Okay, okay a step back …. I know I am pushing it too far now and went on to give some really bad examples

Anyways, the point is that I know that I can’t expect people to be at the same level as me (not glorifying myself here ) but nevertheless, I still expect that people should atleast be aware of atleast some really basic lingo. Afterall, its really unlikely that they haven’t watched Jab We Met or Kal Ho Na Ho. Just one high point so far – it was really good and pleasantly refreshing to know that atleast some people still do know आप पुरुस नहीं महापुरूस है dialogue

This brings me back to the title of this blog – Now, sometimes I feel so out of place that I feel may be I am acting too Naïve. As Danny Glover used to say in Lethal Weapon series – I am too old for this shit (Also Ted Mosby in HIMYM, S04E19). On the slightly different note than him, but still with the same feelings, I think that may be its best to just stay quite and crack only the conventional jokes and indulge in only “worldly” conversations. May be its time to grow (as some will put is as) but then why it feels like something is not right and that something is out of place. Guess its just my resistance to let go of an immensely nostalgic lifestyle, the unforgettable memories that I will always cherish and probably will always long for.

P.S. – As an example to our dedication for movies, here’s listed a very interesting testimonial written on Orkut by one of my friends for another friend. Try an interesting excercise, can you tell me the name of movies from which they have been taken from? It’s fairly simple, I can assure you that. And puhleez (girly style for please) – don’t Google

Who is XYZ?

You sure you want to know?

The answer is out there, and it’s looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

If somebody told you he was just your average ordinary guy, not a care in the world… somebody lied. It’s not who he is underneath, but what he does that defines him.

Well how dangerous is this guy? Compared to what – Bubonic Plague!

I imagine that right now, you’re feeling a bit like Alice. Hmm? Tumbling down the rabbit hole?

Unfortunately, no one can be told who Chandan is. You have to see him for yourself.

Why “Rants,Raves and Small Talks”

One of the common questions that I have faced since I started blogging was why did I named my blog as “Rants, Raves and Small Talks”. Well, truly speaking, it just occurred to me subconsciously and I kept the name as it came to me. However, by retrospection, here’s what I think is the reasons why I believe that it’s a befitting title.

First of all, I don’t consider that a personal blog like mine should have a unifying theme. Although I have seen some very interesting blogs specifically devoted to the personal interest of the blogger (which of course is the popular preference for the professional bloggers) and they are unquestionably brilliant but I, for one, didn’t wanted to write on any one specific genre but rather wanted to spread my wings in all possible directions (you see, every child is special, this kinda reminds me of Taare Zameen Par ). A rant, usually, is not unified and can go from one direction to any other.

Hence, when I decided to pen down (rather keyboard down ) some arbitrary ramblings because I thought that whatever I think at first is usually unstructured and essentially rant. May be there can be a better title for a blog, but as for my blog, I believe that I made an appropriate choice. As a reader, you deserve to hate it, love it, or even feel indifferent about but that’s your prerogative but in the end I sincerely believe that, on some level, you would agree with me.
