BLOGGING BAD

After my Facebook Phase is over, I decided to pour my expressions in Blogs. Hope you appreciate the endeavour.

I want to start this awesomeness by talking about the end of another awesomeness. The best thing that ever happened to world television, came to an end on September 29 and I am still trying to overcome the withdrawal symptoms.It was the only thing that made me look forward to Monday mornings and not hate it. For many others like me, this week was dedicated to reading, watching, re watching and talking about how GOOD was BREAKING BAD. In my personal opinion, and I bet most of you will agree,that there has never been,nor will ever be a show as enthralling, intelligent, brilliant and so fine in details as this masterpiece of Vince Gilligan.

THE BEGINNING OF AN ENDING
The transformation of a humble, over qualified High School chemistry teacher suffering from lung cancer, into the arrogant, invincible and "dangerous" Heisenberg is a delight to watch. The beauty of this contrast is that Mr. White never lets you Sympathize with him, and even his bald look due to chemotherapy turns into cool Bad Ass look.
THE TRANFORMATION
The genius of Walter White who tries to strike a balance between his family and his "special love" for "baby blue" is so beautifully portrayed that we end up admiring and justifying even the unjustified bad acts of our dark hero. He oversmarts not only the maniac Tuco, The deadly Twins, The most influential Gus Fring and Tod's Uncle and his Gang but becomes THE ONE WHO KNOCKS. Despite all the adversarial conditions, his undying spirit and never say die  attitude is what makes him The Heisenberg, who can solve any problem and go to any extent to take back what is rightfully his. He builds up an empire big enough to be enlisted in NASDAQ on his own.

I AM THE DANGER
 The most challenging task of a series of this repute is how you end it without disappointing the millions of fans. Here too Vince Gilligan does an outstanding job for such a beautiful climax tying up all the loose ends unlike other shows that  end on an abrupt anticlimax(Lost or Dexter). The last episode 'FELINA' speaks volume of all the brilliance this series was made up of. Undoubtedly the best way to end the series. The show started gracefully and ended respectfully in time. We miss the Heisenberg's genius, Jesse's emotional outburst  every time he says "BITCH" ( which fetched Aaron Paul lead role in Need for Speed - The movie), we miss Saul Goodman's wit and Hank's pathetic sense of humor, We loved to hate Skyler and watch Walt Jr. finish his breakfast. But as the last season's promo said "All Bad things must come to an end" and we must keep our mouth shut because it got over when Heisenberg said "ITS OVER".

GOOD BYE BREAKING BAD
                                                                  
For others like me,coping with the withdrawal, youtube has umpteen number of channels celebrating the best moments and awesome soundtracks used in the series. It is also flooded with  plethora of parodies and spoof, few of which are really nice and worth a watch. The best among them  is "Joking Bad" by Jimmy Fallon. Do watch it.

You will Laugh your Ass off

There is nothing wrong if you have the feeling of hollowness inside you and sense of purposelessness in life with sudden existential crisis after you finish all the seasons.You might end up tearing up your syllabus and say "Fuck this shit, I am cooking meth" and seriously start considering it as a career option especially when you see companies like HDFC Insurance are coming to campus and offering peanuts and when your friends are getting placed at Trilegal while you are forced to do an unpaid internship at Trust Legal. Atleast at the time of your farewell you can refer to all the Randapas inside NLU and say " I did it for myself, I was good at it. It made me feel alive" with theme song playing in the background "Guess I got what I deserved."
