F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

This is one TV Show that never fails to perk up my spirits…
It’s Funny, It’s Cute, It’s so easy to relate to and it’s BRILLIANT… Love it…

Back in college, when we were in the hostel, it used to be our only respite from the always-on-our-backs professors. The slapstick comedy, the one liners, the USP of each character, the way they led their lives… it’s just too good…!! In fact, the show was such a rage that people used to equate it to their status symbol…

“Do you watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S.?”

“No, I actually don’t!! What is it about?”

“You don’t know about F.R.I.E.N.D.S.??... It is a MUST-WATCH”…

And then there were these quizzes that got popularized… “Which F.R.I.E.N.D.S. character are you?” etc etc… I can recollect couple of my friends swooning over Chandler and Joey... I did too ;-) In fact I still do! :-)… And whenever someone used to ask me “Who is your favorite character in F.R.I.E.N.D.S.??” I used to never be able to decide… I like each one of them for specific traits… and I think what sets this show apart from the others I have seen is the fact that the dialogue-delivery is outstanding… the expressions, dialogues, the enactments it’s all just great….

I can’t relate myself to one specific character from the show… I somehow feel that as one grows older (yes! again a reminder that we are growing old!) we tend to have shades from all characters… like how much of a little girl Rachel is still inside her heart, Monica orderliness, Phoebe’s goofiness, Chandler’s wit, Joey’s dumb act, and Ross’s educational bent of mind…
Ultimately what it is that IT IS FUN…

It’s a very cute series and very aptly depicted…!

Kudos to the team! And one day, I swear I will have the entire collection ;-)

Grahanam - A review!

It has been quite some time since I penned something on this blog, and even longer, since I wrote a movie review. But there is no good time ...
