HIMYM: My new addiction!

I was so in love with F.R.I.E.N.D.S before and it was fast becoming an obsession. One of my friends suggested watching “How I Met Your Mother”. I watched one episode on TV and liked it instantly. How can I not? TV sitcoms provide me with everything I could hope for – bunch of people hanging at some nice place, laughter, love, friendship, sentiment and best of all: little or no worries at all! 

I love all the characters in this one, unlike in friends. I don’t like Monica. Whatever reasons. Anyway, in HIMYM, my best character so far is BARNEY! I simply love him. There’s a little bit of everyone of friends in him – 

Joey: womaniser, falls in love with Robin after Ted (Ross); 

Chandler: looks like him a little, scared of commitment, most of the jokes in the show will be his lines, after falling in love the most committed guy there ever was!; 

Phoebe: love for self! AWESOMENESS!!

Monica: “organised”(only a little bit though), a little eccentric; 

Rachel: a little selfish!; 

Ross: takes forever to talk to Robin about how he really feels.

This is like 1% of what Barney really is. More on him later.

On a completely different note: Ted in one of those episodes says ‘I want to get old. You don’t have to worry about “the plan”, because you have done the plan and you are already on the other side!’ I totally agree with that! ‘Maybe we’ll have to spend some time in jail. ....Then maybe I can read, finally write all those short stories I wanted to...’ Don’t remember the lines exactly, but this is pretty much the gist. I totally, totally am with him!! It’s nice to know that some of my weird, abnormal thoughts run through other people’s heads too and that some of these ideas were voiced in a sitcom! Ha ha!!

The thing about TV, movies, books or anything that helps you kill your time, is that you slowly start to “connect” with something or the other in all of those. Because some part of you always wants to escape reality and live in that dreamy, fun place.

Snapping back to reality.

Later!
