After a long gap, Robbie decides to do some blogging. To warm up, he opens up Crissie’s blog, which he really appreciates a lot, and realizes that for a real long time, he hasn’t been reading blogs either. And then he starts pondering how his life is messed up completely. He desperately tries to find a way out, but with all strings attached he cannot make a wrong move. He knows it would spell disaster not to himself, but to those who love him the most. So, with a heavy heart, he decides to stay in the messy world and carry on. To lighten up himself, he decides to write a blog.
Voila! There you are. Here I am. My alter ego must have stated about my situation. Har har :)
Okie Dokie, here I blog!
Well, I got some spare time today and I was going to Crissie’s blogs. I admire the way she writes and expresses herself. While reading one of her articles, I noticed that she had written about “The Wonder Years” I was so very happy to read about this show that aired on Star World when I was in 8th or 9th, (if I remember well). It was a show that I really loved watching. In many ways, I would fancy myself as the lost and confused teenager – Kevin Arnold - the main character of the show. Now its been more than ten years since and I suddenly found myself immersing into a nostalgic track. Thank you Crissie for reminding me of the wonder years!
Now just like a drug addict needs his dose of “bad” medicine, I needed to refresh myself. So I open up google and type in “The Wonder Years” and it spurts out thousands of web references. I fancy the ones written on Wikipedia (Online Encyclopedia) and I quickly open up the link. And I go through the entire life cycle of the show in a quick glance. I also happen to browse through a few snaps of Kevin, Winnie and Paul. Boy oh Boy, it was so good to go back to those memory lanes.
I could see myself getting ready for my English classes, without leaving my eyes off the TV set for a single moment. My friend’s grandpa used to teach us English in his leisure hours. And all my literary skills are dedicated to this gentleman. Since these classes were not an obligation, for courtesy sake, I could not afford to miss them. I would have around 10 minutes to cycle down 2 and a half kilometers if I were to watch the entire episode. And I remember myself rushing down on my BSA SLR everyday on top speed. Such was my dedication to this series of the wonder show.
In short, "The Wonder Years" is about the life of a young american teenager in the late sixtees. The show runs through his teenage life, depicting instances of his childhood and how it affected him and how it moulded his character. He had a girlfriend named Winnie Cooper. His best friend was a nerd named Paul. Kevin also had an elder brother and an elder sister. Wayne - Kevin's elder brother used to pester him and Paul a lot. The story revolves around the lives of these characters. I do not want to write here about the entire episodes in brief. You can get that from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wonder_Years I just went through the entire collection.
Whatever it is, I remember the final episode, and I remember how I almost cried because I knew I could not watch it any more from the next day.
Phew! I dont know whether I made sense :S
Anyways, stay tuned! :)
