Why 'Brooklyn Nine Nine' Is Your Ultimate Binge

-

 Heyyo everybody!

Welcome back to month 18 of #faltufriday!

Brooklyn Nine Nine. A show that I've watched over nine (million) times :P

Anyone who knows me, would describe me as an absolute fanatic of watching TV shows; but, there are a few which are very close to me-which include 'Friends' and 'Brooklyn Nine Nine'(and many more)

There's a gazillion reasons why I love watching this one particular TV serial over and over again; and also recommending it to EVERY SINGLE PERSON EVER. 

This led me to decide, why not share my crazy obsession about it with the whole world?

So without further ado, lets get to it!

For anyone who is unaware of what the show is about, its basically a cop comedy featuring various aspects and stories from a closely knit squad of the NYPD in the 99th precinct. 

Besides the 'die hard' fan of Die Hard, the protagonist Jake Peralta, being my favourite character, there are numerous reasons why I'm in LOVE with the show. Here's just a few: 

Why do I love it so much?

  • Firstly, I love detective stories. Spy, Murder Mysteries, Thrillers-one of my favourite genres. Brooklyn Nine Nine fits right into it. Each episode is so carefully curated and written, with subplots and unexpected turns, it keeps you on the edge of the seat, every single time. 

  • Besides this, it also provides quite a few instances of pretty valuable 'life advices'. Few of them include:
    - Not letting other's hate deter you from your goal: Captain Raymond Holt fought through excessive homophobia and racism and came up to his position on his own merit
    -Being immature is a good thing(sometimes): Jake's immaturity was a continuous storyline throughout the 8 seasons of the show. The show portrays several scenes where he acts like an absolute goofball, but many a times it helps solve the biggest plots.
    - Be confident: 2 words- Gina Linetti.

  • Nonetheless, the show also keeps it real, throwing limelight on various important topics existing in today's world-in the best possible way; be it feminism, racism, police brutality or homophobia.

  • Deep inside, we all want to be a bit of Rosa: Be it her fearless confidence or her freakishly smart brain, she gives us a strong feeling of empowerment. She shows us that it's okay to be strong and firm as long as you're not hurting anyone.  
  • "Cool cool cool cool cool" is definitely my motto anytime something untoward happens, helping me deal with it in a lot easier way, because its "cool". Sab theek ho jayega🤷🏻‍♀️

  • Last but not the least, the amazing, inclusive cast. Unlike most tv shows, B99 made sure to include characters from all over the world-and not just as a "compulsion." 
Alright, I won't give out any more "spoilers", but if you ever wanna hear me ramble more about my love for this show, make sure to hit me up!

Brooklyn Nine Nine, is some what as a comfort show to me and I hope it can be yours too :)
That was it for today's post!

The Broken Hot Chocolate Machine

 I've been in college for about over a month now. In the 40 days I've spent here, I've visited the food hall over 100 times - of which the Hot chocolate machine has been broken for over 90. Bombay's humidity was quickly replaced by Boston's "Fall" (it's winter guys) and the only thing helping me through the transition was a cup of hot chocolate every morning. But about 2 weeks in, the hot chocolate machine broke.       Initially, a piece of paper, closely stuck by tape, lay pressed against the machine: " Hot Chocolate Machine is Broken! "  4 weeks in, it's now a laminated sheet of paper, carefully stuck to the machine. Someone took the time to type it out onto a computer, print it, cut it, have it laminated, and stick it up to the machine. Do you know what they could be doing in that time? (Hint: getting the machine fixed!) This post is not about the machine. (Obviously Kuhu, it's a Mental Health blog - get to the point!) We often pro

The Constant Comparison Circle

"Wish I had hair like them." "How do they manage being the best at EVERYTHING?" "They're so fit  - look at me: a couch potato" We've all compared ourselves with the people around us. We all compare ourselves with the people around us. We get jealous, begrudged and green with envy. And sometimes we just smile to not let the world know. We get insecure. We feel bad. But what we always forget to accept is the state of the situation. Our situation - their situation. Literally no one out there is a 100% happy with their lives. And, unlike the cliches, maybe we shouldn't be.  Who said that you have to be happy all the time? If you're happy all the time then how do you become a better version of yourself? There will always be someone smarter, richer, more popular, and better-looking than you. Healthy competition is good. It's not a bad thing to have people be better than you. It's a bad thing if you accept that you can never work hard and

Consistency and the 4 Year Special

“Isn’t it funny how, day by day, nothing changes, but when we look back, everything is different.” -C.S. Lewis If you go to the gym for the first time, and you work out, and you come back, you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. If you go to the gym the next day, and you come back, and you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. Clearly, there are no results, can't be measured, it must not be effective, right? This is the thought that often leads to us quitting. The problem doesn't solely lie in the lack of patience, but rather, in the lack of material. If we don't see it, we tend to believe it doesn't exist. That's where we get it wrong. "Good things take time. Getting better takes time. Building a habit takes time." But they also take consistency.  Going to the gym for nine hours does for a day not get you into shape. Working out every day for 30 minutes gets you into shape. Studying a chapter one night before may work (sometimes); but in t

Is a Fresh Start Always the Best Thing?

-

 Before starting Junior year, I pledged to myself that I would make it "my year." I would study super hard, I'd make a million friends, and I'd come under the teacher's radar. Jump to September 2022,  I was burnt out. Walking back home with earphones plugged in, I remembered the first line of this post. And then I also realised how incredibly stupid it was of me to think I could ever accomplish it. Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't stupid because it was unattainable; it was stupid because it was unsustainable. Many a time, when we wish to just give up everything and "move on" ( start completely fresh), we tend to forget our past and our learnings from it. That is (one of) the biggest mistake we as humans make. Rather than acknowledging a fact, we tend to ignore it and act like nothing happened because after all, Ignorance is Bliss, na? A fresh start shouldn't mean giving up your whole life in pursuit of something new. A fresh start is when yo
