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!

Blah Days

-
Image
  Some days rule: You feel like the most productive person in the world, everything seems to go your way and life feels good; you're on Cloud 9. Some days suck: They make you feel sad and all you want to do on those days is curl up into your blanket and wait for the day to end. And some days, are simply, blah: The middle ground. Blah days are ones where you don't feel your best - something just feels off; things don't seem to snap into place and the very idea of getting it into place leaves you with lethargy. But why are they important? Why do most of us experience it, regularly? Because these, unexpectedly, are the "scariest days": they make you question your current lifestyle, your environment, your life. I don't like the above thought. Instead, I like to look at them as perspective days. Blah days are those which help you realise what you're doing with life and what your goals are. See, when you're in a state of enjoyment or morose-ness, chances are...

"I'm Traumatised"

-

Recently, I was talking to a bunch of people and ranting about the Hindi syllabus of ICSE . For those who went through the system, you and I both know the struggle of reading Sukhi daali and Deepdan. For those who didn't, just be glad. The thing that irked me the most about that conversation was that they kept referring to the chapters as "traumatic." And I realised that this wasn't the first time such an incident occurred in front of me. By introspecting my conversations with people, I realised the term was trivialised, simply because they didn't know what it meant . Google defines Trauma as an emotional response caused by severe distressing events that are outside the normal range of human experiences. Take a second to read the underlined words: severe, distressing, outside normal. Trauma is a strong word. Unfortunately, it has become ubiquitous in our lexicon, applied liberally to describe an ever-widening spectrum of experiences. When you use this word in ...

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...

Mental Health Illnesses=Cool?

  Hey Everyone!! Welcome to Mental Health Awareness Month! So, we all may have a come across with at least one person in our lives who might have used the name of a mental disorder incorrectly. I've had my share too. I have seen a lot of people claim that they are "depressed" or have "anxiety" without really knowing what it is. Took me a while to understand why they said stuff like this, but when found out the reason I was appalled. To look cool, duh "Seriously?!" That was my exact reaction-in every tone imaginable. Sarcastic, shocked, surprised, amazed, aghast and what not! This very encounter is the reason why I chose to write to write on this topic and throw some light on why having a mental illness IS NOT "COOL". For starters, why would you want to diagnose yourself with something you don't have? You wouldn't do that if  it were a physical illness, right? You wouldn't say that you've gotten a fracture when its simply a spr...
