"How I met your mother"

I chanced upon this sitcom the other day! I don't know about all the other guys who have TVs at home and who also have STBs (thus enjoying the previlage of being able to watch all the 100s of great channels), but for us poor IITians who have no access to TV (Even if we do, it is hardly ever possible to catch the good shows), this sitcom is...mmm...not very known!(WOW! that was a looong sentence(with all the brackets and all...)(ha ha!))

Now that F.R.I.E.N.D.S is off the air there are plenty of sitcoms vying for that top 10year 8:30 pm slot.....'JOEY' seems to be doing well there, and as far as I saw (Season-2), its a good show!!!
Now, coming back to the point... I have been watching 'Coupling' too...For those of you who don't know....it's a Brit Sitcom, has three guys and three girls who meet all the time at a pub and drink loads of beer(Now...where have we heard that before?yeah yeah....its the new Central (be)erk...:)).....but I don't enjoy it too much because it's a little too vulgar for my taste...

So as I was browsing through some stuff on my laptop, I chanced upon a few episodes of 'HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER'....first glance at the name, and I thought it had to be some kind of Porn movie (Ok! I am a pervert).....but then I saw that there was 'Season-1, Episode-01' written under the mpeg file and I understood it was a SIT COM!!! I am big fan of sitcoms and so i watched one episode and then another and then another and in sometime I had watched all fifteen episodes of season-1.....well...I seriously see some potential in this one.....has 5 poeple in it...the pic shows 'em all....some fabulous dialogues and acting...kinda feels like a cocktail of FRIENDS, JOEY and a little bit of originality! It's essentially about a guy who is telling his kids about how he met their mother and every episode is a story.....the best thing is the mother has not showed up yet...and I really don't know when she will...It does not matter...the whole thought of a really nice single guy meeting the love of his life keeps the audience hooked.....episode after episode after episode.....

And of-course the review has to be followed by some of my own emotional ranting....watching the sitcom and laughing, just makes me realise how lucky I am to have some great friends here .....we have fun, we have our own stories and some day when I get married, maybe I will be telling my kids about how I met their father .......I am sure all my friends would feature in these stories too!!!

We will be going our ways soon (in 2 months )...joining various organisations and moving on with life....it saddens me...but at the same time there is a gut feeling that we will look out for each other always...even when we are 50, we would still be joking about Dada's gazillion futile trials to find a BABE and how his SOULMATE found him...;)....joke about Sid being obsessed with money....me being obsessed with how FAT I am and so on.....

Bottom Line: Please do watch 'How I met your mother'...I am sure you will LOVE it!!!

P.S. If you are wondering why the last few posts have been centred around movies and sitcoms... I am mutating into a COUCH POTATO!!!!!

Adios......
