The unexpected vogue of Shin Chan

Recently there has been a huge coverage of this dubbed Japanese TV show, Crayon  Shin-chan. This show has been running for more than 10 years in India and never I have ever seen such  surge in its popularity since its “controversial ban’ in the ’08. But the popularity it received is huge this time, especially in Tamil Nadu. I believe this started with the viral sharing of the ‘Amaeidhi amaeidhi’  (Silence silence) video through Whatsapp. People just went head over heels for the slapstick comedies and counter dialogues of this 5 year old. Before we move any further, did you know about the history of the show? The show, originally called Crayon Shin-chan ( クレヨンしんちゃん ) has its origins in the early 90s  when manga (Japanese comic) artist Yoshito Usui decided to work on a few comic strips about a middle  classhappy family of four. The story revolves around their day to day life of stingy savings of money and  school life of our h...

The wind chime

‘The cartons are all done with, shall we start moving them?’,  Jim asked. They were moving to a new place, away from their current home which gave them enough nightmare to last a life time. It wasn’t just some horror they experienced. Fear, bad vibe, sickness, etc.,. The times were bad for them and they wanted change. So they decided to move away from here. ‘Did you put all my books into one or randomly packed them?’ Onia asked, knowing her better half would rather want the packing to get over as soon as possible rather than spent another minute here packing. ‘You’re afraid of misplacing your books rather than moving out of here.’ ‘Fine, let’s get ready then.’ ‘Don’t worry, everything’s in place.’ ‘I’m calling the movers. You get the fragile ones and set them with the glassware I kept in the corner.’ Their stuffs were all packed. The movers were almost at the front gate. They heard a mini truck stop by their front gate. *** Doors flew open. People getting out f...

A shard of light

The bulb glowed weaker than it did yesterday. I couldn’t really understand the purpose of it, anyways. The room felt as dark as it ever was. The bulb could do nothing to lighten it. The lonely bulb was lit but the light never escaped from it. The bulb felt more or less a containment for the light. As if it was trying to hold on to its final light energy. The darkness already engulfed me by the time I spend staring at the weak bulb, thinking about it. It didn’t matter though. It always ended up with me waking up drenched in sweat, panting, eyes going crazy looking around after waking up. My brain naturally did that. Couldn’t get it to understand the situation. Anyways…the matter at hand - the mysterious messenger who keeps coming in my dream. I needed to find the truth, who he is and what he wants. I don’t know why I keep referring him as the messenger. Never have I ever seen his face or even felt a bit of familiarity when I saw his dark shadowy figure in the distance. Tonight, was d...

An untidy set of issues (Part 2) : The future

Year 2607, the world changed the way you perceive it. The inventive discovery of the blour particle led the world to a fast forwarded phase. Humans evolved into much higher species. Greed, lust for power & strength made divisions among the the culture (as if there weren't enough of that in the early 21st century). The government broke. Rebels turned against the society. Waves of destructive people one after the other. Different from each other. Groups of each. They simply kept coming. Finally when the society and government failed. A new era broke through, a new kingdom. The strongest and most powerful families rose together and played off their best to proved their worth to hold control. And one that flourished is the first dystopian Kingdom Forge161 CF-312.  The rulers or should i say the blood thirsty monsters ruled since then. The family names were changed to codes and numbers ever since the population bloomed beyond ratio by the end of 25th century. It was havoc. The ...

An untidy set of issues (Part 1) : Time locomotion.

 Hello fellow humans , This blog may seem like one among the thousands available online. And yes, it is one. The difference is that we are gonna talk about something that is irrelevant but is gonna be a major issue in our distant future. Time travelling...travelling through time. (As if travelling through our polluted society isn't well enough). The reason people go behind the concept of time travelling is because of the science nature behind it and for the nerdy stuff that deals with physics and other incomprehensible words and topics. Well...that's what made me follow the concept of time travelling. Then again, there are people who studies it and wants it to be a possible concept that works. Maybe for the society to use it just like the common science inventions we use today . They only want it for the development of the society. But then again is there a possibility for time travelling? Obviously not. The researches that goes on in the world now (related to TT) are m...
