The Obsession Begins: C@RTOON C@RTOON

In this crazy world of crazier people sometimes you need to slow down, take a breath and feel the calm around you. It helps you think about the kind of person you once were and the kind of person you now have become. You might not be able to figure out how and when did you change but you will always remember why you changed and that change happening  right now will determine the kind of person you will become one day.

Today i need that calm to get back into the past for a while and discover some freshness in order to bring it back with me. I dedicate this post to all the cartoons and comics i read and saw and grew up. The best part is, all of it smells home. Read on:

#10: CAPTAIN PLANET: The lyrics are still fresh and so is the cause, 'To take the pollution down to zero.. Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart!!' I always wondered as a child why is heart amongst the forces and then later on in life i realized that its the most important of it all. Helps me feel the rest 9 thats going to follow.

#9: JETSONS/ FLINSTONES: Set in the future (J's) and the historic past (F's), they were made for each other. I never could enjoy one without the other. Hooked on as i was all i saw was how beautiful things were and how interesting they can get in the future. Completely diverse and highly entertaining.
Look at the contrast: For J's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpBqYcGqaaw and the F's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s13X66BFd8

#8: POWER PUFF GIRLS: 'The secret ingredientChemical X'. Oh holy mother of God the secret ingredient 'Chemical X' of the girls formula always made me wonder a zillion things. I will never admit that in public so please do not ask but yes i  did some experiments myself with chemistry trying to figure out the... arrggggghhh nevermind i was lame with science anyway. Good fight put up by MOJO JOJO though :)
Loved the tittle track too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mmCMUPCNgE

#7: TALESPIN/ DUCKTALES: Okay i hated Talespin the first time i saw it. I mean ugly fat animals flying a plane? Dude! But anyhoo my kid brother was crazy about it so i ended up spending hours myself too watching it. Mostly i watched it because what followed was Ducktales ooohh hhoooo ooo.. (you were supposed to hear that with the trademark music which i hope you did for your own good ;) ) I was totally mad about the series, Uncle Scrooch, the triplets, Mrs Beakley and the gold coins. Me and Mishee had a deal, he watched Ducktales for me and i returned the favor with stupid Talespin. They were the best moments of my bossy childhood. Yes we bonded over Disney Hour. Thank uou Sony Ent Ltd, Star TV and ZEE TV.

#6: CINDRELLA: The super hot Prince and his charms made me a girl in the heart. :) He was the first animated character i actually fell in love with.(Note: Crushes are not being taken into account here) He was handsome, polite, friendly, charming, intelligent and plain hot. Smoking rich. C'mon he had a palace and a castle.I know i was suppose to be innocent back then but then who are you to judge?!
PS: I somehow can't find the suitable links to show you but yes the show wasn't imaginary! :\ ;)
Unlike some other people may choose to believe. :\ (hunhh)

#5: PETER PAN AND TINKER BELL: When i was 8 i had this huge story book of peter pan and tinker bell. The font was largest and the pictures were colored, big and enchanting. Something about the entire thing was elegant and boyish at the same time. And the fact that they could all fly completely blew me away. The Superman powers never did that to me ever although. I think the reason was the fairy dust and tinker bells' house. Tiny and pretty.

#4: ALICE IN WONDERLAND: Okay have you heard the song by Avril Lavingne called 'Alice'? Do it right away and then continue to read: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyDRbx8nWFg
Moving on, I hope all of us remember Alice and her adventures thanks to the 2010 hit movie, but i am talking little Alice and her vivid imaginations that made me realize that being crazy is so much fun. Also i think it was during that time when i started day dreaming creatively and created problems for my mom and dad. I never said i was an easy child. But the entire imagination still takes me to a place where i know that the heart and the mind come together to create something strong as well as delicately beautiful. To add, which i will, the fashion in the movie Dear God was breath taking. A dear designer friend 'Parvani' once told me, 'Dude fashion is heading towards something like what you saw in Alice in Wonderland and its so fucking crazy. Ya dude. Ya Dude. (more giggles)' Exact words. :)

#3: X MEN WOLVERINE: My brother keeps telling me, 'Didi your a boy and a partly nerd one. You beat boys at video games, you bossed over me our entire childhood, you used to beat and fight with your friends all the time, your a tech geek, and your practically crazy and very unladylike like except  for the looks' I take that as a compliment and move on but i do tell him its his fault. He is the one who introduced me to the X Men series. The animations, the comics and the movie. Then Hugh Jackman came along and the reason no longer stayed brotherly. ;)
I don't think i need to put links for this one. If you still need them to see what is a Wolverine then stop reading my blog right now its not for you. Go away.. Shooo....

#2: DEXTER'S LABRATORY: Very recently a certain 'Motylal' uploaded her profile picture wherein she tagged herself as the 'Dee Dee' and her brother as ' Dexter'. It inspired me to write this post in the first place. :) The point is, throughout my entire childhood and even now Mishee has been the science boy aka Dexter and has lived upto that name. On the other hand i am the 'Dee Dee' who is carefree and totally awesome. So out of respect for the show and my relationship with my younger brother, i take a few moments and write some more. I wouldnt have been the same without all the above cartoons and i definetly wouldn't have been the same without watching it along with Mishee. I totally love you man.

# NUMERO UNO: THE LITTLE MERMAID: The flamboyance, the spirit of crazy, red flowing hair, carefree, adventurous, beautiful, strong, the courage of standing up for her dreams. 'Respect'. She was everything i wanted to be the moment i saw her on Disney Hour. That was also the first time i actually fell in love with me. Also lets not forget the super hot bonus she got. Prince Eric. Relating it to my personal life. Haha. Well even i had a certain fishbowl myself and in it i had put my 2 goldfishes and named them 'Ariel 'N Eric' See the picture!

They led a life of beauty and love. May they RIP..
Coming back, i am still completely awed by her character and persona. I am quite sure she would have been a Cancerian herself but more on that later. :)
Just see how the movie begins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPSddt8zORE
Its beautiful.

It always has been.
Lots of love,
Pk'

PS: If you were looking for Iron-man, Batman, Spider-man, Superman or any other kind of man do not be heart broken. That obsession never came until childhood. And by childhood i mean till i was 14- 15 yr old. And i was thin till then as well. So more on that also later. :)
