Remember the moment when you were all broken…no fun in life, literally bored every 5 seconds..& then you found out about this amazing thing which you just can’t put down.??? It starts as a hobby, then turns out to be an addiction & at last it becomes an integral part of your life…a day without it, is like a day without sunlight ,ponds without fish…all in all super boring! for me , it was an American sitcom How I Met Your Mother. I really don’t remember how it all started but when it did , it sure never ended !
For all those of you who haven’t seen it till now( if u haven’t ,you are a douche bag! go watch it!!)..it’s a story of a man who narrates his children how he met their mother, i still remember the first line ted said in the pilot episode…”kids i’m gonna tell you an incredible story , the story of how i met your mother!” if asked i can narrate the whole story from the pilot episode till the finale, it’s just at the tip of my tongue,you name the episode & i’ll depict it to you..i’ll even throw some high fives in between the narration.. that is the level of addiction or you can say the amount of brain space it has made in my cerebrum!
So most of you would have seen the season finale….and yes that was totally unexpected..A real ‘Major Disappointment’…i won’t say i didn’t cry…but as Marshals says…a little white tender flower cried about it in the shower all night! The mother’s death…Robin & Barney’s Divorce & Robin again being the soul mate of Ted..it was really not what i expected…but it wasn’t that bad too…realistic is the word for it!
Like every failed relationships (in this case mine with HIMYM) there are some memorable moments…and it has loads…
Ted stealing the blue french horn for Robin (twice), high fives by Barney, Marshal shaving his head during his wedding ,Lily being the perfect wife..and Robin going all Canadian…the Slaps-giving, the Perfect week by Barney, Stripper lily & more & more & more…
but HIMYM wasn’t just a regular rom-com, it had it’s own moments of reality….both Bays and Thomas kept their moments of realism. The Death of Marshals father , Lily & Marshal breaking off, Robin finding that she could never be a mother, Barney confronting his real father for not being there for him, the mother’s death. Everything was kept simple yet real!though many can relate watching each of these episodes with wet eyes and sobbing.. but all those episodes also thought us loads with every passing second..
and then there were catch phrases ….yup the first one LEGEN wait for it Dary!, Haaaaaaave you met TED!?, Highest of fives, Barnacle, actually most of it was because of barney ! all hail barney..he was really Legendary!
the ‘Nothing good Happen After 2 AM rule, the play book, the bro- code, barney’s gay black brother,and who could forget Robin Sparkles and her alter ego grunge singing Robin Daggers…stripper Lilly, the Cock-a-Mouse, robin’s addiction to guns and cigars, ted correcting everyones grammar, Marshal singing about everything he does…oh! at a whole it was awesome and for me i still can’t believe it ended!
But it’s nature’s rule ,’everything has an expiry date’ and it was better for the show to end … …but not the memories, not the fun, not the laughs and not the tears…everything else will continue to reside in my heart …
Ted thought me how to be a hopeless romantic getting heartbroken still being himself growing with each relationship and waiting patiently for the one that special one who’ll turn our life around, Marshal-Lily teaching how to be in a relationship still being awesome , they thought us how to keep the gang together, lily’s commitment to the group her sacrifices ,marshals sacrifices for her , Robin thought us that whatever your past was whatever your present throw at us, be subtle,get drunk,and focus on your aim! and Barney? he just thought us to Stop being sad and be Awesome instead..cuz he’s legendary he’s Barney.
so keep the friendship going, save all the seasons for your children to watch, sit back get drunk ,relax ,suit up, be awesome because everything will be alright at the end you just have to WAIT FOR IT………
