Popeye - The sailor man!

This is One of my favourite cartoon shows! N whenever I see this cartoon show... I feel soo very nostalgic about my childhood... It takes me back to my school days!
Me and my brother were a huge fans of this fictional Hero, "Popeye".. I was in standard 8th, when this cartoon show was first time telecasted on Cartoon Network in India... We never had a cable connection at home then... to watch this show.. we rushed to our Granny's house daily (We were in a joint family - though not exactly joint :P we had different television sets and the one in d ground floor - where my grandparents stayed had the cable connection)
The show timings wer 8:30 PM on weekdays.. and 6:30 pm on weekends! 


Boy oh boy it was fun watching them... we hurriedly finished our homeworks n all other stuffs well before 8:30 pm... n before the clock striking 8:30 .. we would just 
jump of the stairs zzooop!!! n land safely n catch some cozy places on the sofa in the Living Room of my granny's house... few of my cousins would wait untill we go there... n then the channel would get  changed to "CARTOON NETWORK" from some regional language channels! :) 


N there were days, even If we could not make it to the show... one of my cousin used to call me from the groundfloor... (we were residing on the first floor) "Akka bega ba... popeye shuru ayithu" (means "Sis.. come soon, popeye show has begun )


All of us, were dying to see Popeye n his fights wid Bluto - The villian... and his sweetheart "Olive Oyl".
Popeye has the unique way of speaking.. disproportionate muscles... with anchor tatoos :) n has a corncob pipe (tooting like steamship's whistle).


He was depicted as having amazing human strength! And the fights were between Popeye n Bluto - well this is because of the Love triangle between Popeye, Olive and Bluto ... Popeye loves Olive, Bluto loves Olive and they try to impress Olive to win her... n Olive gets to decide whom she wants... n the fight would begin between Popeye n Bluto... to outwit each other.. 
When fed up or exhausted, Popeye would eat spinach, which would instantly restore and amplify his strength to an even greater level.. (the way he opens the canned spinach is amazing.. It would be hidden in his T-shirt somewhere, n pulls it out... ) munching on the spinach gives him instant energy with Iron Fists n gives a Big blow to Bluto.... n finally he wins Olive Oyl... no doubt she gets impressed by him... :) n most of the episodes ends this way... also with the song... 


"I'm Popeye the sailor man
I'm Popeye the sailor man
I'm strong to the fin-ich
Cause I eats me spin-ach
I'm Popeye the sailor man" :)


Morals,were of course there - would remember for my Life time, Popeye's lines 


"I Yam what I Yam"  - a strong positive line! (which so inspiring n confidance building :)
- "Forgive n Forget" - where he forgives the mistakes of Bluto - n they remain frens (not forever - only for tat episode ;)
-Eat lots of greens - especially the spinach - helps building strength n stamina :)


Popeye is truely a Hero! He is simple yet amazing! He uses his super human strength in a righteous way... .. 
However strong U r.. use the strength for a good reason n for righteous things! never be brutal or Dishonest!


We Love U Popeye :) ... Popeye d sailor man!

Life == Thinking!

Boom... goes a thought - Just like cosmic rays... Boom.. it goes off again as a falling meteor...

From the time I realize, I exist and Im done wid my sleep..., until I hit back to my bed... I have soo many thoughts... few hitting, few of them just flowing... few of them exciting my brain cells! - n few of them really pushing up my confidence levels... n there are really a few, which bogs me down! for no reason... :( well, I tend to over come that, by another positive thought though' :)

As, I wake up from the bed.. in d morning...am left with silence around, but wid the sound of my own thoughts! I keep thinking...without noticing, amma's calling for me from the kitchen, but I keep mum.. absolutely dissolved in my own thoughts...!

Analyzing my dreams in my own ways n pace - Y was there nothing  better which could have happened than wat really happened in d dream... was it a dream or was it a reality! - did tat happen sometime back? or woul it be in near future?!?! I keep thinking....

I think... about my parents, my brother, the family in which I was born... my grandparents, my relatives,- who chose it for me! how did it all happen (Im happy about it tho' :) my friends - how did I choose them, what made me meet them! n my dear hubby - how did this best thing happen to me! ( we both have always felt, we were destined to each other :)

Sometimes through the window, I peep out - watching the rain... the light drizzles...

I keep thinking... Who created all these.. clouds, water, air... (of course there is lot of chemistry involved in evolution)... what made it to exist? was it just like that.. or was there any intent - who created it... "God" ?? where was he... was he in the form of humans... or was he in the form of an alien... coz he is the master of d universe... he would definitely not be like us (humans :) - I donno... or is he formless??? Where is his abode? amidst the black holes?? or in the centre of the galaxies...

If he is there... what would he be doing now? how did he decide upon the plan of making so many beautiful things, the colours, nature, leaves, mountain... snow! (Although thinking so may be illogical - but thoughts still do arise).

Why are there people who suffer without food, shelter, why there is so much of corruption... Why do ppl slaughter animals in d name of God? was there God's interference in all these??? Or is he just watching our wicked n cruel play from there...

Was our Life decided by him?? Or do, we get full ownership to lead our Life??

Life seemed to different for me at different stages of life, - when I was a kid... when I was in school, when i was in college... n Now...

The Fact is, It was the same before... Its the same now... will be the same in future, Its how I perceive it... my perception: co-relation of Painting with Life..

U wanna make it gud? go do it! - Is what I have always thought... Its as simple as - U want ur painting to be beautiful, choose appropriate colors, mix them in d right proportions - to get a brite hue n then paint some gud strokes, to give a definite shape n look... of what u have thought in d mind's eye! well within the boundry of the canvas... n there it goes.. all It needs is patience, determination (that u want ur painting to be d best), n finally the satisfaction n the happiness of using the best n bringing out the best!
Same is wid Life - just take in the good thoughts... try to make it in real, I have always tried to bring my dreams into reality.. Dream Big , Think Big…

I love my Life!  Whatsoever :) I will always respect the place where I am, the Life Im leading... coz it has so much Light, Love, Peace and energy!

I wanna Embrace my Life... wanna enjoy every ounce of my Life! coz Its just one Life.. I never know if at all, there is another Life... But wanna  make this one Big n beautiful!

N enjoy it to d fullest :) I don wanna miss even a bit of it :)

And when I am old n grey ..n when I look back into the saturation of Life... I never wanna feel... that I have left some stones unturned!
