Game of Thrones Season 6: Theories of an Indian Fan

Presenting my theories and gumptions after GoT Season 6 premiere on upcoming course of actions:

1) Jon Snow is not 'really' dead. No network producer in USA likes to pay a dead corpse for appearing in almost all the episodes of its flagship show, the least of them all, HBO.

2) Stannis Baratheon doesn't look dead as well. Wait, we have seen enough deaths of class 1 characters of GoT, so why won't it allow us to see the actual and not 'unseen' beheading of Stannis. Besides, Stannis indeed is the only true-blood Baratheon left in the show and appears a real, lost, ambiguous yet passionate character. And Brinne, well ain't she lovely? As much as she was loyal to Renly, she ain't really a great killer. Remember the Lannister episode?

3) Melissandre, the red priestess and headliner of first episode of GoT S06 is not a prophet but a witch. We know and have seen the actions of deviant religious characters in real lives, like those whom Joan of Arc fought in 13th century (check the date) and thus lynching of Shireen Baratheon was one ugliest incident which showed us the glimpses of degenerating mind of Melissandre. Many skeptics of GoT cried out loud when Sansa Stark was allegedly brutally raped by Ramsay Bolton but the scene became a real diabolical one for Ramsay asked Theon Grevjoy to stay in the room. Theon has known Sansa real well and his mental bruises leaked pools of blood while seeing Ramsay unleashing his snobbery of worst kind on Sansa. We have seen such type of incidents being portrayed on Silver Screen and many of arguably have been more cruel than this particular episode but when a righteous character as noble as a 14 year old Shireen who loved her father dearly got burnt alive, no dispassionate or passionate fan shrieked even a fake wail, let alone tearing their eyes.

4) WhiteWalkers are sitting just beyond the wall and episode 8 of season 5 proved that they are the mightiest of them all. In episode 3 or 4 this season, another war is going to be unleashed. Why won't they like to sit idle when they very well know they could conquer the world that easily? And guess, who is going to resist them? Well, who else than the 'undead' Jon Snow with his 'made of Valyrian steel' sellsword?

5) Ser Jorah Mormont, infected with Greyscale disease, is going to die this season. You pretty much know that, don't you? Well, after seeing his beloved Khaleesi well off those barbaric Dothrakis.

Anybody like to add something to them?

P.S. Hoffman & Joaquin Phoenix: The Master

My infatuation with the movies is well known but my involvement with the actors and their characters is even more heartwarming. There are innumerable movies that I saw simply because they featured my favorite actors, however they themselves were not great. Examples could be infinite, however for the sake of this article I'll have to produce something here. Anger Management for Jack Nicholson (boy, isn't he a legend?), Swing Vote for Kevin Costner, Snatch for Brad Pitt, Legends of the Fall (Brad Pitt), Leon: The Professional, Immortal Beloved, Bram Stroker's Dracula, State of Grace & Prick up your ears; all for Gary Oldman (mind you, he is a chameleon). Meanwhile, I started accumulating some of the finest performances by some of the legendary actors of all time. Very recently, as anyone who follows me regularly knows, I grew very much fond of the craft and artistry of Daniel Day-Lewis. He is a fine, fine actor whose study and impersonation of a character is often pictur...

A Monumental 30-years Wait for Premier League Title is Finally Over for Liverpool

Finally, yeah finally. Liverpool, my beloved lads in Reds conquered the England. 30 years. It's been a long wait but this title run was worth the wait..... From the bottlers of 2013-14 to the one point loser of 2018-19, to the Champions of 2019-20; it's been a remarkable story I am chasing after since 2004-05 and I have seem many come and go but Liverpool's RED stuck to me and Jurgen Klopp's mentality monsters just bulldozed their way through the English Premiere League title after 30 years in such a way that it seemed it was never ever far away from our grasp. Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur; look away now, guys.....this moment is ours to savour. There was a time when you laughed at us thinking how in hell Liverpool became 18 times champions of English Football bit this sweet 19th will remind you for a long, long time how we became 18-time English Champions at the first place. A huge shout-out to my man, Steven Ge...

BBC's India's Daughter: An Indian Response

I assume you all have watched BBC's Documentary on Nirbhaya a.k.a Jyoti Singh (I don't know whether I'm legally entitled to speak up her name publicly in India or not, but let's take the risk). It goes by the name 'India's Daughter' in India, but at the same time, it's banned here. Though it was released way back on 4th March and I downloaded it right away on the very next day for my relatives but only yesterday, I got to watch it and that's only because Meryl Streep vouched for it for an elusive 'Oscars Nomination'. That's not to say that I was skeptical of its content or plot but somewhere I was afraid that I couldn't quite grasp its central idea. So let me tell you that if you are a parent or a certain male chauvinist, you can certainly do away with a strong stomach for it will certainly test your strength of character. Awaneendra who was accompanying Jyoti that fateful night, was when asked later to comment on this documentary, ...
