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?

Love and Friendship

Friendship is an aspect of life that’s not controlled by its beholders. Ideal friendships, well they are the things of past now. Many a times we have seen our parents or their parents talking about their old great friends and how amusingly they tell us about their bonding, the moments they spent together and we see a ‘priceless’ twinkle in their eyes…..that’s something which is missing from modern friendships. There are terms & phrases like ‘yaar tu to apna bhai hai’, ‘yaar tu to ghar ka aadmi hai’ which even today invoke something very beautiful inside our hearts but we all know that the feelings underneath them are ‘hollow’, they are just mere words, ‘emotionless’ and ‘impassive’. Well who am I to comment on such an indefinable ‘qualitative’ perspective? I’m one of you, those wretched creatures that are still in need of true, great friendships. Well I certainly can’t say that I haven’t got friends. I’ve got friends, plenty of them in fact, and some of them are real great. I s...

Racing Extinction (2015) : A Commentary

It's really hard to switch on to a different language from the one you have constantly been tinkering with. I grew so accustomed to writing in Hindi in last few days that it started dawning on me that I might never be good again with my English. So this is a tester, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday, one of my movie group friends, an American by nationality, questioned my fondness of documentaries. I specifically wrote in one of my columns that documentaries demand your unwavering attention and once you gave 'that' to them, you are rewarded much more handsomely than a proper, narrative, fictitious film. My reasoning for believing so is that a documentary is an experience of a creative process. It doesn't get made to 'entertain' you. They are there to reveal something to you. They teach you something. You get overwhelmed by them. 'Racing Extinction (2015)' was one such documentary. I watched it in last couple of days. I couldn't complete it in one ...

What Virat Kohli Could Learn from Sourav Ganguly's Career

This IPL season might be dubbed as 'Kohli's IPL' in years to come. He is unarguably the best exponent of white-ball batsmanship going around. However, for someone like me who places a great emphasis on longest form of Cricket i.e. Test Cricket, until and unless he proves himself in seeming and swinging conditions of England and New Zealand (I believe in him and thus shall wish him luck), I shall still rank him behind Kane Williamson and Joe Root. Just to make sure I'm impartial to this debate, I put my favorite cricketer of all time i.e. Sourav Ganguly behind Sachin, Sehwag, Laxman and Dravid when it comes to rank him in FAB FIVE of Indian Batsmanship because he simply wasn't as good as them in test cricket. Many call him a very good test cricketer and maintaining an average of 40 in test cricket from the very beginning till the very end signifies their reasoning but still, he fell short of 45/50 that makes a batsman statistical behemoth in purest form of Cricket. ...
