Falling For You (a Gravitational Love Song)

No matter what people have promised to you,

No matter how they have treated you,

Remember that, at the end of the day,

It will always be you collecting your broken pieces and making them afresh and workable

No one is coming to help, but only YOU will!

Looking at the present government,

I realised why Socrates hated democracy!🤷🏾‍♀️

I believe the Wedding episode (1x08) is a particularily big Outlander ep in the fandom, widely regarded as one of the best. Perhpaps try to watch until then and see if it keeps your interest?

Wedding of Claire and Jamie? Or whose wedding we're talking about here?

I'm sorry😅 just wanted a bit of clearance.

Thanks for your response😊

I saw this on Pinterest,

Thought it would be better to share it on Tumblr.

I think Billy should be given a second chance, considering how rough his childhood was and how hard his father was on him.

What do you guys think?

Me Before You

After searching straight two days I finally got a link to download the movie “Me Before You”. I don’t know why I was so eager to watch this movie, maybe because the appreciation it has received or just the fact that it has Emilia Clarke playing the main lead. Anyway I downloaded it and then I came to know that it was based on the novel of the same name by Jojo Moyes. So as for my calculation and observation it is better to read a book before watching the movie based on it. It took me one and a half day to finish this book.

Book:

This story is based on protagonist named Will Traynor, a successful, passionate, adventurous and sporty person who loves travelling and do anything which pushes him to the verge which makes his life more amazing. Its 2007, when he’s leaving for his office and the rain was pouring heavily and while he was crossing the road to hail a cab then bam a bike lost its control and hit him. That accident made Will quadriplegic. The story starts two years after that accident. Louisa Clark, a bubbly and chirpy girl, who belongs to the middle class family and trying her best to feed her family. It’s the time of recession and Louisa is one of those people who loses her job. Then she tries her luck in different job but couldn’t get along with any. Then she finds the job as a carer at Traynor’s house that are paying hourly wage. Her parents push her to try for this job. The job based on the contract of six-months to take care or somehow entertain Will Traynor. At first the job seems to her pretty boring because the way Will talks to her made her blood boil. Soon after they become good friends and Will tries to pursue her to do those things which she thinks are not her cup of tea.

I like it when Will try to pushes Louisa to an edge where she has done anything which is extreme for her like tattoo making, scuba diving, etc. things she only dreamt about but never wanted to take a risk of getting out of her comfort zone. On the other hand, Louisa is trying her best for Will to change his mind and never go to Switzerland. They both fell in love but Will knows that it’s not good for both of them to be like this forever. The story ends with Louisa sitting in Paris reading the letter that Will has written for her before his death. It’s Will wish that Louisa should see the world and do everything which makes her happy and he’ll be there for her.

I can’t forget about the letter, each words are still resonate in my ear and it’s like he’s written that for me I know it sound stupid because I cry for that like an idiot and I can’t help it.

Movie:

As soon as I finished reading the book, I started watching movie.  Well, talking about movie it’s not that much good but the fact is they can’t put whole book in just 1:30-2:00 hours. But it is not that bad, a must watch movie along with Ed Sheeran songs in it. Besides, most of the dialogues are taken from the book. I like Emilia Clarke’s acting, but still it’s funny to see how “mother of dragons” go crazy over stripy-tights as a present on her birthday (just kidding). The voice of Sam Claflin is so mesmerising, I can listen to him all day, why doesn’t he become a radio jockey (another bad joke, sorry for that).

While watching the movie, I remembered Bollywood movie named Guzaarish (2010). The movie revolves around the magician named Ethan Mascarenhas (Hritik Roshan) who is quadriplegic since 14 years and files the petition in court asking for ending his life. But the court rejects his plea. Sofia D’Souza (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) his caretaker who’s been with him since twelve years after his accident and was married to a man who’s abusive to her. Later on Sofia gets divorce from her former husband and confess her love to Ethan. Ethan on other hand loves her too. In the end of the movie Ethan invites all of his closest people and says that he will be dying a happy man with no regrets and a heart full of Sofia’s love and bids all goodbye.

The story in this book (Me Before You) talks about the people who have lost control over their body due to severe spinal injury caused by accident. There are mainly four types of paralysis, namely, Quadriplegic (is a paralysis below the neck), monoplegia (is a paralysis of single part of the body), hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) and paraplegia (is the paralysis below the waist). Though sometimes paralysis can be temporary and can be cured with proper treatment. But the fact is if it’s happen once then the chances are it can come back again. Because paralysis effects the spinal cord and spinal cord connects brain to the nerves throughout the body. Unfortunately, in many cases paralysis isn’t curable. Though medical scientist are trying their best to find the solution for curing it. In the year 2016, there was a news claiming for a treatment of quadriplegic patient. Neuroscientist treated quadriplegic with stem cells and that patient had substantially recovered the functions of his upper body within two months into the process. You can read the whole article here.

There is a non-profit organisation named Dignitas in Switzerland, which provide assistance/accompanied suicide to those people who are suffering from long-time terminal/severe physical/ or mental illness with support from qualified Swiss doctors. Doctors check the person’s previous treatment report and ask them whether it’s their wish to die or they’re coerced to do so. Though the method is a bit costly but some people prefer it to die peacefully. Dignitas is mentioned in book as well as in movie where Will has gone to end his life.

When I finished reading I was thinking what if Will listened to Louisa and never have gone to Switzerland? Will that make his life more miserable and painful or better?

At the end, this story reminds me that not every person are meant to stay in our life forever, no matter how hard we try to stop them to go, but eventually they play vital role to change our life for better.

Life

Life is an amazing thing we ever get from God... It gave us so many challenges,so many exams... But it is us who have to choose about rights and wrongs of life :) This decision can make our life worse or can make our life better than ever

If only, darling. If only... *exasperated sigh*

If I had a dollar for every fictional character I caught feelings for...I could afford the therapy I obviously need
