Missing Robin Williams days

I don't know about other people, but the first picture of Robin Williams in my mind fades in from Jumanji, yes, the original one. For me as a boy, Jumanji was just a way to enjoy an exciting journey, maybe for some people it wasn't the finest work of Robin Williams, but for me, it was always the "Alan Parrish" that concluded the movie with a powerful lesson about father and son's relationship. When I grew up and became a film-goer, I wanted to learn more about the work of Williams and became a big fan of him after watching "Good morning Vietnam" and “Aladdin” but the best was yet to come. 

I later realized how a person can perform so naturally in complicated scenarios of "Good Will Hunting", "Patch Adams" and "Mrs. Doubtfire" If you have not watched them yet, just immediately add them to your watch list. 

The long-term comedian and actor would have turned 69 today, who died six years ago, and it's very difficult to articulate that he's gone and most of his fans don't really want to believe it, continuing to make him immortal among them. 

He was born in Chicago on 21 July 1951 and committed suicide on 11 August 2014 at his home north of San Francisco, less than a month after he turned 63. His death shocked his fans, and they did not know what happened. Reporters reported he had a major depression and Parkinson's disease. Yet it was identified that he was diagnosed in his autopsy as having developed Lewy body dementia. This is the second most common dementia after Alzheimer's. This untreatable brain condition disrupts the memory and gets worse with changes in personality and psychiatric problems leading to death.

William has an Oscar under his belt for "Good Will Hunting" and Golden Globe and Emmy. He's got 65 wins from 85 nominations. The blog is a tribute to one of my favorite comedian-actor who once tweeted, "Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind, Always".

Three highly anticipated video game titles

Image
PC gaming is an addiction but mostly in a positive way. It generates good vibes in gamers and prepare them to face their routine work. A recent ban imposed on a mobile edition of PUBG (Player unknown’s battleground) by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority raised a new debate either video gaming is pushing kids towards violence or not. I have been a gamer for the last two decades and played countless titles from very diverse genre selection. Most of my time spent against first-person shooters and believe me it never urged me to be violent from any aspect. Gaming remained merely a hobby for me till 2010 and later on a good stress buster. Anyhow this blog is not for debate against or in favor of gaming and there will be another blog for this specific topic. Addiction to anything could lead to negative things but if you are good and addicted to video gaming, make it your career path. So further in this blog, I will be introducing three upcoming PC game titles I have been waiting this...

Three anime shows to watch during quarantine

Image
We all know what anime is like right if its not super giant robots fighting toiling wins or the supernatural. Its a sleazy love triangle and some high school drama or the combination of above four. During the quarantine days I got a chance to watch three anime shows beside many other series to kill my time and I found these three very interesting so I thought I might share my experience with you all. Samurai Champloo Samurai Champloo is the second series by the director Shin’ichiro Watanabe after Cowboy Bebop. Series is more episodic where each episode contains a story of its own. The show is about the journey than the destination itself. Three main characters are Mugen, Jin, and Fuu. Mugen seems a very dynamic character while Jin is a dull one. Fuu can be described as a monkey on a push bicycle. Soundtracks deserve a mention because the anime uses hip hop as its main theme and music fits surprisingly best for the series. For the animation this is one of the best animations ...
