The World is full of idiots!

The cynosure of the world right now is the video, made by Sam Bacile, an American-Israeli Jew, named "Innocence of Muslims" which depicts the holy Prophet of Islam,Muhammad (PBUH), as philanderer, womanizer and child molester. As a result, the whole Muslim nation all over the world has erupted;violent protests are being carried as a response to the vile video.

What I gathered from this is that the world is full of utter idiots. It is full of people who have shit instead of brain! The people who made and sponsored the video are idiots and hatemongers, the American Govt is idiot, the people who are supporting the video are idiots and the Muslims protesting violently are idiots!

The video was a grave and demure insult for all Muslims. It is a colossal abuse of freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is absolute ONLY when it does not impede the freedom of others. This video not only vilifies the right of the Muslims but also creates a spark for confrontation among the people.The American govt is an idiot for not censoring the video or stopping it's production wholly!If you can hide Bin Laden's body because it might anger the fundamentalist, then why the hell can't you criminalize such people who are begging for confrontation to occur between non Muslim and Muslims by hurting the Muslims where it hurts the most?

Now let's come to the Muslims. No matter what the non Muslims make as a video, it is not a legitimate excuse to kill innocent civilians! The ambassador had no hand on making the video-why kill him? Why make his children orphans or his wife a widow? Who gave you the right to hand out punishment? Allah(SWT) is the Supreme Judge and He will judge everyone fairly in the hereafter.

Moreover, Muslims are seen fighting with the security forces of their own country.What kind of an idiot doesn't understand that the security forces are not the ones who made the video!THEY ARE NOT THE BLOODY ENEMY! They are your brothers in fact ! Why the hell are fighting your own brother?

Coming to the point of burning down embassies.Seriously? When did violence do any good for us? Attacking foreign embassies will only give credence to the derogatory accusation they throw at us! By acting like violent beast incapable of reason, we are giving the non Muslims proof that Muslims are inherently violent! Such kind of wrong impression will work against us when we give dawah where as we were supposed to give dawah in the best possible way.Surely delineating yourself as a violent monkey does not improve your chance of converting someone!

Islam is a religion of peace.But does our action depict such a picture? If Muhammad (SA) can forgive and pray for the people who threw stones at him and abused him to the fullest, why can't we atleast try to live in peace with all the people of the world? Why can't the non Muslims just let us practice our faith in peace and not grossly insult billions of people? If Muhammad(SA) can make treaties with the non Muslim then why can't we? The reason we can't is because the world is full of idiots!

50/50: A Review

I do not know what inspired Jonathan Levine to combine comedy with CANCER, out of all things, but it was aesthetically done. 50/50 explores the life of Adam(Joseph Gordon Levitt) who has a rare form of spinal cancer. The plot revolves around the way he deals with it with his friend Kyle(Seth Rogen) and his constant battle to choose between himself and the people he holds dear;it is based upon a true story.

The Pros:

The best thing about the movie is the cast. Gordon-Levitt is a hugely talented actor and he provides his best stuff in 50/50. His portrayal of the humble,gentle and affable Adam is done with astute perfection and I cannot name any other cast who could have done a better job. He gives the 'good guy' vibe like no one else with his angelic, innocent smile and halfway through the movie you will be thinking " Can a guy be so naive?"

Seth Rogen is a born comedian, and this stage comedian turned actor lives up to his expectation. His expressions are timed to perfection and they are pant wetting funny. The best part of the movie was when Kyle caught Adam's girlfriend cheating on him and then busted her( I effing hate her!).

Another character that caught my attention and held it was Katherine played by Anna Kendricks. Katherine is Adam's psychiatrist and to Adam's utter surprise is only 24 years old, too young to be a doctor. She keeps on missing Adam's  euphemisms and is portrayed as a young doctor who is not sure what she is supposed to do. Kendricks beautifully expressed the untidiness and insecurity that her character demanded. I simply loved watching her in the movie.

The movie also had some other minor characters like Adam's chemotherapy buddies, his (ex) girlfriend, his mother, who over exerts herself in order to take care of him, and all of them were tied together in a neat little knot.

The Cons:

I will be blunt here, the movie is a little boring during the opening scenes. You have to power through quite a few segments before you are attached to it. 50/50 solely depended on Rogen to provide the humour and to me this is a negative point. Had Rogen's performance not been top notch, this movie would have lost all its flavor.

Even the ending was a little sketchy.I will not go into details for the fear of giving away too much, but let me just tell that it does not add up. You'll see what I mean when you finish watching it.



50/50 takes us inside the mind of a cancer patient, which is a place obscure and unknown to us and it gives us a chance to glimpse into this shadowy land.Overall, I would give this movie a 7.5 out of 10, and would recommend it.It is a nice way to slump in your chair with a snack in your hand and blow away a boring night.

How To Prepare for your (A2) Exams: A Guide

Just finished my high school and my last public exams. The feeling is.......quite weird actually. On one hand you  feel quite liberated and it seems that a huge chunk of rock named burden is lifted off your shoulders.But, on the other hand, the time where your career and life is shaped has come. The decisions you will be making at this point will mold your future. I read somewhere that people only make seven extremely important decisions in his/her life, and the first one is taken at this time period; the prospect is downright scary.

A2 is the hardest thing that I have ever come across in my life. Its so hard that I don't even remember doing any other difficult thing! So I have decided to help out the future students who will be tormented by this psychotic killer. Here is my HOW TO PREPARE FOR A2 EXAMS:

1) Unlimited supply of caffeine.

Neither fate nor determination will mold your future.But caffeine will. Make sure that you have an ample supply of caffeine in myriad forms to sustain you for the entire length of the exams. Forget about the syllabus, the notes, and what not, BUT NEVER FORGET TO ROB THE SUPERMARKET FOR COFFEE! It's also very important to get caffeine in various forms: coffee of different roasts, tea of various types (my personal favorite is green tea), energy drinks, coke etc. We don't want the taste buds to get bored, do we?
Why is caffeine the holy grail for A2? Because, no matter how many hours you have studied painstakingly, you will forget everything the night before the exam and, therefore, will have to start from the scratch. Caffeine is the only way to keep the machine inside your head keep on ticking.

2) A friend with similar studying strategy as yours.

My strategy for the exams were simple: do everything the night before. During my A2, I have taken 'Procrastination' to a whole new dimension. And fortunately, I had a friend who did the same! The night before the exam, he used to call me just before starting the study extravaganza and we made an all nighter routine. We planned what to study and how much time to spend on each chapter. Then we spent hours ruing our lost time and blaming Barclay's Premier League for inability to study before. It gets very stressful if you keep on studying high intensity stuff for hours and knowing that there is someone else out there who screwed up as bad as you really helps. It simply reminds you that you are not the sole screwed person before the exam.

3) No Sports

You must tell your TV operator to cut off all the sports channels that telecast football at least two days before the exam. Unfortunately, Euro 2012 was going on during my exams and boy oh boy did they vex my study schedule. It's an addiction. No matter how much you tell yourself that you'll only watch the game for 5 minutes and then return to your study table, you will always end up watching the entire game. And the lousy thing is, it doesn't matter whose game is on; high profile or low profile, each and every game becomes a tonne more commoving during an exam! Instead of trying to avoid the games, I tried a different strategy but with the same outcome: loss of a good few hours. I sat down with my books open wide in front of me, determined not to waste the hours and simultaneously watch the game, but I ended up looking at the screen from my book every time the commentator seemed a little agitated. I read a single page for the entire length of the game ( the game went on to penalties, by the way). So you see, the best way to avoid this is to make sure your TV is full of hindi channels which will irk out all your TV watching mood.

4) Cosmetics.

Confused? You'll understand what I mean when you'll reckon that half of your hair is gone midway through the exams.I'm not kidding! A Levels has this baleful affect on the students where it ages you to the point where you contemplate pension and retirement. Your hair will start falling out like leaves in Winter, and your eyes will sink into the black abyss of stress. So you must be prepared to face the aftermath of the exams; we don't want the pretty face to get the brunt of the exam,do we? You must gear up on anti hair fall products, acne creams, and blah blah blah. Ask your girl friend;she should know better.And if the reader is a girl then please post a list of the cosmetics everyone would need on the comment section.Thank You.


5) Be calm.


"Don't be afraid", " Be cool headed", 'Don't be tensed' - How many of you are sick of hearing these stereotypical pre-exam advices? I go about the 'be calm' advice in a tad bit different way. Why are we here? What is the purpose of life? Isn't life all about being happy? So why should we let our years go by being engulfed in tension and fear of the future? You get where I am getting at? Will our life be at it's end if we fail? Should we let such petty issues like exams ruin the few good years we have left? I SAY NO! LET THERE BE NO STRESS! LET US LIVE FREELY. BE CALM BEFORE THE EXAM. Now that you have a unstressed head, you better pass.



You know what, it really doesn't matter what you do. A2 will screw you over: either you will forget what you learned, or the questions will make you squeal like Justin Bieber in the exam hall. Even if you have a fantastic exam where you aced all the questions like an ultra nerd in hyper mode and are confident of at least getting an A, the mark scheme will shatter your false sense of security into oblivion. Edexcel examiners are ruthless morons. They should learn English from our editor in chief cause they have no clue what the question means.Happy dying, drenched in self loath and misery!

Celebrating Mediocrity!

‘Mediocre’- a word tainted dark by our society. They use the word in the worst of the senses, as if it is below POOR. A mediocre student is ignored by his parents and most of the school, shoved to a small corner, knowing he will not be missed by anyone, and that he will have no significant impact on the World.

We idolize the exceptional and the extraordinary. We let them define what ‘success’ means, and what to do in life to be ‘successful’. There is no place for the runners up, let alone the mediocre; we have re written social constitution, where how much TV exposure you can muster, how much wealth you can culminate, or how many majors you can complete within the shortest period of time determines if you are successful and happy in your life.

But a speech made by a certain Anthony Corvino of Binghamton University made me think otherwise, and led me to write this piece; he is the true aspiration behind this work. ‘Average is the new Exceptional’- he started, and it gave me a whole new perspective of life. ‘Average, now days, stands out amidst the sea of exceptional’- that is at least something to be proud of, right?

But giving it a more profound thought, I actually get closer to the last statement. Average actually stands out and taller than exceptional. The core reasoning behind this seemingly improbable line of idea is that success does not lie in your bank account or your trophy cabinet. It is not determined by how many people can figure out your face from a sea of faces. You are successful when you are happy, when you are satisfied. As much corny as it sounds, it is actually true! What good is your Lamborghini if you are too drunk in misery to drive it, right?

Being too much exceptional actually pushes you away from happiness. On the acme of this is the fact that it shoves you away from your family. When you are too busy with work, trying to make a world impact, you forget the impact that you were supposed to make on your son who is talking with his imaginary friend, because his real friend doesn’t think he is important enough. While you prepare the speech you are supposed to make at a World Economic Convention, your mother lies in her bed, throat parched, and soul empty, because there is no one to pass her a drink of water or to ask her how she was feeling that day. And when the support of your son or mother or your family wanes, nothing can soothe the raging storm brewing inside you. Family is something that can never be replaced- it is blood. Just as your body needs blood to function, your soul needs your family to be happy - it’s just how life is, not rocket science!

Being exceptional makes you detached from your friends - the very people who made your life worth living. You become an elitist and a conformist. You shun your closest friends, because they do not share your ability, or the people of your caliber might mock you, if you hang out with lesser minds. But the axe is inches away from your head, who will be there making a last ditching effort to save your sorry butt? The life of a mediocre revolves around their friends in one way or the other. They are never too busy or never too tired from work to have a couple of rounds of beer with their pals. A whole night of sheer recklessness, rowdy games, and what not, with nothing to be stressed about and with no tension of life is something I will always take over some snob CEO having a rooftop party, where you have to be a gentleman living up to his stature.

Being exceptional also makes it hard for one to be truly satisfied. You really don’t have ‘enough’. It is good in many senses, but sometimes, just sometimes, you need to know when to put down your sword. You need to know when to thank the Almighty, and realize if it was not for Him, you would be nothing. Or if you are an atheist, you need to pay homage to your luck, because no one walking on planet Earth has achieved something without luck playing a part. You just need to take a pause and look what you have achieved, and be satisfied. Bliss and relaxation only comes if you are satisfied. Average people relatively are happier, only because they are not obsessed to get ‘more’. They are too lazy to work harder, but if pays off. It gives satisfaction, something many elitists badly crave.

So if you are mediocre, be proud. We might not invent the next big thing, but we will create ways for the extraordinaries to invent it. We will be the loving parent, the caring friend, or the assistant with application the extraordinary people need to express their caliber: to make a world impact. We will make a difference to the world in our own unique way; a way the exceptional can never fathom! Let us not balk at the raised brows of society, let us CELEBRATE MEDIOCRITY!

Bangladesh Politics: An Inside Story from a Teenager

I wanted to write about politics for a long time, because you see; my writing instincts, I believe, is inherited from my father, who in turn inherited it from my granddad. My father is a journalist turned into a political analyst, and my grandfather was the first journalist in our district (Narshingdi). I come from a family which is deeply involved in Bangladesh politics, and therefore, I descry it almost every day. And because of this, I have come to ascertain the fact that Bangladesh politics is pathetic.

It is ludicrous and devious from the prime objectives of politics itself. It is based upon deceit, connivance, and manipulation. Well, politics all over the world is based upon these, undoubtedly, but what makes BD politics so special is that how the politicians go about doing these stuffs. The way they weave their veil of lies is farcical! And the sad thing is, our citizen are so uber stupid and imbecile that they will gobble down any half-wit lie they are served on a golden plate.

I will be disclosing a few incidents which I either saw with my own eyes, or heard directly from the top notch politicians. Let's start with the story of a woman leader who cried wolf.

This political prima donna was doing her evening exercise on a park beside her house. Upon exercising for 2-3minutes, she decided that she did one hell of job, and went on to returning to her home. But she was stopped in front of the park by a couple of hooded figures who asked for her money and watch. It was just another day in Dhaka where hooded figures threaten you for your Chinese mobile set and New Market bought watches; nothing significant. But this lady smelled a political promotion amidst all this. She went home, tore her own dress a little, and forced her husband to call an ambulance. Then she conjured two reporters to the hospital to tell her story. And her version of the story went something like this (dramatized):

Reporter: So, madam, you were attacked while returning to your home? Do you have any idea who did this?
Prima Donna: OFCOURSE! I KNOW ALL OF THEIR FACES! THEY ARE THE CADRES OF THE RIVAL POLITICAL PARTY! THEY HAD BEEN THREATENING ME FOR A LONG TIME. I HAD GIVEN MY LIFE TO MY PARTY, AND SO I PRAY THE PRICE. *The official slogan of her party*

Reporter: Umm..so it wasn't a normal mugging? Are you sure it was the rival party cadres?
Prima Donna: Of course I am! They were chanting their slogans all the time?! Are you asking if I'm lying? Do you know who I am? Do you know what can I do to you?!

Reporter: Of course, of course! You're right.

Apart from the conversation with the reporter, which I made up, all the other facts are true. The news agency belonging to the leaders of that political party (Yes, BD politicians directly own news agencies :D) telecasted the fabricated story and dumped all the blame on the fictitious cadres. Why did she do it, you ask? Simply to spread the word that she has endured agonies for her beloved party, and that she has been punished because of the commitment and enthusiasm she has shown to her party. Therefore, she should be given a higher priority, and maybe nomination for next Minister or something… That was the motivation behind the whole drama!

This TRUE story actually explains BD politics better than a thousand page book written by a veteran political analyst. It's a place where you trade your self esteem and dignity for power and money.

The thing that strikes me most, like a cold shower in a winter morning, is how easily the people supposedly leading our country can lie in your face and still has a serious look in their face. The example of our respected Prime Minister denying that she ever promised to reduce the price of rice to ten taka per kg, or that inflation has DECREASED and people are happy about the price of commodities is evident to this. The opposition party is no different. Before election, they promise to turn Dhaka into Singapore City overnight, but when their tushy touch the power throne, it's all about wealth.

And then comes the vicious cycle of retribution. The first year of coming into power is spent transferring people who support the opposition party into the remotest corner of the country and giving promotions to people who are ardent supporter of the ruling party. Govt. housing is exchanged, and people are forcefully evicted from their homes to make space for the ‘supporters'. I have been a victim of this, so I know the nitty-gritty of this routine pretty well. The sad thing is, this cycle will go on every five years. And I really mean EVERY five years. And thwarted mayor candidates OPENLY (ON AIR) threatening the rival candidate doesn't help much. They don't get tired of all this perpetual retribution, even knowing that their sons will be dragged into this eternal loop of hatred and inhumanity. The limit is crossed when someone spends 14 billion taka just to change the name of an airport, because it is named after the founder of your rival party. Couldn't this money be spent elsewhere, for more significant thing, like, I don't know, food for the underprivileged people or shelter for the roofless? But hey! What do I know, eh? I'm just a teenager whose area of expertise is procrastination.

So what to do? The answer is simple: GET RID OF THE SYSTEM. Let's look at the problem constructively. The reason behind the failure of BD political system to establish sustainable development is the failure to produce the next generation of leaders/politicians. The old generation refuses to step down to make room for the younger one. Their insatiable desire for wealth has morphed into a disease - an incurable disease.

Either by a revolution within the party, or by the general citizen of the country, the oldies must be obliged to ‘retire' from power. Each sector has to go under this alteration. The truly wise oldies should be appointed as ADVISORS with no direct control over policies, that way we can reap the best out of them, and also respect their intelligence.

Legislature should be passed, prohibiting the same candidate to run for Presidency for a third consecutive time. Yes, I'm copying the US electoral policy; it's one of the best I've seen so far and so effing tailor made for a fragile country like BD, where people are sick of seeing the same ragged face over and over again!

Most significantly, we have to make the general public understand why we cannot pragmatically move forward with the status-qou. They already I know, I believe, but you have to spoon feed to the mass illiterates; give them a kind of a brain wash. Once they have realized we need to change and change badly, making other modifications wouldn't be a problem, as people power surpasses everything. Tahrir Square has taught us a history changing lesson which will be etched across every freedom loving soul.

The Social Work Mania: Hypocrisy?

Before, when you were stuck at traffic jams, which are painfully plenty in Dhaka, you were always greeted by beggars, popcorn sellers, and magazine or books sellers.But now a days, the scenario is a tad bit different. Now, you will see hordes of teenagers dressed in ultra bright t shirt, which will make any fashion designer's face cringe, dispersed through out the intersections, with dead and wrinkled roses in hands, asking for donations for various noble causes.

When the social work mania(yes, people,in fact, are maniacs about it today) first started, it was a great step forward for all the irresponsible and socially unaware teenagers of Bangladesh, if I have to be more particular, the ENGLISH MEDIUM goers of Bangladesh.I, myself, jumped in the SOCIAL WORK bandwagon, and also thoroughly relished the extra ordinary experience, but got dislodged by the avalanche of life's demands.

But what I see now disgusts me. The true essence of social work has been defiled by the same irresponsible teenagers, who promised to change at first. The meaning of social work has radically changed, as less and less emphasis is put on 'work' than 'FB Profile Pic session' and 'hangout' among friends.

On my way to class, I descried groups of 'volunteers' jotting together, each with their fingers bent in different 'cool' shapes, taking group photos. On my way home, the same scene prevailed, but it was single photo session than a group one.

I'm pretty sure everyone has made fun or heard somebody making fun of private universities popping up like mushrooms, quoting a cliche, but the same is happening in social work groups. In the beginning, there were only a few of them, thus maintaining proper control, but right now, some times I wonder whether there are more groups than volunteers in Dhaka.

Moreover, some of the themes of social work is completely farcical! Let me give you some examples: teenagers urging grown ups to give income tax properly and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE 7 BILLIONTH PERSON on the world. Looking at the first one, teenagers urging fully matured adults to sign a petition saying 'I WILL GIVE TAX' makes no feasible sense at all! A freaking signature will not stop a tax evader evading from doing his duties. If he wants to evade tax, he will do it, whether a guy wearing a ridiculous fagged yellow t shirt makes him promise or not. Also, the majority of tax evaders of Bangladesh are the uber rich people, the high ranking corporate officials and the government officials themselves, beleaguering innocent middle class families on their way home from a cumbersome day at work is utterly stupid. And if you want to send a positive message, then do so in a meaningful way, like punishing the evaders indiscriminately.

Moving on, do I really need to talk about the second one? They are celebrating overpopulation for God's sake! What's next? The billionth person with HIV AIDS? Idiots.Furthermore, daily 25000 people die in Somalia(that's one in five seconds) among which 16000 are children due to starvation.Have we seen any 'workshop' or project regarding this? Open your eyes people.

The high ranking organizers of the groups are really enthusiastic and serious about helping others, but it's their subordinates who disappoint.The rate at which things are going, I'm eagerly waiting for the day when the pedestrian will say:" How much more are we going to donate?If you are doing such a fine thing for the society, why don't we see any substantive development on the streets? Just leave us alone!"

I know social work maniacs are going to bash me for this saying atleast they are trying and I'm just sitting behind a PC, but my dear friends, you are doing nothing actually.You are just PRETENDING OF CARING AND DOING SOMETHING.Period.


My Top 10 TV Shows Characters

TV shows are like heroin for the good people, they lure you in, and after your first fix, your body itches for more and more, until a permanent black patch appears under your eyes, the testament of your addiction. It would be operose to find people who did not hear the name of FRIENDS, DEXTER (overrated!), Prison Break and etc, who have either a television set, or a PC. Just like Pokemon and BeyBlade had occupied a significant portion of our childhood, TV SHOWS mug us of our priceless teenage time mercilessly.

I, myself, am a victim of TV SHOW addiction, giving away countless hours of my studying time to its ever wide arms, and it never disappointed me. It feels good each and every time. So, I have decided to name the culprits who should be blamed for my failure to get proper grades. Here is the list of the Top 10 Awesomest!

TV Show Characters:

10. Jake Harper ( Two and a half Men)



Let me be clear, I liked him up to the 4th season, when he still had his baby-fat and that cute little smile. This kid gave the show a new dimension, apart from the usual sex and booze centered comedy littered with half nude women, horny men, and gallons of alcohol. My favorite quotation of Jake: “ If you want to talk about sex, why don’t you go to your own room?!” (Jake to his father when he was ordered to leave the room as Charlie began to talk about his ‘night’)

9. Michael Scofield (Prison Break)


This guy is pure genius. He taught me how make bombs out of hairspray! How cool is that?! His intricate plans will simply blow your mind off, and you will be forced to give a standing ovation seeing them unfold, like the clothes of an expensive Vegas stripper. And his prison escapes ….. orgasmic! (Oh, erm ... that didn’t come out right -__-)

8. GOB (Arrested Development)


GOB is short for a very long name(too long for a lazy ass like me to write). He is an illusionist. His greatest illusion, the disappearing of his father’s 900K yacht, had given him the tiniest amount of fame in his life, but it was short lived, as he had no place to live after literally blowing up his home(the yacht) to gain the attention of the media and his fellow magicians. GOB is an utterly lovable character, his feud with his mother creating some stomach curling funny scenes, and his magic shows (with THE FINAL COUNTDOWN playing at the back) is pant wetting funny.

7. Monica Geller/Bing (F.R.I.E.N.D.S)


Monica is definitely the best female characters of FRIENDS with her craziness for perfection. She loves to clean; so much that if there is nothing else in her apartment that needed a scrub, she would go to the neighbor’s and scour their house spotless. Her loyalty to her husband, her witty comments, and her endless humour makes her a character to love.

6. Homer Simpson (The Simpsons)


Does he really need an introduction? If you think so, please stop reading this piece, it’s not for you. He is the nightmare of all mothers, the darkest fear of cows, chicken, and all kinds of red meat … he is THE man. Homer resembles the lazy ass American citizens in a satirical way, Matt Groening portraying what’s wrong with today’s world in the funniest way possible.

5. Shawn (Psych)


Shawn Spencer is a self proclaimed psychic who helps the Police Dept. of Santa Barbara solve crime by having visions and leading them to the criminals by sensing their negative aura. I think you have already figured out that it’s all bogus. He is as much as psychic, as Obama is a deserved winner of Nobel Peace prize. Shawn’s sense of humor and the way he pisses everyone off is truly inspirational.

4. Sheldon Bazinga Cooper (The Big Bang Theory)


This character makes my day each and every time I watch him. Chuck Lorre is a creative mastermind to come up with such a character. Sheldon is a genius, graduating from University at the age of 14, and took a job as a theoretical physicist in CALTECH. A few facts about him: he loves his comics more than his life, he even routined his visits to the toilet, he has a list of MOST HATED people, (a pizza delivery guy tops that because he didn’t give enough ketchup), he never touches anybody, fearing germs would enter, and he ALWAYS sits at a particular sofa, refusing to let anyone touch it. If anyone does, then he’d dry wash the whole friggin thing. He is a character unparallel to anyone. Period.

3. Barney Stinson ( How I met Your Mother)


Barney Stinson first allured me into wearing suits. I did buy my first suit following Barney’s motto: SUIT UP. Another reason I love this guy is because of his BRO CODES. The codes are the best thing that happened to MANkind. “Bros before hoes” is exemplary to what we (Men) should always follow, and retain the last bit of dignity left in us.

2. Joey (F.R.I.E.N.D.S)


Joey is the FUNNIEST character I have ever witnessed and probably ever will. His redefined dumbness, his naivety as a person, and his loyalty to friendship makes him a character to remember. Joey’s “HOW YOU’ DOING?” has become his trademark, and in the early 2000, it was widely used by Americans, a testimony of the success that Joey has achieved.

1. Dr. Gregory House ( House M.D.)


Patient: I don’t want the medicine! Why are you doing this?
House: Because I am ONE SAD SON OF A BITCH.

That’s exactly what Dr Gregory House is, a sad, son of a bitch. But he is also a genius of a diagnostician, solving medical complexities that dozens of other doctors fail to do. He will do anything to solve medical puzzles, even if it means kidnapping his own patient and doing surgery against his will. He is enigmatic, a hardcore atheist, and a child when it comes to relationships. He literally blew up his relationship with the love of his life by ramming his car into her living room when she broke up with him. House is indescribable, that’s exactly why he tops my list.
