Preacher (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is something I have stumbled in last week's Indian Express. The 'Preacher' by Vertigo (DC) comics is a very dark story. The plot is very 'grown-up' kinds. But it really captures your imagination. A preacher 'Jesse Custer' getting possessed by a supernatural creature known as the 'Genesis' which is the end product of a passionate encounter of an angel and demon. Custer with his newly found powers and a strong belief of what's wrong and right, goes in search of God with his ex-girlfriend Tulip'O Hare and an Irish Vampire known as Cassidy. Strange characters, supernatural beings dominates the plot.
This series is something to get hooked on comic-lovers.

Losing grip!!!!!!
Loss is the word, that we can all connect to. How many times you have lost and how many times you have won?I bet the ratio of winning will be lower than the losing one. In my case this ratio is all-pervading. We have related ourselves with the saying in Hindi,"Kuch pane ke liye kuch khona parta hain' (To get something, you have to lose something!). My friend says, "I have got everything the hard way. Nobody has put a thing in my platter!" Even I can relate to her.
Things just does not happen the way you want them to be. You expect something and it turns out to be the anti-thesis. In my case, it was the appraisal this time. Though everybody had a similar fate. I was exceedingly dissapointed. Utterly hopeless and helpless situation. Being that 'Emancipated ' lady types. Giving priority to career than personal life. The sense of loss pervades.
You wake up in the moring and stumble on your life. You feel that you are wasted. No job security, on top of that nubile too. Even nubility becomes an issue now.Eventhough you never gave a dime, when the so-called blabbermouths blurted out that unwanted thrash or advice. Your friends are getting married, left, right and centre. You stand there with the 'SINGLE' tag and 'GROWING OLD' that's what the married class says.
In situation like this, you tend to miss your family. The loss of the home and hearth makes the situation more worse. Staying away from your family to earn a living here, becomes a joke. You go to flashback, where dad was asking you to reconsider the decision. Ashamed and as you are matured now and the lessons that you have learned as a toddler, that 'Never give up, fight your own battles, comes to the forefront." How much you try to pacify yourselves, you end up being naive!
Its the same day again and you are brooding in front of the computer, "Do I give up?" I end up writing this post. Naive is the word that goes with my status quo. I feel like am watching life in slow motion from a moving car window staring without a blink.
