Once Upon a Time: A fantasy world of all fairy tales which you can't avoid to watch

 

StoryBrooke from Once upon a time

There was a town, strorybrooke in marine where every character of fairy tales which we ever known in our world are lives due to curse of evil queen”

Every episode starts with this line of narrator.

People of town don’t go somewhere other than town, and also stranger don’t come in storybrooke”

People don’t know how they met with one another, their age don’t grow. They are stuck in time period but clock tower restart when the protagonist of the series “Emma swan” enters in the town.

Background music is intense like a music of horror cinema but it is not horror cinema. Generally, in fantasy tales, story revolves around any child or children who is the main character in the series but here the savior is child’s genetic mom and the super villain is child’s adoptive mom.

And that child is henry who find his mom and ask her to come storybrooke to end the curse of the town.

So, how would you react if all character of every fairy tales, like snow white, the huntsman, pinnochio, jimmi the cricket, aladdin’s jinnie, Cinderella comes together at one place? Isn’t fascinating and exciting? But here is a twist, all character is doing their own destined acts as they did in their respective fairy tales but still there are the situation where they are connected to each other. For example, ginnie of Aladdin is the mirror of snow white’s step mother.

And “Rumplestiltskin” comes in every fairy tale and make deal with the characters. Yes, this is that “Rumplestiltskin” who is the master in making deals as according to famous story of Rumplestiltskin.

All Fairy Tales Characters in Once upon a time
However, the main story among all are snow white which dominates other stories and all stories are connected with snow white’s characters. The evil queen is the antagonist of the series.

Every second episode introduce a different fairy tale but you should know the all fairy tales to understand the plot and the amalgamation of their character with one another. 

ABC’s “once upon a time” series is indeed worthy to watch. It’s my one of the favorite series and I identified some reasons why everyone should watch it.

5 REASONS WHY YOU MUST WATCH “ONCE UPON A TIME”

1.      INTRODUCTION OF EVERY FAIRY TALE

To know about fairy tales is also important for general knowledge. Most of the non-English children and people knows only a limited number of fairy tales such as, Cinderalla, Snow white, etc. But there are a number of fairy tales which was written by authors. This series contain almost every fairy tale’s characters which was written in those books. To increase your knowledge about fairy tales character you must watch this story, this series will introduce almost every fairy tales character to you.  This series even take you through the underworld and introduce "Harclues' and “HADES” to the viewers. It even introduce to you Mr. Hydes.

2.      DEPARTURE FROM USUAL FAIRY TALE CONCEPT OF CHILD

Generally, we see two concepts in fairy tales, either it is about the fantasy of a little girl or it is about a princess. But this series is completely different, here, a little child search for his mother who is the daughter of snow white and come in the town “Storybrooke” to break the curse of town inhabitants. The imagination of town in the series is also commendable.

3.      NEW AND FRESH PRESENTATION OF FAIRY TALES

Amid a problem, whenever new introduced character asks about the problem, the usual reply of other character in this series is “This is too complicated.” Yes, the story of this series is too complicated and no can understand the story if they missed any episode. Different fairy tale’s characters are bounded with each other.

For Example, the person who gave shoes to Cinderella is not the fairy god mother but this is Rumplestiltskin. And Rumplestitltskin is also the monster in belle’s story and later on the lover of belle. He is the son of peter pen from lost boys. And his boy from his original story of “Rumplestitskin’ also lost in Neverland with lost boys. Everything is too complicated but this is the complication which makes the story beautiful and increase the curiosity of audience. You cannot predict or guess what is going to be next.

4.      FOR LOVERS OF MYSTICAL AND FAIRY TALE CINEMA

I am the lover of this category. And Rum-belle's story attracted me most. And other people who love to watch fairy tale’s cinema and cinema which has mystery, magic, suspense, beautiful sets, beautiful gown, and also non-objectionable acting, then you must watch this series.

5.      A STRONG MESSAGE (EVERYONE CAN BE CHANGED)

I am remembering the Indian famous television show “Tarak Mehta ka Oolta Chashma” where every villain’s heart change in the end of the story. Generally, we don’t see in Hollywood series if villain’s heart changed. But in this series, this is also a good concept that at last every villain’s heart changes and they disappear in another land, however, some villain also remains throughout the series after their heart change. Evil queen and Rumplestiltskin are the two person who are villain of this series but they are also the heroes in actual scene. We see their character change throughout the series. Sometime, they become too brutal and sometime they become too kind. But in the end, they remain as the heroes and in the last season, they are actually the heroes throughout the season, and at last evil queen become the queen of United Realm. 

Regina as the queen of United Realm
 This series is one of the best series at Netflix. This series is worth watching and give us huge knowledge about the fairy tales characters. While watching this series, our conscience forces us to pay gratitude to the writers, who wrote such a fabulous story. This story can’t be written even by good writers. Only best and excellent writers can write such type of stories. So, if you are searching any good series to watch then you can't avoid it.

Mahakta Aachal: A digest or a healing drug?

  November 1999 Edition of Mahakta Aanchal, Photo by @ababeelclicks   When I was a child the first digest I was acquainted with was “Mahakta Aanchal”.  A digest that was famous among ladies so much. People were crazy for it and they still are. I can recall the memory when my aunt had many of these Digests, and I could say those were read by many other ladies.  Mahakta Aanchal is such a drug that people fear if they start to read they will be addicted to it. There is madness for it. A person could forget everything for it. If a person buys a copy of this digest it cannot be limited to that person, it will go into the hands of many people. If a person buys it, it will be read by a minimum of 10 people, and it will go minimum of 10 houses. I have 11 editions of Mahakta Aanchal, and I can say these have been read by everyone in my family, every friend or relative of my family members, who read it. People especially ask their knowns if they have old editions of these Digests. I have an ed

Wuthering Heights- Revenge, Destruction, Deaths, Ghosts but happy ending

    Three statutes of Bronte sisters at Bronte museum in England remind us three sisters who immortalize their name in the history in their little lives. They were in the list of Jane Austen and Emily Dickenson who lived short, secluded and reserved lives but immortalize themselves mostly after their deaths. Their secluded lives also reflect in their works, ‘wuthering Heights’ by Emily Bronte (one of Bronte sisters) is a specimen, in which she wrote the story of only two families who lived at two miles’ distance in the lonely and bleak Yorkshire moors. Author didn’t tell the story directly; the story is narrated by the housekeeper ‘Ellen dean’ who recounted her memoirs to the tenant of her master’s house ‘Mr. lockwood’. There are more than two important characters in the novel. The classic tale of revenge begins with arrival of a gypsy boy ‘Heathcliff’ in the house of Mr. Earnshaw. This gypsy boy and the daughter of Mr. Earnshaw start to love each other but she couldn’t marry
