Last night as I sat down infront of the TV, just in time for my crime time entertainment, I realised something about me. I have this singular passion for the crime solvers – be it the suave and seductive Castle, or the communication expert in Lie to me, I simply get a thrill out of solving the crime, together with the series’ team.
Current passion is The Mentalist 2 and I have even given strict instructions to hubby-dearest, to try not coming home before ‘Patrick Jane’ solves the case. The thrill and passion of deciphering the crime scene, breaking into the realms of the masks of the suspects to ‘catch’ the culprit before the end of the series, the thrill of unearthing the deepest of connections makes me wanna jump into the television and work with them.
Same goes for the variations of CSI. Another fast paced and mind churning series, that keeps me glued to it for an hour. This Sunday, I even watched it back-to-back… I don’t like to answer phone calls, reply to texts/BBM chats or anything that might interrupt me!
Crime-o-holic! I think I am and I wonder why… I love comedy, drama and other reality shows too, but nothing can take away the sheer thrill and enjoyment of watching how the smart Chief unfolds the case and hammers the criminal.
Oh! Just to make things straight, I do not follow the Indian crime series at all – Read C.I.D – which has been on TV for almost 2 decades now, I think! Though, I must admit the new offering Khotey Sikkey isn’t that despicable and quite watchable…!!!
My love for solving crimes even makes me wonder, if I should write a crime fiction? Or an intense drama, with the backdrop of an investigation! I think, I just don’t have it in me to create kick-ass characters and then kill some of them and make the protagonist solve it! Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! But I have been told, by someone I absolutely love and blindly trust that by end of this year I should at least have the first draft of it ready!
Pray, I can do it…

I will be waiting for your first draft to come out. I trust, your crime characters would even have a tinge of humour ingrained into them.
Hi AG, Thanks for your comment and I hope to bring out the best in the characters -when I do write my crime fiction! and will push u to read it too 😉
