Ever since the mention of the romanovos in the show 'crown', the Russian imperial family has always fascinated me. Googling about them wasn't not enough or even satisfactory at that moment of time. Recently I stumbled upon the show the last czars' every ounce of my being was diverted towards that show my fasciantion towards non-indian history has always been like an alcoholic's desire for a drink. The show itself tells us about the true story of Nicolas romanovos the last craz of Russia and his family. The story line is primalily based from 1910-1925, with in the span of these 15 years the Russian empire who ruled over Russia for more than 300 years dissolves. The imperial family themselves including their othere 18 members of their extended family are killed to in the name of revolution. While staring the series in the first episode I knew about the ending ie the ultimate death of the imperial family yet the story telling and the journey that the makers of the series took us upon was something different. At certain points it felt like it was more of a documentary than a series. In my mind I expected it to be more like the crown, but upon realised how little of a timeframe they had to in terms of telling the story I would like to say they did a good job. Perhaps if more of the emotional side of the czar was explored it really wound have been something extra ordinary. The historians and the cast sometimes refered to the czar as nicky which I founf to be quite unusual, I can give the historians the benefit of the doubt as they are in the 21st centry but I am not sure than the members of the imperial family including the czarina refered to the czar as nicky RA…..RA..RASPUTIN I seriously has no idea that Rasputin was a part of this story, upon looking at his story line and the effect he had on the czarina and upon realising that he is one of the causes for the fall of the imperial family in russia its surreal what a monk did in those times. It is extra ordinary how one of the richest and most powerful empire in the world could br reduced to nothing, one cant help but imagine that this could have also happened to the brish empire in some point in time. The czar and czarina of Russia are axactly what the king and queen of england are, the contrast of the fates of these two dynasties is so surreal. Both of them beilve themselves to be the chosen ones, the closest form of divinity those times.

The czar and czarina of Russia are axactly what the king and queen of engliand are, the contrast of the fates of these two dynasties is so surreal. Both of them beilve themselves to be the chosen ones, the closest form of divinity on earth yet their ends couldn't be any more different. The imperial family was murdered in a house prison and their remains were thrown in the jungle while the royal family still presides iver the thrown in England though not as powerful as they used to be but still alive. The Russian revolution, in the series the imperial family especialy the czarina is quite unawarw of the gravity of the revolution. In a sense for the viewers to under stand the true effect of the revolution -a more descriptive reflection should have been showed

SEX AND THE CITY Should our generation really invest our time into watching this? And the answer is yes. We as gen-z should watch this 6 seasons show. This show has redefined the meaning of friendship, career, family life and especially what it means to be a women to me This show reflects acceptance shows us how we as women can want different things and wanting different things doesn't make us any less women. Personally, all four of the protagonists ie Charlotte York, Samantha Jones, Carrie Bradshaw and Mirande Hobbes, helped me live out all of my fanaticises and all of the possibilities out there. All of these women complement each other in the best way possible. This how tells us about the importance of true female friendship All the four main characters together reflect at least one part of us or our personalities. Charlotte is who I wish I could be, Mirande is who I am aspiring to be, Carrie has my dream life and Samantha is my inner demon unleashed. I don't know if I will truly find friends like that one day but now I have found charlotte, Carrie, Samantha and Miranda Throughout the show I felt like the problems they faced were too ahead of their time the problems they have portrayed in the show are exactly the kind of problems we face in this fast pace life. Each and every character ie protagonist is important their personalities allow us to live vigorously through them be it Carrie's shoe collection or Samantha's life style or Mirande's dedication to her work or charlotte's love for the kids. Each of this 4 women depicts thousands of us. This show will help you feel accepted this show will tell you it is ok to put yourself first. In today's world we all wonder if kids are the right decision for us or are they just an accessory, does my carrier come first or my parent's expectations, should I keep fighting for my Mr.Big or find comfort in Steve All of these questions may not be answered but surely you will get a more defined perspective of them
