Why I love Karen ?

Writing about why I love a TV Character is a dangerous thing. Considering the stage of my life, even more so ( I am a 30 year old male who is single and unmarried). So, if you can see past the weirdness of it all, I have something to say which you just might like.

Like a lot of single people, I watch a lot of movies and TV. One of the few TV series which I particularly relish is Californication. People who watch a lot of movies and TV have a tendency to fall in love with the on-screen characters, I am no different. It is nothing like Guddi in that old Hindi Movie, but I guess you get the gist. 

So moving on, there are women and there is Karen. For the uninitiated, she is the female lead of the TV series Californication. The show is superficial but insanely irreverent, reason enough for me to watch all of its six seasons. Here are very few of the reasons why I love her:

1. She loves a writer, an inconsistent, chronic under performer with little flashes of brilliance once in a while. I am not saying anything more.

2. No matter, who she is married to , who she is living with, there is no doubt who she truly loves.

3. She knows that the writer loves her too, but together they can't function and have no future. She takes it all in her stride and moves on with her life.

4. She looks old and mature, wise beyond her years. Her eyes speak of the pain she has endured and the world she has seen. In her smile, I see the world which sparkle and fade out, like a firefly, isn't that something ?

5. She gets mad at the writer but always forgives him, no matter what he does, because that is how it is meant to be.  

and I keep loving her.
