SHERLOCK HOLMES VS CHACHA CHAUDHARY


     Just by one look he could tell one what  have u  recently eaten , price of your clothing, from where you belongs to , what is your occupation. ONE good look that's good enough for him to write a biography on you if you are worth it. It appears that he sees rather people wearing predefined tags such as on ones arm it is written i am a sailor or whatever and on forehead that i am father of two. Such was Holmes. Well everyone knows that he was just a part fiction but hardly anyone will  accept that he wasn't real (everyone=smart people).
One  doesn't  feel parted  with the ADDICTIVE DEDUCTIVE Holmes (Sherlock Holmes of course) though he featured in just 4 novels and some 56 short stories out which i have managed to lay my hands on all 4 novels and about 40 short stories . Rarely get  any in hard copy.

But well there is one guy who is as fictional as he but  far more interesting not talking of Hercule poi  rot or that Mrs. Christie creation marple  “she was too mysterious”. So the guy I was talking of is none other than our very own Chacha Chaudhary(many of the blog readers are from usa so you may not know him  but no harm in wiki or googling him) .  Yes he was a just an Indian cartoon magazine character but boy really his mind used to work faster than a computer. Cases were simple ranging from neighbourhood to sometimes international and even extra terrestrial cases.
Though he did not have the company of intellectual medicine man Watson he was good with  15 ft Sabu who was from Jupiter and stayed with him for he got to eat delicacies that chachas wife  used to make. He was always faithful to Chacha and provided the physical strength in time of need. What separates him from Holmes that he is an adorable old guy with very quick mind and good sense of humor though Holmes also had it it was quietly not expressed baring at one or two instance. Holmes was very arrogant at times though he wanted to remain anonymous and said that he just wanted cases for his mind which was like machine to work ,he also proudly admitted that praise would lit him up and these lowly couching that he won after amazing the  persons by deducing  would make him very proud and considered that he could not make a mistake “he was perfect”.

Chacha Chaudhary is a middle class Indian, frail but an extremely intelligent old man. The word chacha means paternal uncle in Hindi, while Chaudhary is a term used for big landlords or the most honorable, elderly or a respectable person in small villages or towns in India.
“Each family has its own wise old man. He solved his problems with common sense, but with a touch of humor  “ Pran (creator of chacha chaudhary)
is remarkably different from most other comic-book superheroes in that he is not a muscleman, nor does he have extraordinary powers. Instead, he uses his shrewd brain and presence-of-mind to fight off evil robbers and thieves. A brain sharper than a needle and faster than a super-computer,[5] state the comic books. does not have state of-the-art machine guns or modern technological gadgets to fight his enemies. All he possesses is a wooden stick with which he fights evil-doers and he does it convincingly.
characterization, like other Pran's characters, is around middle class typical Indian metro surroundings of the 1970s and 1980s, and it has kept evolving. The usual villains are corrupt government officials, thieves, roadside goons and bullies, tricksters and cons and local thugs. h not only fights them off and helps the common man but also teaches them moral lessons and good behavior. Most of the events end up with goons embarrassed by their deeds. One can see the middle class dealing with everyday's problems. In a way Pran takes a whip at those problems but still maintaining a happy go lucky feel with twinkling eyes and smiling faces.

Well S.H is the best I agree for I criticized him as I had to write something in my post and could not think of any better. Well there is a series of new Sherlock season its brilliant with imdb rating of 9.2
