Fairy Tail – The Epic (An informal letter to Mr. Hiro Mashima


“The only time a goodbye is painful is when you know that you’ll never say hello again”

                It has been a few years since I started to watch Fairy Tail the anime series. I wasn’t a typical follower from the start, rather I started to watch this anime after a year of release. However after a few episodes I had become a great fan and a time came when I eagerly waited for Saturday for a new episode to come out. In the mean time I had started reading the manga, the origin of the fairy tail story line.

 July, 2017, today I read the last chapter of the fairy Tail manga. Mr. Hiro Mashima has officially stated this to be the end of the manga series. And guess what … this is the happiest ending after the saddest and darkest long story line. But at somewhere deep inside my heart I feel like if there were few more chapters, I would be much happier.
For me, and perhaps for us, at some point fairy tail wasn’t just a fiction but a real thing. Most of us imagined ourselves to be the protagonists of the series. At the funniest moments we laughed and on saddest days we even cried, but it was there with us. At some point I do believe that this one in particular, was something beyond an anime or manga. This was the truth of life. We all struggle in our life with dream to have a better life with our friends and family, and indeed life is the biggest adventure. Perhaps that’s the reason why we have a deep feeling for this anime.
But, for us... Fairy Tail was an encouragement, a urge to struggle to achieve our goals, a feeling towards our friends, and an eternal adventure.


“ comrades is not just  a word. It refers to heart. Please feel free to lean on me today, I might as well depend on you someday”- the foundation speech of fairy tail is one of my favorite ones. And the whole series is just full of such beautiful lines.  The meaning of trust, the feeling of joy, the pain of sorrow, and the happiness of love… this manga has really given us something very unique, a new way to live.  It told us that moving on doesn’t mean that you forget things. It just means you have to accept what happened and continue living.
All I want to say to Mr. Hiro Mashima, is,  thanks for giving us fairy tail. The story is really a complete one, an “epic” to be more specific. Thanks for Natsu, thanks for giving us Lucy, Erza, Wendy, Gray, Mevis and all others. My childhood is just about to end after a couple of years, In fact I am currently studying in a college. But to be honest with myself this is the greatest story that I have ever read. And All I want to say to you is thank you very much, to give my child hood this most beautiful gift. If you ever read this, All I want to say, is that it came to me as a story but will be with me as a LEGEND.
After all, we don’t die for our friends, we live with them. And all the characters of fairy tail will live as our friends forever.👆

Hard work VS Smart Work

Image
                  For the fact that   we are social beings our life is tied hard and rough with those invisible ropes of duties and responsibilities. While in school and college life, our class works and assignments, and after that, our job. Throughout our life we face more than enough unwilling tasks that consume both our time and concentration. Thus here lies a big question. How should we handle our works? And two of the obvious answers of this questions are – HARD WORK, and SMART WORK.                 Now there is actually no particular solution to this question. If you know about the theory of relativity, then you can also tally this problem with the statements. There is nothing absolute in this universe, rather our vision and perceptions are all dependent to our relative state to the frame of reference. And in...

The Profession of Begging

Image
I personally, from a long time, consider begging as a most disgraceful job out there. In countries like India, this has become a very popular work for this twenty-first century. And by this word “Profession” I really intend to compare begging to other jobs out there in our corporate world. However, people who once used to beg, just because they had nothing to eat, nothing to wear, unable to find any way to earn some money to survive in this universe, should be kept out of this set. These guys might be beggars by fate, but they have no other mean to survive. For them begging is a mean to live …not a profession.                 Then, the question might arise that, whom are we talking about here? The PROFESSIONAL BEGGERS. While the poverty is real, begging is quite often carried out in organized gangs. For the privilege of begging in a certain territory, each beggar must hand over their takings to the gang'...

Religious Stories

Image
Though whatever religion you belong, your childhood must have been full of religious stories and fairy tales. It’s something taking us to a new world to discovery. Stories build a huge place in our memories. We love to listen to them, and love to tell others. It didn’t matter that those stories were short or long, but the gods, the mythical creatures, that hero or those ghosts made a huge impact on our mind then. As the time continues our memory even fades. And most of all, we lose interest in these. If you see carefully, these stories are usually full of supernatural phenomenon, and fiction. Almost all the religions have their own stories in a huge numbers. Some are unique, some are regional copy of same stories. And most importantly, they all show that the good and the truth always wins. But our matter of interest today is, why these stories? Now let’s cast the name to a more suitable nomenclature, Mythology. Mythology is a great aspect of every religion. However, there is a ...
