The loved ones from the fictional world

We all love fictional characters. A lot we like but a very few we love and fewer we are inspired from. I'm just listing down my most favorite fictional characters.

Monsieur Hercule Poirot
In my opinion, this guy is the greatest detective ever existed. Don't come arguing that Mr.Holmes is better. Holmes works on physical clues, but Mr.Poirot works on human psychology. This egg-headed little Belgian with a big moustache (that's how Christie describes him in every book) has never ceased to amuse and amaze me at the same time. And he is much more amusing when Captain Hastings narrates the story. One thing I learnt from this old-guy is that "use your little grey cells, monsieur and think". Thanks to Christie for creating such a wonderful character. If you wanna try some, you should read masterpieces like "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd", “The Murder on the Orient Express", "ABC Murders" or the "Five little pigs

Chandler Bing

This very funny character from the sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S has been my recent favorite and I started seeing it only since a year before and I've already completed all the 10 seasons twice. Chandler resembles me in several ways. Pathetic with girls, nobody has an idea what he (rather I) does at the office ( a few think it is just restart-commands) and his dressing sense is awful. "Could I be more like Chandler!".


Jason Bourne
Surprised? Well, don't be. Jason is the perfect spy. If someone thinks that 007 is cool, then you should read The Bourne Trilogy to see how Mr.Bourne rocks. His killing methods are awesome and his couter measures he takes on his enemies are mind-blowing. He is supremely confident of himself and though he is scared at times, he keeps his cool. Bourne Identity shows us what Jason Bourne is all about, it is Bourne Supremacy that shows us what he is made of.




Tintin

I always wanted to be Tintin when I was a child. Who wouldn't want to travel countries (and to moon!) and have those wonderful adventures with the hilarious Caption Haddock!. If I remember correctly, Red Rackam's Treasure was the first one I read (in fact my brother read it to me) and there was no turning back. I've read all the books several times and I'll keep reading them.




Calvin
Though I love this little mischievous brat, I sincerely hope I don't have kid like this. I pity for their parents very much! He is small and tiny, but he thinks big and at several times makes me think we all grown ups are stupid. I love to read him only in the daily newpapers and I don't think I'm never going to buy his collection.


There are a few others like Vanthiyathevan Vallavarayan (from Ponniyin Selvan), Donald Duck, Harry Potter, Spidey and Jack Sparrow who are worth mentioning, but I'm afraid they won't make it to the top 5.

What are you guys waiting for? List yours!

    You restart the server! Phew..

    Anyways I love Chandler Bing too.. He is amazingly funny, but if you watch Sienfeld, I can assure you Krammer would be on the list. Krammer is the man! He is amazing!
