20 Reasons why HIMYM-Alternate Ending is way better than the one shown previously

If you are reading this, then you are 'How I met your Mother' fan and probably disappointed by the way the

series ended in March. I hated it to the core but unfortunately, for all these months I was stuck with what was telecast and all I could do was try and find some comfort. But then… last night, I struck GOLD! The alternate ending to the series, that was supposed to be in the full DVD set of Season 9 and even in the full DVD set of the series (All 9 seasons) that is due on September 23, was somehow leaked on the internet.

Note : I had bought the novel 'The Secret' on recommendation of a friend. She said that the book was magic and contained powers to make people happy. I was really sad yesterday, so I got a book that could help me. And within a few hours of purchasing it and reading only a page or two, I found out about the Alternate Ending. Well, if you ask me, I will always want to see more and find some fault here and there… but if you REALLY ask me, the Alternate Ending is as beautiful as possible - totally perfect - a perfect sum of the entire 9 year journey and to top all of it, it is happy. I am still in tears but these are tears that the show is finally over. The only good thing about the old ending was that I knew the show couldn’t end

like this and this is the only fault with the new one - my show has ended….. Anyways, in the Secret, there are mention of people all over the world experiencing miracles by reading 'The Secret' and implementing the good changes in their way of life. I had barely read it, but it bought immense happiness to me. I wish everyone reads it so we all be happy… and trust me, I am gonna read it real soon!! Who knows, the entire cast shows up at my doorstep? :P

SPOILER ALERT : Read this only if you are sure that you have seen both the endings.

Note : The leaked ending here is considered as the 'Alternate Ending' and in case there is another 'Alternate Ending'… well, I will blog about that when that comes.

So, I can give you a reason per episode for why the old ending is pretty horrible and should never have been aired. However, the creators stick by it, so I cant do anything evil to it. Yet, we have this new Alternate Ending leaked on the internet and it is BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT. Now I am not saying the last sentence to be a reason, therefore, allow me to present 25 logical reasons as to why the new ending is better!!

1. The story started 9 years back with the 'Future Ted Mosby' telling the story to his kids in 'Bob
   
   Saget's voice'. In the previous end, the voice in the last scene is magically changed to Josh Radnor's voice. How can voice change?

2. In the episode 'Sunrise', Ted had let Robin go from his heart. Once that is done, he met Tracy and had a beautiful family. But no way those feelings were coming back, unlike his kids said in the last scene of the previous ending.

3. In the s09e22, when Robin says that Ted has always been perfect for her and the two should elope, Ted told her that she didn’t knew him if she thought that he was going to do that to Barney and that he had moved on. Two words - 'Moved On'.

4. In s09e22, when Barney accepts that the locket was found by Ted and not him, Robin realizes that he is perfect for her. Yes, their marriage doesn’t last but the reasons for that are completely different.

5. When Lily says in s09e23 that 'Not this time. This is different' to Marshall saying that How can Ted do it all over again… meet a gal, go too big too soon and then end up hurt… It was supposed to be different! It was different but it turned the same way.

6. Why tell the story 'How I met your Mother' when the eponym character dies the same way that she lived - off-screen…. ??

7. The story of 'How I met your Mother' should end with '… and that is how I met your mother!' and not with the French Blue Horn. Maybe the yellow umbrella or the bass the mother played or the yellow bus…

8. I really didn’t like the way the old ending was compiled… as in the kids scenes were shot long back so every time the kids spoke something, the camera was direct on them and whenever Ted spoke, the camera was direct on him. It reflected that the scenes are cut. Whereas in the new ending, it is voice over by Future Ted… just like the way we are used to.
9. An important event such as the death of the mother, needed more than just one line '…and I carried that lesson with me when she got sick…' . Please, she is the title character, show some
   
   respect.

10. Even though I love the entire dialogue 'It was indeed a long and difficult road…' but this one is a little more lively. It doesn’t make us sad.

11. Same goes for the music. The background score of the final scene in the old ending makes you wanna cry out but this really cheerful and good. It is kind of the ending the series deserve. I mean it is a comedy not a drama… and why should we be sad that it ended, I am glad it happened!

12. The new ending has the 'yellow umbrella' scene in the last - and I totally loved it. I was missing the Yellow Umbrella in the old ending so much!

13. The sentence in the new Ending 'and when I wake up next to your mother' is probably the first statement NOT in flashback told by Future Ted about what he felt with Tracy. It was great to hear and so lovely! The old ending barely knew that Tracy and Ted were in love.

14. The mini flashback of the entire series is really cool in the New Ending. I mean when all the good things are in this one, why did you really show the old one? Probably because you wanted to create this havoc of heartbreaks as an applause to the grand revelation of the REAL ending!

15. Ted was a hopeless Romantic. Saying that '…if I hadnt been through hell to get there, the lesson might not have been just as clear…' is not the way he would say it. In previous episodes, he had already said that he keeps dating and falling big-time for women because he believes that somewhere there is the girl meant for him. So, he would probably say that yes it was wrong but easy.

16. In the new ending, Ted says '… be in the right place at the right time …' and that was important for all his life before that had been filled with wrong places and wrong times so that he could be on this one rightly. And it was important he said that because he kept complaining about the wrong ones throughout the series instead of 'Thank God, Thank every God there is or was or will be in the entire Universe and anyone else I could possibly thank…'

17. 'The dumbest and most stupidest thing possible' is going upto a beautiful girl in the station and talking to her and I can see it coming from Ted Mosby because everytime he liked a girl in the way he liked the mother, he didn’t do this, rather he did the wise stuff such as stealing the Blue French Horn, dressing up the same way every halloween… and the list goes on!

18. In the new Ending, Ted is glad to have met the mother and he has moved on. That is the reason he could tell the story so nicely and even when he mentioned his ex's, he knew it didn’t matter anymore. In the old ending, if Ted had feelings for Robin, why he kept saying 'Aunt Robin' in that neutral voice and everytime the Future Ted mentioned her, he was not interested in her.

19. If Ted had to end up with Robin… where the hell did 'Aunt Robin' come from?

20. It is more likely that Ted would remember all the people like he did in the mini flashback who helped him get to Tracy rather than '… and anyone else I could possibly thank…'. That is so not like Ted!

------------------

If I find more, I will definitely keep this list going. But these were the very obvious 20 staring right into my face.

And you know, there is something else as well - if the creators would have released this ending first, most audiences would be fine. As in okay, people who liked the old ending, might not have liked this very much but I am pretty sure they wouldn’t have revolted to get a sad ending. A happy ending would have been the safer card to play. But then, we all would be sad because the show would get over.

However, as it happened, for this 4 minutes and 17 seconds, I waited for almost 5 months. The show never ended where it should have had ended. There were several things that I realized in this 5 months - I had time to think how the show affected me and how I felt about it in general, about it ending. It taught me to accept things.

So…….. In a way, the creators are some real awesome people! Love you #HIMYM

Legen - I-dont-have-to-wait-anymore-for-it-for-I-already-got-it - dary! Legendary! True Story (y)

From the name, I am pretty sure that you know that this post is about 'HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER'; It's official now - I am never getting over that show! It is damn awesome. Yes, I am upset with certain things but this is also something I learned from the show - sometimes the choice is between your Ego and the love you have for someone/ something. I can be pissed off for all the years to come or I can just choose to be happy that it happened. And no matter how much it hurts, I am always gonna be glad that I was a part of it and it is a part of my life forever.

There are so many things I love about the show that there was no way I could have stayed mad at it forever. And yes, I am disappointed, I wanted to see more. I wanted to know Tracy. I wanted to see Ted treat her the way he treated the others... Like, he mentions this girl 'Blah-Blah'... Future Ted doesnt even remember her name but he

takes all the time to tell the story to his kids with all details... Then atleast, the Mother deserved one whole season!
I know the entire series is kinda after her.... but I wanted to see more Tracy.

Anyways... I am not complaining. Not right now atleast.

Well... I loved the lines Ted quotes about the exact moment of when he meets his wife and what he feels about her. I have already cut out that clip and it is in a short movie I made for the couple... it is also my ringtone/ my alarm tone! I am obsessed with it. I had written down all but couldnt find it right now and I so wanted to read those words. And just as

I was about to Google them, I thought I would rather watch my video over and over again and keep writing this blog till I have all the words.

And this is what I am doing right now! Here they are -

It was at times a long and difficult road

But I am glad it was long and difficult

Because, if I hadn't gone through hell to get there

the lesson might not have been just as clear.

Right from the moment I met your mom

I knew, I have to love this women as much as I can

for as long as I can

and I can never stop loving her

not even for a second.

I carried that lesson with me through every stupid fight we every had

every 5 am Christmas morning

every sleepy sunday afternoon,

through speed bump

every pang of jealousy or boredom or uncertainty that came our way

I carried that lesson with me

and I carried it with me when she got sick.

Even then in what can only be called the worst of times

all I could do was thank God.

thank every God, there is or ever was or will be

in the whole Universe

and anyone I could possibly thank

that I saw that beautiful girl on that train platform

and that I had the guts

to stand up, walk over to her

tap her on the shoulder

open my mouth and SPEAK!

As I saw that video and heard the lyrics... I realized that this is totally how I would define 'Love'. All

Ted has in his heart for Tracy is pure genuine love. He loves her so much that it doesnt even matter

that she is dead and he continues to love her. He loves her by remembering every little bit of details and telling it to his kids... Even in the early seasons, before Stella, before even getting that Umbrella, often whatever he thought of how the Mother should be, he has remembered that and shared it with his friends. I love that thing.

I hope.... someday I will learn to love this way!!

How I met Your Mother : What I miss the Most

You know... I am kinda watching How I met Your Mother rerun - from Season 1 till it goes on (currently, am at Season 3)... and you know, now I know how it is gonna end, the experience is really different.
Like when Ted gets to know that Robin likes him and even when he is already with Vitoria, he says that with Robin it feels right. Similarly, now that I am seeing it, Robin was way too better with Ted than she was with Barney, quite honestly. It was right but it was right for Robin. She had it all. He was the one she said 'I Love You' for the first time to. She was ready to move in with him... even if that never really worked. But you see, if there was anyone Robin was going to be with, it was Ted. I mean, yeah I loved Robin and Barney as a couple and I so wanted them to be together but now I see that was so not gonna work.

But then... this relationship was right from Robin... Was it correct for Ted? I think not. You see that yes, Ted was willing to travel and live on the road and have adventures for Robin but you know it just wasnt Ted. And one can make adjustments here and there but something as big as this was changing your entire self. One thing that hasnt changed in my perspective from last time to this is that Ted is a very nice guy and I wouldnt want him to change at all. Therefore I believe (still) that its only Tracy for Ted.

In the first episode of Season 3, Ted tells his kids (in future) that this story is not just about meeting the mother, it is about becoming who needed to become in order to be the perfect one for the mother. This is really beautiful.
Tracy and Ted are two very beautiful people but had they met just like that at a bar or something and dated, even I doubt they would have discovered each other. Ted needed heart-breaks (loads of them) and still keep believing in love. That is how he was able to make Tracy believe in love after she lost it once. And had Tracy not been with that other guy who proposed to her in Farhampton... she wouldnt ever realize how much pain she was feeling. Only when she faced it, was she able to deal with it.

You know... I totally wish there was another season... even half a season, where we could see them together. Now that it is shot, I know the alternate ending can be no different because it is not gonna be reshot, whatever is shot is gonna be rearranged... and it will just be that they meet or she is dead but no Robin scene. Whatever it will be... I still didnt get to see Tracy. And as a fan... I will always miss her as a part of the show... no matter how many times I see it. Right from the first appearance of that Yellow Umbrella in Season 3 till the last bit... I see and all I think it - hey this is Tracy... Gosh, I wish she had a dialogue or just a glimpse. But I know that is not happening.

And you see there is one scene I loved... when Lily and Marshall get married, there is a small conversation between Barney and Scooter.... and they are real life sweethearts. It is amazing... And there is another scene where before starting to date, Robin and Ted bring dates to make the other jealous and Robin brings Sandy Rivers. And there is a brief second where Lily is talking to Ted or Barney and she glances over the left because that is where Sandy, her real-life husband is sitting. So adorable..... <3 p="">
Anyways...... this post is just about something great... now ended but I am so gonna miss it. And it doesnt matter if I am mad about it or not because it is so not gonna change. It is a sadness I will feel always for not knowing Tracy.... :)

HIMYM all over again!

I just watched the series-finale of HIMYM and I cried!

After all these moments, if there is one thing I know for sure - I started watching it as a series but now, I am totally in love with the characters. They are simply - beautiful! And if there is something that will never change, it is that no matter how much time passes by, I am always going to remember this wonderful show and I am always going to keep telling people that 'it is only Tracy for Ted' and I am going to cry every time I see episode s09e23 or s09e24…

And I would want my kids to see it too! I would want to have a son like Ted or a daughter like Tracy (keeping aside the numerous relationships of Ted and the untimely death of Tracy). I wouldn’t just let my kids see it, but I would have them see it on weekly basis, like I did - waiting for it! Not that I want them to not have it but I would want them to perceive the series like I did and enjoy every bit of it. Waiting for an entire week to see a 20-minute episode was definitely Legen-Wait-for-it-dary !!

About HIMYM… I was earlier today in conversation with my cousin who simply HATES the show. She just doesn’t find it real enough or not preaching the right  things enough. Well, while talking to her, I realized that I liked the show but it is because of the ending that I am now obsessed about it. Like she (my cousin) made a point, I would never spend hours at a stretch in a bar and it is also very unlikely that a bunch of people leave everything behind and meet at a bar regularly… but HIMYM has taught me that friends are there for you in everything stupid that you want to do. McLarens was not just another bar where Ted would drink and whine after his breakups or Barney

would pick up a chick… but it is somewhere Ted got to be Ted and no one judged him for being like that. It was a place where he was accepted for who he was. Even when Stella left him at the altar, the bar or Carl the bartender was nice enough not to be rude. So, more precisely, McLarens was their friend.

But if it is just about Barney - there are just a few lines I would want to recall - "I love you. Whatever I have and whatever I am, is yours forever".

And about Tracy - I am never gonna be over her. I just love her way too much! There are certain characters like Anand and Kal Ho Na Ho, which have their protagonists be wonderful characters who are going to be remembered and loved by all. Now, I don’t profess that a character needs to die to be great. Instead, I really don’t understand why all the good people die so much? Anyways… Like Anand - the eponym character and Aman of Kal Ho Na Ho, Tracy is portrayed to be one very strong and affable character. I mean, how can you not fall in love with her? She was witty, fun-loving, beautiful and at the

same time, she was a part of the group and also gave the group all the privacy they needed. She was in love with Ted but that never made her stop Ted from having late nights with his friends. Her love wasn’t conditional and this was the very reason that she loved Robin to be a part of the group as anyone else. She did something very noble - she brought Ted hope.

I remember, in the series finale of season 8, when he mentions to Lily that he is leaving, it was heart-breaking… almost as bad as seeing the show end. But yes, Lily was correct - with Tracy, it was different. Only she could have stopped Ted and not just stop,

we all know how much Ted loved the city - she revived all that love all over again!

Even today, the last twenty minutes of the show… especially those few last lines by Ted are sufficient to bring tears to my eyes. He can soften my heart in a matter of seconds. No matter whatever I feel, those twenty minutes are so beautiful. And there is nothing in this world that can change how those twenty minutes make me feel. And even today, yes I have my complaints but whenever I look at the last episode, all I can do is thank God. Thank every God is there is, was or will be and any one I can possible thank that there was something so beautiful and that I was fortunate enough to be a part of the legacy!

HIMYM : An Alternate Thought

:: Something I read on the internet and I really liked - yes, How I Met Your Mother ending wasn't perfect but well, it teaches us that neither is life. We don't always get what is perfect... what life is - to make the ends meet in the best possible ways. I will always be annoyed and upset... I will always fight that Tracy should be alive... I will never ever consider watching the Finale ever again, especially the scene after the story is over............ nonetheless, I have given you 9 years, I can't stay mad at you forever. It will take time however! ::

I read an article written by someone who counters the people who hated the ending. Firstly, I really liked that article. It was very nicely written.

The Article

Of course, I am still very much adamant on the fact that 'Tracy' was the only one for Ted and it is she who should have been with him, forever. However, there was a very beautiful thing that I realized through the article - HIMYM had a beautiful ending, it wasn't perfect (see others see that too!) but HIMYM wasn't about perfection either... It showed life with all its twists and turns. It showed life what what life really is... and Life, my dear friends, is not perfect.

Yes, the perfect ending would be that when Ted finishes the story, the mother would come from one of the rooms and taunt him playfully that is he reciting the story all over again? Maybe she and the kids would share few laughter before Ted would join in and then we would see a happy family - the kind of family, Ted always wanted... the kind of life he deserved!

But, well hey - no one does get what they want - life's not that perfect and eventually, you learn to get along with this fact.

To be very honest, what I hated the most or the reason why I am so hurt is because Ted and Tracy, both have been through A LOT! It was only fitting that they shouldn't have to go through more. We all have been with Ted - being left at the altar... running away with a bride... going after a girl for 9 years, only to know that she is the one and you can only be her friend... and Tracy, on the other hand, loosing Max wouldn't have had been easy. Of course, we didnot see Tracy as much as we did Ted but in a way, I think that it was only fitting that the two should be together. They are like made for each other.

Both of them think that there is this one person in their lives who they love and who is the only one destined for them. Whatever may be the reason, that one person is also the person who is just not the one who can stay with them. Somewhere, they live their lives trying to find love, only to find in the end that they have not let go of that person that possibly, they never will be. To Tracy, Ted was the fresh start - answers to all her questions since Max left... and to Ted, Tracy was the only woman who ever freed him from the ghosts of his past relationships with Robin. She accepted him the way he was, with all the things he did for Robin and others... remember, she even had him dressed for the slutty pumpkin... and that was the adorable thing about the couple. Both of them were incomplete because of some other person but they both completely each other... perfectly!

Of course, because of their past experiences, they both wanted a perfect wedding - this is also because of the fact that they were peas in a pot - both hopelessly romantic - but this never stopped them from sharing love. They both spent years together... having kids and seeing them grow. In my culture, such a relationship is not generally seen with respect but I see theirs with a lot of admiration. I learned from them that a wedding is not required to keep your vows. It is more important to be there, for always.

Tracy never burdened herself onto the group... she knew she was the late entry but even being so, she never pulled Ted out. She was happy to be a part by hearing the stories and sharing hers with Ted.

Tracy McConell, you are one lady I wish I would grow up to be. You are kind hearted and charming. You are understanding and at the same time demanding. You are definitely my inspiration.

Yes, I totally loved the character of the mother but there is also another reason that I hated the finale - ROBIN DOESN’T END UP WITH TED! I mean she shouldn’t. Oh common… not once.. Not twice… but three times the two hooked up in 8 years and not once did Robin realize how much Ted loved her? And she didn’t even realize when she was there searching for her locket and the only one who turned up was Ted, despite the fact that he was the only one who had a real reason not to? I mean he does everything for her… as in everything he does is all for her and she never sees it. How can this girl be the right choice for him?

You know, it was already hard for me to accept that but having some chat with friends who like that Ted ended up with Robin, somewhere I am more determined that Robin was the wrong choice. The honest confession is that yes, I could have coped up somehow with the mother being dead but Robin is unacceptable. If it had to be Robin, firstly it should have been her long back… it shouldn’t have taken this long for her to realize. And then, if it was Robin then the entire point of the story is lost!! Somewhere the mother was the one who helped Ted get over Robin. She was the reason that Ted could finally love…

I guess, I am complaining again. Anyways, like I began… just because of 2 episodes I can't be mad into a 9 year long journey. Yes, it will take a lot of time and not to forget that I will never, never accept that Tracy can die or Robin is the one. However, I have loved the show. I know it was hell for like 10 days before the finale when each day I counted the moments. I didn't sleep on Monday night because I had to see the episode first thing when it came on Tuesday. You see, I can't be mad at it forever. I am disappointed and I will be, maybe forever but yes, I can't be mad forever.

Inshallah, I will definitely write my version of the finale and who knows, one day, just one day, the creators might read it and all I wish is that they would smile out of joy.

How I met your Mother : vlog

Here is a shorter version of 'How I met your mother' story. If Ted would have been a computer person instead of architect, it would have spared us the 9 years and thousand tears!! Enjoy!

HIMYM : An Alternate Ending

I did one article about how I felt about 'How I met your mother' coming to an end, before the series finale telecasted and it is only suited that I do one after. So here it is - I spend 10 days mourning… I spent an entire night crying… I spent hours of my classes scribbling in my notebook/ whatsapp/ facebook about the number of days left… I took every second of my time to tell and spread the fandom of the show to other people (I have 2 people watching it from start and another one planning to)… I did all I could - and you give me this crap??????? HELLO??

The wiki article about 'The Mother' stated (I haven't checked it after the telecast of the finale) that the mother is the 'eponym' character - really? Is she? Is that why she is FREAKING DEAD?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?

SPOILER ALERT!!

I spent 2 years following the show - wait, more than 2. I saw every single episode for I don't know how many times… I spent all Tuesday mornings downloading the show… I wasted my precious internet MBs like water just so I could see you and this is what I get to see?

For the love of heavens, dear writers/ creators of the show, the show is called - HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER…. And NOT 'How I met your Aunt Robin'.

I get what Penny said that this story wasn't really just about Ted meeting Tracy at the Farhampton Inn, it is definitely about how much she affected his life and more importantly why. It is a journey, like Ted said - a long and difficult one and had it not been this difficult, he would have never met the right girl and fallen for her in the very moment. Everything - right from Victoria (I hope that's the name) to Stella to Zoey to Blah-Blah to Jeanette and even right to the girl he was trying to hook up with on the wedding - each one of them contributed to Ted's reaction when he first met the mother.

Of course, speaking of the wedding - I will get back onto Ted-Tracy after a little while - We SPENT AN ENTIRE SEASON ON THE WEDDING just so that THEY GET DIVORCED IN THREE YEARS?????? Guys, I understand that this is a sitcom but lately, especially after season 8, it is moreover a love story (love stories). Of late, it was a celebration about what is true love. What Barney did for Robin, he didn't do for anyone else and I never even imagined him to be like the way he was with her, to be with anyone else. Even the stripper he dated, she wasn't as special as Robin was. I know the baby thing was totally adorable and I totally agree. Even after marrying Robin, Barney couldn't be tamed. Eventually, they both would have to adopt a baby to let Barney be responsible and for Robin to learn to stay put at a place. But I can never imagine Barney to let go so easy… especially not when he spent every bit of himself to get her! That is just not like Barney!!

And Robin - Wow… it just took her 12 years to realize that she is in love with Ted! I mean in the 9 years of the story that we heard, she hooked up - not once, not twice but thrice with Ted and not even once did she realize that he loves you… Her was there for her when she was looking for her locket - did you not then realize that HE LOVES YOU? Even at her wedding, she had a panic attack; had she been really thinking that Ted was the correct guy, three breaths would NOT change her mind.

I mean, Robin and Barney were supposed to be the couple! We didn't even see 22 episodes put into Lily - Marshall wedding. When you spend 22 episodes of a season on a wedding, you do not take 2 minutes in the 23rd episode to get them divorced. Agree it or not… even if not you get Ted to be back with Robin, she wouldn't stay put and there will be the loop again. For goodness sakes, Ted has already been through a lot. And though I know Ted is sort of the centre of the talk over here, but I like to think of it as for Robin and Barney as well… before the divorce, Barney said that he loved Robin and later when at Ted's wedding he meets her, he says that he doesn’t feel anything for her now. I mean, please at least let's be consistent! It took 8 seasons for Robin to find someone and I don't want her to lose him either.

Back to Ted - I still don't get it! Right I know Ted isn't the most straight-forward person ever to be, but just to say that he wants to date Robin, he doesn't really need to tell the story he told.

So, ultimately to the creators/ writers, even if you wanted the mother dead, I take it but I won't take Ted hooking up with Robin. Personally, if you ask me, Tracy shouldn't have died either.

But what the hell! I spent a day crying and then I remembered - I still haven't accepted the last book of Harry Potter series and nor the things JKR keeps telling - like Dumbledore is gay and Harry and Hermione should be together… If I can deny an entire book, trust me, 2 episodes are nothing! I am a writer by choice, I will just have to re-write a few scenes here and there. So, this little post is about - I will post an alternate ending to the series in my other blog! Stay Tuned!

HIMYM : Episode 22 : The End of the Aisle

It took me 9 years and 206 episodes to realize this - I love you Ted Moseby. You are definitely one person I would want to spend my rest of the life. You are a best friend, lover and a protector, all in one package and if there is something that keeps us apart, it is the fact that you are way too perfect for me. I might never be good enough for you.

This particular episode was the end of the story in a way. Finally, we see Ted moves on. I believe that the show was not about 'How Ted meets the Mother' but it was more about how hard it is to let go of your first love. In a broader picture, the show is all about what love is.

SPOILER ALERTS!! I know it is very difficult to not have seen the episode by now, but still just in case.

It is in a sense the correct ending for the story, just like I mentioned. The episode is about Robin finally gets her locket. But before getting the locket, Robin panics and wants to see Ted. She tells Ted that only if Barney had somehow found the locket. Ted gives the locket to Barney who gives it to Robin, not revealing the truth. Of course Robin finds out that it was actually Ted who found the locket and for a moment, she believes that when Ted is the one who is always there for her, who is always by her side, shouldn't she be marrying Ted instead> Ted totally rejects the idea and tells her firmly that if she believed him to be the guy who would run away with her after knowing that she loves Barney, she had him all wrong.

It was this one moment that I fell in love with Ted. I had known Ted Moseby for some time now but it was the first time I really knew him. It must have taken everything he had inside of him to hear Robin say what he always wanted to hear and still do the correct thing. In that one moment, all the love Ted had for Robin, vanished somewhere. In a moment, he was free,

I guess it had to be like this. There could be no other way that Ted would have ever let go. If this particular event hadn't happened, even in Chicago, or any place on this entire world, Ted wouldn't have been free. I guess, it was destiny or on a little practical sense - the creators are just mind blowing.

Moreover, in a moment, I seriously fell in love with Ted. I have no words to describe why or how, but in one moment, I knew that his perfection had reached a level even I couldn't resist. Dear Lord, I know I would have to be penned down by the creators of How I met you mother to be Ted but I wish that I would never forget that one moment. Let that one moment always be in my heart as a reminder of what true love is. True Love is never to keep holding on; it is to let go. True Love is not to get love but to love unconditionally. At that moment, Ted suddenly reached to a point where he loved Robin with all his heart but he had come to terms with the fact that she would be happier with Barney and all Ted wanted was her happiness. Even if, at that point of time, it meant that he would be left alone.

I pray that I get someone who would love me like Ted loves Robin but more I pray, that I could love that unconditionally!

Meanwhile, as Barney tries to write the perfect vows to exchange on his wedding day, we see Marshall and Lily tell how real vows should be. For the first time I looked carefully and definitely Lily has aged. She does look like a married lady with kids. Her skin is not what it used to be, Her hair has thinned but you know what? She looked beautiful. The way Marshall held her, and was looking at her, no woman requires anything but that to be pretty. If you have someone who wants to see you beautiful, you are beautiful and that is what Lily and Marshall teach us, We are all humans and none of us is perfect but if you are with someone who loves you with all your faults, it is what makes life worth living. I disagree with who say marriages are built on compromises, Marriages are built on a love that pure that it is as obvious as the air we breathe - never noticed but can't be survived without. Lily are Marshall share a relation that only a very few couples could ever share. I sometimes wish that they were together in real.

Also, inbetween there is a little scene where Robin decides to escape alone. She hits the mother and there are some beautiful lines that the Mother shares there. Robin is surprised when the Mother doesn't advice a running bride instead, she just asks her to get calm before deciding on the next move. I am seriously glad that the mother is how she is shown to be. She is sensitive, just like Ted; emotional, again just like Ted but at the same time she is a visionary which is very different from an impatient Ted. I hate that Ted just started telling the story of how he met his wife where he should be telling his children more and more stories, especially of the times when he fell in love with the mother.

Finally, Barney accepts to Robin that it was Ted who brought the locket. He decides on one vow that he needs to make and keep - he will always he honest with Robin....... Aww <3 all="" can="" his="" i="" is="" p="" say="">

 

All I could say - I am glad 'How I met your Mother' happened and thankful to the creators for a wonderful story and lastly, blessed, to have been a part of its journey!

How I met your Mother

When asked Cristin (The Mother) about how she would describe the ending of the 9 season long

journey to be, she said beautiful. If I was asked the question, I would reply saying 'Legend I-am-so-gonna-miss-you-and-wait-for-you-forever ary'. This is definitely one show that I never wanted to end. Even as I write this, I stare at the picture of Ted and the Mother, on my window and while Ted is smiling towards me, the mother is smiling seeing Ted. Like Josh said, I am really happy for Ted. I am glad that he finally found the one. It has indeed been very long and somewhere I wanted the Mother to be perfect. Cristin is perfect and so is the character she is portraying.

I really cannot believe that the series is ending. For the past ten days, I have been dreading this very moment and now, when it is just a couple of hours before the actual telecast of the series, I am just speechless. I got big tears rolling down my eyes, I am glad every time I see Ted and the Mother together but there is a huge empty space in my heart, which can't be filled, ever. For the past 9 days, I have cried, I have laughed, for every moment that I am awake, I have dreaded this moment. All my friends have laughed and tried to tell me why do I like the series to an extent that I am crying for it. Well, there is no answer to be honest but if you look at it the way I look at it, you would not need an answer.

I know I didn't follow the show since it started. I used to catch the last few minutes of the show when it telecasted the 7th season on Star World before MasterChef Australia. I quite wasn't a fan then. After that, I saw the entire series from the beginning, till the end of the 7th season where finally we see 'The Robin'. For whole 7 seasons, I fell in love with Barney (yes, Barney!), I hated Stella, I was happy for Lily and Marshall, I wanted to see the slutty-pumpkin and the

biggest of all, Ted was always the perfect guy. He was definitely far to perfect and I dreaded that I couldn't ever live with someone so perfect. He was the perfection that always got him into my friend-zone.

Anyways, what I mean to say here is that when someone, even if they are just a fictional character, shares 9 years of his or her life with you, that is something you just can't let go.

Now when I think of it, in a couple of hours the final episode will telecast, someone will record it and put it on the internet and I will download it. I will dread watching it but will finally watch it. I will cry out of happiness. I will cry due to the void I am filling inside me. I will cry at the happy ending. I will cry because of the ending. Every atom inside of m will urge that just one more, please if not more, just one more episode be made. Let there just be one more Monday to await. Let there be just one more time at the McLarens. Please let there be a moment of the 6 of them.

My Mondays are going to be very dull without you!

I really don't know what to say and what to not. I just know that no matter how harsh it is going to be on me, I have to in a couple of hours see the finale. It is not the season finale but the series finale and trust me, these words hurt. They hurt bad!

I really can't think of what to say or what to not. I guess, I am just going into the rhyme more and more. But this is definitely a special message to all the crew and cast of this wonderful show - To especially the creators - Thank You! Thank You very much. I don't know if you will ever read it but I wish you do. I promise I will wish every day that you read this, for a week. I don't know if it means anything to you at all but I want to let you know that there is someone in India, far from where you guys are, who loves you show. I am so deeply attached to the show that I really can't figure out how will I carry on. You guys are just phenomenal to have created something so 'beautiful'. I know it is a sitcom but hey, it's life. Thank you for giving me Ted and the others, of course. Each day, I just grow more and more in love with them. Each day, I grow with them. Thank You. And I know the beautify dignifies when things are ended at proper time, but if possible, let us never be apart from the show.

Okay, I am crying way too much. So I just better wait for it. I hope you watch it too.

I am going to miss you a lot Marshall, Lily, Robin, Barney, Ted and the Mother….
