No Spoilers here. Almost.

Slept late last night. Interesting talk and good company. But, I think the abundance of spirits in my body helped me to get to sleep in no time, even when the conversation was worthy of being mulled over multiple times. And yet, the anticipation of the new episode of Game of Thrones – Season 8 Episode 3, woke me up before time. I do wonder at times that I ought to have had the same kind of excitement for my work. But well that is not the subject of this.

So, woke up in time to have enough time in my morning rituals to watch the new and latest episode of Game of Thrones. And it started. I could feel the anticipation in me; could feel the stress of the episode's slow and deadly crescendo to the culmination of the climax. Well suffice to say, I had to switch watching for a bit just so that I could finish some necessary morning ablutions.

And it continued. The cheese sandwich with cold coffee breakfast got consumed in the sights of dark and misty clouds and dragons fighting with blue and orange fire and scene to blazing fire on the ground with no bother to the ice man and scene to the library with the reminders of the zombie movies scene with the dead walking about lost and sinister and scene to ‘what do we say to the god of death’, ‘not today’!

And then the profanity that spluttered out from my mouth. The Scene. The scene that I watched and re-watched and re-watched and re-watched and gave standing ovation to and appraised using the word that has multiple uses in English language, as per Osho’s discourse. The Scene that made my heart thump. The creators of this series managed to make my heart go thump. Standing ovation yet again for them. 

On way to the office, I, as usual started listening to my book on Audible. And then stopped listening. The conversation of last night and the episode of the morning were catching up with me and my mind has had its fill of information. The whole way to office, all I could think of was what was one and what was other and what should I concentrate on. Suffice to say, the ride ended too soon and I am still not able to come out of the clouds of my morning and night time thoughts. 

I need a GOT fan to discuss this. Anyone out there?

** Spoiler ahead:

And ironically, the only Stark that is dead at the end of this episode (because who knows what is to come next) is the one that is not part of the GOT world at all but of the world of super heroes.
