Storyline:  Walter White, an overqualified high school Chemistry teacher diagnosed with Lung Cancer.

He collaborates with his former student and a current drug dealer, Jesse Pinkman. They decide to cook methamphetamine or 'Crystal Meth' and start to distribute their product in small batches. But in order to sell in bulk and get some quick money, the try to deal with Tuco Salamanca, a fierce Mexican drug dealer, played by Raymond Cruz. The season ends with suspense on how the duo can handle the deal of  'Meth' with Tuco in the next season.
Review: The storyline is gripping, doesn't bore you even for a second. The crisis and conflicts in a common middle-class family have been portrayed very well. The Screenplay and Cinematography are praisable. Talking about the performances, everyone did their job very well, especially Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul in the leading role. The portrayal of Walter White by Bryan Cranston as a decent husband and a caring father and how he unknowingly indulges himself in the criminal world for his family is very much acceptable. Aaron Paul adapts the local linguistic very well and his body language as a young local drug dealer is very much entertaining to watch. Dean Norris nicely played the role of a cool DEA agent. Anna Gunn as the wife of Walter White has done a very good job.
      All over, this first installment of Breaking Bad TV series is a very good series and totally deserves to be remembered.

My guitar learning experience

-
          I started learning guitar at the age of 18 when I was in class 10. I bought a 'second-hand' guitar from a guy from my neighborhood, although my experience at the time of buying the guitar was not good at all as the seller guy agreed to sell the guitar only, not the guitar carrying bag and at that time I also promised him that I will carry the guitar inside the bag from his place to mine for then and after 1 day or 2, I will return him the bag. But, I didn't keep my promise. Then he started calling me for the bag and I keep ignoring him and the quarrel became huge.
