I have watched Lost in Austen few times…I actually love that series. Just find it so hillarious specially since it is like a mock up /twist of the original.
P&P just makes every girl’s dream come true…to have someone like Darcy tall handsome and super duper rich…who looks proud outside and inside he got a heart of gold…and who is head over heel In love with the girl. It is all fantasy and desire of every girl and novel in the end fullfills the desire to have a happy ending.
I used to read Urdu Novels like these…there are few good ones out there(not copy of P&P) but exactly same concept but ofcourse very very well written Urdu. Not like today’s novels mostly crap. Used to be soo hooked on those. So yeah the imagery of MR Darcy is everywhere even in different cultures, not just in P&P.

i just finished watching Lost in Austen. and i like it! the first time around istopped watching it halfway cuz i didn’t get into it. i thought omg such crap! but it’s gooooood! it shows you what things could have been if you changed things just a tiny bit. haha!

P&P is a big for me…

Although i did read it when i was young, maybe i’ll see it differently now

we can no longer be friends.

I simply love the book. And the BBC did an amazing adaptation of it. You know the one which stars Colin Firth.

oh yes. the colin firth version is gold.
