Those who read and used to read will agree in unison that when it comes to serious crime solving there was/is only name, only one person who can do it with the precision of a surgeon. That person is a fictional character who enjoyed success in such a scale that it became impossible for the readers to think that he is just that - fictional. He grew out from the grasp of his creator and started 'living' under a roof at 221 B Baker Street, London., solving those exotic uncharacteristic cases that came to him. Readers know so much about him that it is hard for them to believe that he never existed at the first place; for them he has retired and is currently enjoying Bee keeping in a farm in Sussex - Yes, we are indeed talking about Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
I've always been a fan of his books and theories. One of the prime reasons of me becoming a fan might be because the detective (and the author) was always ahead of his time. Back in 1880's he saw the possibility of solving cases by taking finger prints and blood samples from the crime scene. His theory of deduction based on minute facts and inferences is even applicable to the current society. Just that it need some serious tweaking. My interests grew higher when I read that he relied on Cocaine when he is not solving cases simply because he found it too hard to sit on an idle brain. The man wanted challenges, the more difficult they were the happier he was.
For his talent, I've decided to convert this blog (which used to be my personal blog once) as a dedication site for one of the best brains to have ever 'lived'.
