Interesting point, anand. It is true that Holmes athleticism must be partially based on his creator's own abilities. But there's one significant difference:...
I agree with you , Rishi. Holmes was also a very good marksman and to be agood one, one needs to have a good muscle-eye co-ordination and breath control too....
The study of cumulative behaviour of groups, whether it be animate or inanimate, has always interested me. Obviously this is better known as "Statistics". It...
Hi Anand, I hope I am not at fault to put my sites on here for the perusal of the group. I was very taken with your analysis about activity. Isn't that so...

Goodness! Fits to a T, your mail does.;) ... I don't want to be Mean, but the study of lies and damn' lies has also interested me. In fact, I've often believed...
I did not understand anything in this post. Be kind enough to explain... ... Fits to a 'T' with what? I have heard that "that shirt fits you like a 'T'", "that...
... Your lack of comprehension is not my problem. Unlike you, I'm not about to degrade this excellent forum by starting a flame war. But three points, after...
I've noticed that all the discussions so far have focused on Holmes and Watson, with no attention being paid to the supporting cast. So I'm going to initiate a...
Hi Everyone, Thanks for the input on farmer suicides in India in the 1990s. This is why my character, Shri Acharia , left Andhra Pradesh and moved to England....
Lestrade has used Holmes' methods in one or two cases and actually succeeded in solving them. I don't remember exactly which Case/Adventure this is mentioned...
Sridhar, you are correct - it is Jose, not Hose. Thank you - there's an accent mark also, which I don't have on my keyboard, or if I do, do not know where it...
Sancho is lovely - reminds me of a certain Panza of the same name :)) In AP, as far as my knowledge goes, naming goes like this - City/town+First name+Family...
Dear Rishi & Anand, I hope you forget this entire episode as a bad dream. Let us get beyond all this bad blood and focus on the business of discussing the ...
Yes , that is an interesting idea. I feel taht ACD made Lestrade to be a bumbling fool just to contrast the brilliance of his creation.Lestrade is praised by...
... To some extent, I think that almost everybody in the Canon is there to make Holmes look good. Starts with Bumbling Watson and goes on to Bulldog Lestrade....
Greetings. Doyle seems to have made Lestrade and, in fact, all the other characters apt foils to the brilliance of his conceited Holmes, whose vanity and...
... I agree, but my question was really about whether Lestrade ever began using Holmes' methods at all. Essentially there are two points here: a. Like many...
I've always seen Watson as more of a gentle soul...absent-minded, refusing to see the world through jaded eyes. He's a medical doctor, sure of himself in his...
... I don't think Watson is "absent minded"; he's a doctor with a successful practice, after all. But I think you're right that he doesn't display much...
Hi friends, I was learning about mind-maps when I got an idea - why not create a comprehensive mind-map on Sherlock Holmes information? As you might know,...
Dear Sherlockians, I am forwarding a msg I got from a fellow Sherlockian.It is of interest. Here goes. Dear Sherlockian, May I draw your attention to the...
I agree Rishi, Watson is not absentminded. As a doctor, Watson's deducing abilities may stretch as far as diagnosing the correct disease but when talking of...
I'm on a vacation in Bhopal right now and that is why I had been unable to post for so long. It is very difficult to get your hands on a PC here. I see a lot...
Dear Sherlockians, One of the chief features of Dr Watson was his sense of loyalty. He does not hesitate to put his career in stake for the sake of his friend...
Well, undoubtedly Watson has a sense of loyality, but it is also to be mentioned that he could not have been otherwise! Right from "A Sign of Four", and...
"See. He's dangerous. Scared the shit out of me. I think flour's all over the kitchen. I dropped a whole damn bag getting in the pantry. Then I had nightmares...
