Some people love Disney movies. The world of prince and princesses, fairy godmothers and evil witches... the world where good wins over evil and of Happy Endings.

I met one such ardent fan on Disney and the reason that I discovered really left me speechless for few secs. Meet my colleague J, an American Asian. She wears lots of Disney T-shirts. Loves Disneyland and frequents it more than once a year. Has Disney posters and figurines at her desk. As a self-proclaimed adult, who thinks Disney stuff is for kids, I was very intrigued with J's love for Disney.

Disney is about simple life where most of the people are good and there are no real life complicated problems. There are no disappointments and sufferings. There's always a HAPPY ENDING.
