Hello All,
Continuing on Pinto Singh..
My last post was about Pinto, the self-effacing character.
Now this one will be about Pinto - the resourceful character.
Pinto has been shown as not very good academically.
- Like the way he responds to Krishna's Thank you..."Mention Not". Cannot say if that was intended for fun or Pinto truly did not know english. 😆 - in the tempo on 20 th Dec episode if anyone needs a reference
- Like the way he could never get the multiplication tables(pahada) in maths - in 21st Feb episode
But what he has been shown as is the bankable person for the other high profile characters of the show especially his family.
In our everyday lives, we have one or the other errand or issue coming up that needs our attention. We have certain bills to pay, we have to take time to understand the problem and call the plumber, or the electrician, the technician and at times we need small services like a trustworthy messenger, a trust-worthy driver, a company wanted. While office going husbands most of the time trust their house-wives to be taking care of these things, sometimes the inept house-wives have the husbands take care of these items (especially calling the plumber, electrician, booking gas etc) from office 😉
I have always thought and felt as a working woman that I need a certain reliable SERVICE AGENCY that I can bank upon when I land into house hold problems, or make some social arrangements. Instead of me taking day off from my regular work schedule, I would rather call up this agency, report the problem and have it taken care of for me, for a nominal fee. Alas! I did not see such kind of agency service available. Was forced to do it myself in the regular manner.
Now our Pinto Singh, look at him and how he is this excellent service agency. Leave academics. But he is excellent in delivery as the errand boy for his father, mother and brother.
He takes care of the house-hold operationals, takes care of his brother's coaching premises, knows his father's business and can execute a given task and then stand aside, be a reliable driver (how Tuntun and Babloo use him), be a reliable messenger (again Tuntun and Babloo use him that way), a reliable company (the way Ganga and family use him).
And as the resourceful person, he is expected to relieve stress from troubled faces of Babloo.
Remember...Babloo's coaching Center Internet problem, and the way Pinto is quick to understand Babloo's concern that Krishna's name will be called for interview..he is quick to think and does the bribing act. In reality unlike as shown on TV, bribing act is not that easy 😆 One needs to be a little artful in doing that. If I keep my morals and ethics in the mind's back-seat and forget about it for a while, I will definitely not be able to bribe because I lack in that art 😆 My face and actions will show it and the person whom I am bribing would be highly displeased with my ignorance.
In reality, having such a person around you puts one in such a comfort zone. Do you all remember that certain Mama, that certain uncle, that certain family friend and that certain agency help in the form of a previous service contact is always the first one to be reached out when we see problem or new item coming up in house-hold matters ?
So Pinto is that comfort zone to people around him.
