Well Hello!
I am here because my dear friend Paru made me promise to do this. And today is Friday evening, ergo I am free. I have been watching the episodes this week. They have turned on the cutesy tap and it is a flood. I am not complaining. I'll take cutesy Ishra over The Sun, The Pillar, The Pillar's (fake) Son and Shag-one-and-all any day.
Coming to aaj ka episode. Very...light and airy it was. Gaseous emissions notwithstanding. Aaj ke kostins. (No pints- Paru does the kos-pints. I only do kostins. Or pints. Of beer. 😛).
1). How many gas cylinders do they run through in the Bhalla household in a week? Wasn't it only at Mihir's Tilak- presumably like 4 days back that they ran out of a cylinder? Presumably a replacement arrived since they have been cooking until today. I no understand.
Note to writers: Using the same trope twice in 10 days in the same show is LAZY. Even for yougaiz it's lazy. Kuch aur likh dete. Vegetable vendors ka strike hai aur eggs sad gaye. Palak and Paneer have eloped. Kuch bhi likh dete yaar.
2). Amma has discovered the internet and the house is a mess. Well, I for one am glad. At least we weren't subjected to her godawful accent today. I pray she never gets up from the computer table. But, yaa...the kostin. INKE GHAR PE BHI GAS KHATAM HAI! COME ON. How lazy can you get writers? That is my kostin. How lazy can you get?
3). What was Raman trying to achieve by those gas-correction exercises? Judging merely by positioning, I'd say he was trying to push the gas down her tummy and out of her...well...you know where the gas is emitted from. In which case, I'd say he was standing right in the line of fire...err...emission. I have never heard of exercises to cure gassiness. But that's OK. If Raman says it, it must be true. Much can be forgiven of a pretty boy. No?
4). Even Mani knows about Ishita's gas CYLINDER problem, but her husband is clueless. CEO of the year, yougaiz. President of the Indian Entrepreneur's Whatnot. Kaise ban gaya? Did he bribe the jury or what?
5). Even the last scene, funny though it was, brought the scent of gas with it. Seated on the pot, Mr.Green-eyed-monster Kumar Bhalla was furiously surfing through his wife's Friends(not FACE) book for the elusive male friend Mani. Buri baat Raman. Besides, bad tactics. Her phone would have been much more useful- friendsbook+text messages+phone calls et al. Again, CEO of the Year, huh. Kostin- school mein Long Jump Champion Kumar Bhalla tha kya? Whatay leap. Let us all pray that these are the only leaps this show sees ya.
6). What on Earth is Bala doing? Every time these guys try to create suspense it turns out to be a damp squib. So I am just going to put it out there. He's hiring himself out as a high class escort to support his family. Is liye swanky hotels mein muh chupaate firta hai.
