Do you take requests? If so would you consider making a gifset for Panchayat? I love that show.

Yes. I take requests. I was anyway going to make gifsets for Panchayat. I would be posting many more Panchayat GIFS apart from this set. Hope you like them.

Hi hi Ananya !  ❤️ 🤗

I hope everything is fine at your end. 

I am really sorry to have missed this. I don’t understand why this new tumblr is behaving weird. My ask box has asks and it never showed me the notification. Also it is big time messing with my tags.  😑

I have been inactive for quite a long time from and sadly have no recent notifications. 🙁

So, five things that make me happy (apart from the regular stuff like buying new clothes, footwear, salon pampering etc..) are -

Spending time with family especially going out with them on tours. We are leisure travellers.

Music. An inseparable part of my life. 

Sweets and Samosa. I love food, yeah ! 😋

Books and Stationery. I jump in joy when anyone gets me books or new stationery.

Keychains, Ear rings and Scarfs.  

@hirakdesherrani Thanks for sending this dear, it brought a big smile on my face !!!

Panchayat S1 E1 - Gram Panchayat Phulera

Note : I will try not to drop many spoilers and pictures.

As usual the trademark TVF scene in the opening. 

Our hero is waiting impatiently for the village to arrive and meanwhile we see the Flashback. 

Okay, now I know that our hero is also a victim of the engineering college placement scenario. His friend motivating him about his job profile is just LOL.

- “Swades ka Mohan Bhargav ban ne ka mauka mil raha hai tujhe”  😂 😂 😂 

Hero arrives at Phulera phiinally with his two wheeler, own gas stove and stuff. LOL. 

Yaas ! Phulera ko no. 1 banaana hai  🤝 🤝 🤝

I like the background score and the village looks lovely!

I have recorded some important information-- just in case, if I happen to visit Phulera  😂

But the mobile numbers given has only 9 digits, WTF, where is the 10th digit?

I love this Cleanliness Multiplication Table

Can that man please pass me that Agra ka Petha? I love them. 🤤 🤤 🤤 I am deprived of sweets due to this lockdown 😭 😭 😭

“Pradhan Manju Devi male hain?” 😂

Manju Devi is official Pradhan and her husband Brij Dubey is Pradhan Pati, these politics I tell you !

Fuck the key and hero is exhausted pissed . 😂 

Climbing the Tanki and falling in love with village scenery from there is noted. 

Pradhan’s Ringtone - Rinkia ke papa. I am sure his daughter’s name is Rinki

Bechara Abhishek is roaming around for food in the village and as usual people ask him “Who are you?”

Villagers are quite curious and alarmed whenever a new person enters. I am telling this out of personal experience. They won’t let you know anything unless you let them know about yourself.

Abhishek’s bike indicator gone, RIP

Pradhan and Pradhan Pati are just giving me vibes of family. 

This Abhishek himself answers first before the villager could ask 😂

Manju Devi 😎

“Darwaaze se mazboot toh taala nikla”  says Vikas (office assistant)

Fuck the door and the lock. I am sure Manju Devi would be happy.  😆

“Bhai, mujhe nikalna hai yahan se”. I feel you Abhishek

The one and only solution to get badi naukri (with lot of money) devised by his bro is to crack CAT and our hero is staying back to gain work ex.

Boom the light is gone. Paani pher dia apne hero ke plans par. 🙄

Panchayat by TVF

Panchayat is a comedy-drama, which captures the journey of an engineering graduate Abhishek, who for lack of a better job option joins as secretary of a panchayat office in a remote village of Uttar Pradesh. (source : Amazon Prime Video)

I loved this 8 episodes web series, because I could relate well to each and everything which was shown. My father was born and brought up in a city. My mother was born and brought up in various towns. Both my paternal and maternal families have their own ancestral villages but my father never visited his. My mother on the contrary often visited her village in her teens and is quite attached to her village (it is actually a Mandal, not a small village though). I was also born and raised in a city, but have visited my mother’s village quite a few times. I have observed many things which my mother fondly shared with me quite often about people, agriculture, politics, the community system of villages etc. Village folk are both intelligent and gullible, friendly and superstitious and still follow the caste system.

Panchayat immediately resonated with things which I heard from my mother and some which I have observed myself. Probably after YUDKBH, this was one series which I binge watched with my family. 

The protagonist, Abhishek Tripathi, unwillingly joins as a Panchayat Secretary in Phulera, Uttar Pradesh with a salary of INR 20000 because he has no other job on hand when he graduates. He starts preparing for CAT (MBA entrance test) simultaneously as he intends to get out of there and go back to city and do a corporate job which pays heavily. Now, whether he succeeds or not and what is his daily life in Phulera as a Panchayat Secretary like forms the rest of the story. 

P.S : For those who can’t understand what is Panchayat and what kind of a job is Panchayat Secretary --

Panchayati Raj refers to the local self-government of villages in rural India as opposed to urban & suburban municipalities. Under this system, every village has a Gram Panchayat (village council) whose head is known as Sarpanch or Pradhan. This council is divided into wards and each ward is represented by a Ward Member, also referred to as a Panch or Panchayat Member, who is directly elected by the villagers. The Pradhan is a decision maker, elected by the ward members as per the State Act. The Pradhan and the Panch are elected for a period of five years. The Sarpanch is the focal point of contact between government officers and the village community. The Panchayat Secretary of the panchayat is a non-elected representative, appointed by the state government, to oversee panchayat activities. The person is normally in charge of the administrative duties of the Gram Panchayat.

 @nawaazishein  

I do not. I would hope she is just busy with real life but otherwise happy and thriving.@maatikikhushboo T already gave you a shout, but lemme do it too because you’re getting some love on here. Where you at, boo? 

Thanks a lot my gurls @nawaazishein @tellywoodtrash !   🤗  💖

I am actually surprised to see this blog love coming inspite of me being inactive for quite a long time. YUDKBH was a show which deserved all the love. I stopped watching YUDKBH after certain point of time and hence didn’t update that blog. 

I am very much present here but seldom post things due to my busy schedule. Last year, I have started pursuing my MBA and it is quite exhausting. Life is throwing things at me really fast be it studies or work. I don’t find enough time to write about things I have been watching or create something new on my blog. Inspite of being in Lockdown, I am working from home, trying to adjust with the culture. 

I see that since I have been MIA, a lot has happened in ITV. I am catching up with things really fast. I have already discovered few gems. Also, I dunno why this new tumblr is behaving weird. 

Thanks a lot Anon and keep the love coming  💖

I was just being curious, do you know where all of a sudden maatikikhushboo has gone? Her YUDKBH blog was amazing.

Her blog is still active I think, it’s just that she doesn’t post much coz she’s busy with life.

Paging @maatikikhushboo !!!!! You’re missed around here, friend!!!! 🤗🤗🤗

Update : 27 March 2020

First of all, I pray that we all come out safe from this Covid-19. 

The good news is that I have somehow managed to catch-up quite a few things in the tumblr duniya. Many recs, and the list is too big. Will post here as soon as I finish glancing through. Till then, Ciao !!!

Hyelu !

First of all, I thank my followers for sticking around to this blog in spite of me being MIA for so long. 

I apologize for my uninformed absence from the blog. Life was throwing things at me really fast and I took almost 5 months to settle down. I started pursuing my Masters in Business Administration and it is fucking hectic. I have managed to come home after 5 months for a slightly long vacation for Deepavali and I realised that I need to revive my tumblr for my own sanity. So I am gonna start again! Yippie! 💖

Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear. Fear that their feelings may not be recognized, or even worst, returned. But one thing about human beings puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within.
