Such a brilliant episode.👏

One pertinent problem of self- doctors . Everybody knows everything about every disease. Why do we need doctors then ?

Desi nuskas do work but they are not the only thing in the world. For example: I am allergic to cough syrups so I take honey and it works for me. THe case cannot be equated to other people around here. The problem is that cough and cold can have various other reasons and has to dealt separately for every patient. In some cases, cough and cold are because of some dust allergy. Apparently, honey won't work here, will it ?


Bobby began with logical solutions like adrak wali chai to gurgle but things then shifted to bhabuti and nazar utarna.It was the time when a speed breaker was needed. She didn't stop herself and no body else cared.
A word of caution : never, never and never take any medicine without medical prescription especially if it is to get rid of allergies.

Oh I wish I had seen the episode. It's probably one of my biggest pet peeves: Desi Doctory! 😆 Everyone seems to know everything about each illness and even have their own cures for them. I remember watching not too long ago an episode of Comedy Nights With Kapil where Kapil took a jab at people who keep "recommending" things to do get rid of this or that without even fully understanding your condition. 😆 It can be really frustrating for the person suffering too.

I had a first hand experience of this when I was visiting my family in India during the summer of 2011. Apparently, something in Gurgoan triggered my allergies, but I was not sure what it was. My dadi told me to talk to her tenant and get the homeopath medicine she uses for her allergies. She kept insisting that because of that medicine her tenant does not sneeze anymore. 😆

Unfortunately, I did not have the time to see the homeopath doctor or talk to her tenant as we were traveling. I went to Calcutta to visit my bua, uncle, and cousin. My allergies has worsened, and I was up every night with a very severe cough. Rather than taking me to the doctor though, my uncle kept giving me all the Desi nuska and chuskas he knew or heard about. My bua even told him after a few days to take me to the doctor because my coughing was getting out of control. He did not listen because he was convinced that he had the cure right at home, in his head. 😆 My mother was frustrated with him too because we do not know any doctors, so we were dependent on him to help us. I ended having a horrible cough and did not sleep in the night for about two weeks. Then, we traveled to Ranchi to visit my Nana and Nani. My Nana heard my cough and called the doctor immediately.

The doctor heard my chest and told I had developed bronchitis due to prolonged lack of care for my allergies. He gave me three different medications to take, and finally, that night I slept after so long!

Long story short, these Desi nuskas do work to an extent, but please, be reasonable as well. If it's not working, it's not working, and go to the doctor for help. It's not worth risking your health, life, and sanity!

Thank God you got proper medication finally.
I sincerely understand your problem. Few of my relatives are into medicine business and they are so sure that they know about medication that they readily distribute the medicines they have in stock. One of them in fact recommended a blood pressure tablet after checking the blood pressure at home which I refused to take.

Like seriously ? Those who prescribe tablets are doctors. Those who study about human health are scientists. Those who make these medicines are all high profile medical practitioners. Yet only a Bsc graduate working in a medicine company finds himself learned enough to prescribe medicines for everyone.


They are simply like those medicines sellers you find in the streets who claim to cure common cold to cancer with only one medicine but of course with a better and convincing packaging.

In my case though, my uncle does not have any medical background...just a cornucopia of Desi Nuskas he's collected over the years. 😆
I do notice that how people will ask the chemists over there for medicines. I would never trust them because what do they really know about medicine? Over here, I do ask the pharmacist for assistance with over the counter medication, but this is someone who has gone to school and through training and knows about the medications and their use.

Awesome episode 👏 ⭐️ ⭐️

The episode began with Bhagwan Das sweeping away the the water that had collected and Shivay comes there.
The conversation between Shivay and Bhagwan Das are always a treat to watch.
The manner in which Shivay kept teasing him and his frustration was 😆
Shivay asked him what was the need for him to do the work,since Bobby who had gone out would do it after coming back.
Bhawan Das:Gar mai bacche buzurg hai phisle ke gir gaye tho
Shivay:Bhagwan Das bacche kabhi buzurg nahi hote.Jo kam umar ke hote hai wo bacche hote hai aur jo saat saal ke upar hote hai wo buzurg hote hai Bhagwan Das 😆 (This was brilliant 👏)
Bhagwan Das's frustration was worth watching 😆

I like how in the show, the fun element is just so easy to come.It is not like forced comedy.The situation itself brings it up and makes it so.

The songs played on the radio did match the situations 😆

When Bobby comes back,she scolds him for having swept the water towards the other side instead of towards the mori saying that he has increased her work asking him why he does such type of ulte seedhe harkte. He also gets scolded for having brought a cheap umbrella which broke easily because of which she got wet in the rain.Shivay doesn't loose the opportunity to say that Khanna's umbrella never breaks 😆
Bobby too said,"Kahi Kalia aapko firse naukri se na nikal de" Already Shivay had said this twice and now Bobby 😆
Earlier he had told Shivay that he would scold Bobby when she comes back.After Bobby goes inside:
Shivay(in his usual manner): Waise ek baath tho hai Bhagwan Das,tumne Bobby beta ko kya danta hai nahi.. Bhagwan Das leaves frustrated and Shivay has a good laugh 😆

The major part of the episode dealt with how Bobby started with ginger tea and then went on trying remedies suggested by one and all and her condition kept worsening.
She took the remedy suggested for cough and ended up getting rashes in her mouth.Then she took lemon for the allergy against honey Her condition worsened.Later she took tablet for rashes as a result of which she started getting itching.Next,she took a kada for the itching.On and on she went taking the so called remedies one after another,which every other person told her.This also included nazar utarna done by Baby.
Later she was taken to the doctor by Bhagwan Das after her health worsened to the extend that her voice started sounding like a male. Eventually she was healed after taking proper treatment.

The cost of the treatment at the hospital amounted to Nine Thousand.While talking to Shivay,Bhagwan Das blamed Bobby for this, attributing it to her delay in going to the doctor.
Shivay reprimanded him rightly pointing out that,he was also responsible for it as he should have scolded and taken her to the doctor initially itself just as he had done afterwards.

Shivay further told him the home truth that he had not done so,because he himself had thought that when the treatment could be done with cheap home remedies then why was there a need to spend more money on the doctor.Bhagwan Das couldn't deny this fact.

Shivay asked him if had heard of the saying 'Neem hakeem khatra-e-jaan' and went on to say how now-a-days every other person who don't have an ounce of knowledge claim to have a remedy for everything and asks what would a person who takes a formal education in medicine do if these people start doing all treatments with their so called remedies.

Shivay further tells him that that the actual cost had amounted to Eleven Thousand which included many hidden costs which was spent on the home remedies taken etc...Bhawan Das is left speechless at this.

Shivay goes on to tell him that, just as a cobbler stitches shoes,a tailor stitches clothes,a doctor performs operation..these people cannot do each others work.And so,each person should do his own work.

I didn't like Mishrain's behavior in the episode.
She always borrows items like tea powder etc from Bobby.But when Bobby took tulsi leaves from her plant she asked Bobby to grow her own plant.I didn't like the way she behaved at that time.

This was funny:

Bobby: Aik tho ye footpath pe se saathe wale chaate utakar leke atte hai jara se teez hawa kya chali kauwa banke toot gaya ye chaata.
Bhagwan Das: Kauwa? 😆
Bobby: Aise ulta hota hai na ye dekiye (showing him the broken umbrella)
Shivay: Waise Khanna saab ka chaata khabi nahi tootha Bhagwan Das 😆
Bhagwan Das: Ye Khanna ka chaata kyu nahi tootha?
Bobby: Kyunki wo raincoat pehnte hai aur wo be mhenga wala dukan se kareeda hua aap jaise nahi hai..aur ek minute..
Bhagwan Das: Kya?
Bobby: Khanna saab ya kaise beech mai aa gaye? dekh rahi hu aaj kal booht interest le rahe hai aap Khanna saab mai.

People don't let touch the Tulsi plant. There are various beliefs with that. YOu cannot blame her for that. Also, the plant was too young to get leaves from.
