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.

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 --
