Best character
I don’t actually have anyone in mind for this episode. It feels a lot like a filler episode so there isn’t much going on.
Favourite scene
*I do not own the rights to any videos in this post, no copyright infringement was intended. All rights go to the production studio*
I love the opening scene where Devi is getting ready for Ganesh Puja. She looks gorgeous, the next scene is so awkward though.
Best quotes and one liners
MCENROE: Of course he had friendzoned her. She thought a wild animal was her dad.
DEVI: Mom, this sari is so uncomfortable. Why does it itch so much?
NALINI: Itchiness of saris is a rite of passage for Indian women. Deal with it.
DEVI: Why can’t I just wear kurta and jeans like I normally do? Then I don’t have to get half naked every time I need to go to the bathroom.
NALINI: Devi, you’re of age now. Half sari is more appropriate.
DEVI: Ew, Mom. Don’t say “of age.” It makes me sound like a girl in a douche commercial. KAMALA: What is douche?
NALINI: OK, everyone stop talking about douche. Lord Ganesh doesn’t need to see my daughter in ripped jeans and a “Fries Before Guys” t-shirt.
NALINI: Pray you get into Princeton. Don’t waste your prayers on stupid things like world peace.
Final thoughts and fun facts
This isn’t a particularly funny episode so there isn’t too much to say. I mostly comment on the funny parts of shows, but this is one of the more serious episodes. I love the insight on Indian culture and the gorgeous outfits, saris are stunning.
