New Year Resolutions - Week 20 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

Week 20 is the last week before my brother arrives from the USA and it's going to be the time to get everything ready for him and his family. I will see his daughter after a gap of 5 years and the younger one I have never met who will turn 2 in August 2022. I saw the princess when she was just 6 months old and now will celebrate her 6th birthday in Aug as well. 

Week 20 - Sat 14 May 2022 - Fri 20 May 2022

1. Walking - I completed 19 kilometres this week and it is still a good effort from the previous week when my leg was paining a lot. The weekly targets in terms of walking and other things are going to be difficult when my brother will be here. 

2. Thank You - Took the same from 82670 to 100k and then again to the 6000 mark during the course of this week. It's a celebration in terms of the completion of another 100k for the month. 

3. Entertainment - It was time to watch Panchayat Season 2 and totally fall in love with the TVF production company again. It made me cry, laugh and curious enough to wait for the next season which will be released in some year's time. I also watch the RRR movie which is a visual extravaganza. I totally loved the whole storyline, action and VFX as showcased in the movie. Totally worth your time. 

4. Launch Events - I was invited to the YouTube Creator Day - Africa Month Celebrating African Voices as a member of the Youtube Shorts community. It was an awesome and grand affair and we learned a lot. The event gave us an awesome goodies bag as well which you can watch here on my Youtube channel. I received my first Google Smart Speaker at the launch event. Another launch event was for HMD Global - Nokia Smartphones which was at a great location named Dreambox which is really Instagram-worthy. I totally fell in love with the same and the goodies received were formed into a video as well. 

5. Hanuman Chalisa - I am now left with only 200x japs of Hanuman Chalisa from the goal of 42x Years of the same. I am really happy that I am progressing fast on the same. 

6. Social Media - I have been not been able to schedule the posts to be shared on Instagram or Facebook during the next few days. I am sure it will have some gap of 3-4 weeks before I start them again as my blogging has reduced on my website. I will get back to the same as I was more focussed on the Youtube channel and creating more and more videos there. 

All the goodies I am unboxing are only for the time when I receive or buy them and after a little, while I give them away to someone visiting me or the person whose birthday is near and sometimes ship them away to my family and friends. All the small goodies are not kept with me if I don't need them and not using them right away. All the snacks are also distributed right away to all the kids around me. 

WEEK 19

Cheers!!!

#TheLifesWayReviews Panchayat @PrimeVideoIN #PanchayatOnPrime #Comedy #Drama

Hi Friends, 

Panchayat is a web series on Amazon Prime Video and I was waiting for the same but somehow got delayed to see the same as my family was busy using the TV for a long time and then I had to see the same on my laptop. I totally loved watching the series because of the acting of Jitendra Kumar, Raghubir Yadav, and Chandan Roy day to day workings of Panchayat Office in a remote village of Phulera, Uttar Pradesh, India. Neena Gupta, Faisal Malik, and Biswapati Sarkar play another important role in this web series. Each episode follows a new challenge thrown to Abhishek as a Gram Sachiv and its a roller coaster ride. 

The story revolves around Abhishek Tripathi played by Jitendra who completes his engineering exams and take up a job as an Office Secretary for Panchayat Office working for the village Pradhan Manju Devi (Neena Gupta) but the whole decision making is done by her husband or Pradhan Pati Brij Bhushan Dubey (Raghubir Yadav) who also gets a verbal beating from his wife from time to time on many of his decisions and actions. The chemistry between them reminds me of Mungeri Lal Ke Haseen Sapne TV serials where Raghubir Yadav plays a similar role with Ruma Ghosh as his wife. Neena Gupta gets her share of acting in the last 2-3 episodes primarily and what a performance! 

Abhishek characters take inspiration and advice from his best friend Prateek who works in a corporate sector and at various times he is the person behind many troubles Abhishek faces in these 8 episodes on Amazon Prime Video. As he continues to fight the system along with the personal challenges of staying in a village and how he adapts and learns about the same forms this situational comedy web series. He also starts preparing for MBA CAT exams and faces many troubles which he overcomes. Vikas (Chandan Roy) working as Assistant in the Panchayat office compliments Abhishek and helps him from time to time and brings in a lot of fun and laughter to the show by his cuteness and honesty. The camaraderie between the main characters is what's best portrayed in this series and the scene where they are challenged by nearby town goons and four of them go and beat them up. 

The web series is written by Chandan Kumar and Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and produced by TVF (The Viral Fever) who has created around 20 more youtube and web series since 2010. Panchayat is their 21st venture streaming now on to the Amazon Prime Video platform and what a lovely series they made. The overall web series is really hopeful and all the characters fit perfectly well and the series opens up for a second season to look forward to as the last episodes come with a beautiful mystery character. Go watch it this weekend! RATING 4.5/5

Namaste!!!
