A lot of review channels and articles are bashing this show. I don't know why people are so against just simple, easy entertaining content. Call Me Bae is a fun watch and I binged it in a day. In an OTT world full of gore and sex, it's truly a refreshing change. It's light and breezy. It's quite funny in parts too. Not laugh out loud funny but will surely bring a smile to your face. I don't understand why people expect everything to be smart and slick. There are literally people in this world who make very literal jokes like those in this show. It's okay. As far as Losttel is concerned, I have actually stayed in Mumbai in a hostel where this kind of stuff would regularly happen. Even the apartment the girls are staying in, it's an old building and it's not uncommon for people living in the Bandra area find places such as these. I don't know why when people talk about Mumbai, it's only the local trains they think about. Mumbai has become more than just people sweating in the trains. Sure that's a side of Mumbai too but there is this side too and there's nothing wrong with showcasing that. This is a feel good show, Ananya Panday deserves credit where it is due and she's done a great job in this series. She's self-aware, funny and oozes confidence. I am not a fan but she's definitely outperformed herself in this show. The supporting cast is also very good. Story is predictable but the camaraderie between the cast will keep you engaged till the end. Don't listen to the haters. Let's bring back easy content again.

Halfway through this book and i have to say, I think CB should stick to writing fiction or join politics to to actually find out whether his ideas are feasible or not. This book in 2024 seems prematurely written and from the perspective of someone who doesn't actually stand for anything. For all the talk of appeasement, this book too seems to appease and appeal a certain section of the public. It would have probably served him better, had he waited another 5 years to write this book. Expecting any political party to show progress in a matter of 5 years is idealistic, unrealistic and absolutely ridiculous. It shows the amateur and immature nature of the analyst. I understand that CB has written this book from the perspective of an Indian citizen, but I would like to ask him, how many of these individualistic reforms has he followed himself? How many protests has he championed for the cause of the roads, rohingyas and whatever else he is on about. This book reeks of centrism, of someone who doesn't stand for anything, therefore is falling for anything. I am not a bhakt by any means and I do think there is scope for improvement, as there always will be but CB needs to get his head of Lutyens' roads and stick to fiction writing. This book makes some decent points but for the most past is an idealistic, quite ironic manifestation of someone who disses virtue signalling in his book, while literally virtue signalling with this book. You can give it a miss.

I've just started reading this book and while it started off great, I was shocked to see it promoting the Aryan Invasion theory. I understand that this book may have been written before the debunking of this theory which has gained momentum in the recent past, but it should be rewritten or completely taken off shelves as it is promoting this lies to impressionable minds. I don't see this book helping anyone understand the vedas Or upanishads. On the contrary, it is painting our Sanatan culture which the same decayed brushes as the West and their chamchas here in India. Disappointed. Don't let your kids get anywhere near this book if you truly want them to learn about Sanatan dharm and all its literature.
