Azeem Banatwalla recently came up with his newest video ‘Man vs Fridge’ and it is nothing but Truth. He explains why every fridge in the world is always full, even Ambani’s.

He starts off with sharing his latest learnings which can prove to be really helpful in your day to day life, such as DAFUQ, IDGAF, etc are internet abbreviations and apparently not some Muslim names. Insightful, isn’t it?

Azeem then moves ahead and shares the rules that people living in Bandra have to follow, and the pressure it brings with it. Jogging regularly and shopping at Nature’s Basket are the essentials if you don’t want t get thrown out of Bandra. The reason why he follows those strict rules is because Bandra is a cool place and it has lots of bakeries Patisseries. It’s like a bakery version of Shashi Tharoor. He highlights how these patisseries have unnecessarily creative yet threatening names, sinful chocolate, devil’s moose, and the likes.

It’s like chocolate is the new tobacco. Soon you’ll see Rahul Dravid in chocolate ads urging people to quit, otherwise you know what happened to Mukesh – Death by chocolate.

Azeem also shares his plight of managing a fridge and how he plays tetris every night trying to fit things in the fridge. But the crux of the matter is, no matter how big a fridge you have, you will always lack space to store things.

While this is a fact, there’s another fact that he makes us aware of…our incapability and unwillingness to throw away the stuff we get from Dominoes, be it oregano,  chili flakes or tissue paper. All kept safely in the second shelf of the fridge, beside expired sauces. How fridging awesome!

You cannot just miss this video. Every second of it will leave you grinning and wondering how does this man do it. Smooth deliveries bowled us over and left us wanting for more!

Latest attempt from the house of Amazon is One Mic Stand which is a 5-episode stand-up comedy series featuring celebrities and comedians.

Featuring: Shashi Tharoor, Bhuvan Bam, Taapsee Pannu, Richa Chadha, Vishal Dadlani, Zakir Khan, Kunal Kamra, Angad Singh Ranyal, Rohan Joshi, Ashish Shakya and Sapan Verma.

The main attractions of this show weren’t really Taapsee Pannu, Richa Chadha, Bhuvan Bam or Vishal Dadlani but our very own fountain of English, Shashi Tharoor. With his sharp act and a mind blowing display of wit, he outperforms the professional comics we have. With his well-written set and smooth deliveries, the risk he took of entering a comedy club in Noida was quite a success.

Who says taking risks is always bad?

So, the concept of the show is, in every episode, a professional comic opens the show, followed by a preparation video – more like ‘behind the scenes’ wherein they talk mentor the celeb and talk about the art of comedy. Post which, the celeb performs in front of a live audience that seems to heartily enjoy the gigs.

All 5 episodes are independent of each other. Start with whichever you like. If you ask us, we’d say, cut to the 5th episode. The politician-comedian team was a blast!

Here’s a sneak peak of One Mic Stand:

The other episodes would sure put a smile on your face or even make you grin, but don’t expect a LOL moment.

Elections & World Cup

Politics, Padmavati & Other News

Herein, Sridhar talks about the brilliance of Aryabhatta on inventing the figure for total number of jokes Indians can take.
