* DeadpanSnarker: The entire cast has its moments, though Maya, Sahil, and Indu deliver the most.



* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Rosesh's voice is much deeper in the earlier episodes, closer to his actor's natural voice. His way of talking is also different.

Added DiffLines:

* GiftedlyBad: Rosesh, seemingly at nearly every artistic endeavour he seems to attempt. This is most commonly seen with his poetry, which involves strange metaphors, somewhat nonsensical premises, and RhymesOnADime; Sahil has an OhCrap expression on his face whenever Rosesh proposes to read his poetry. His luck with most other arts isn't much better – his playing of the violin in one episode sounds like "dying cats". Notably, he's not a terrible actor (though the voice certainly doesn't help), but his tendency to play somewhat odd roles make him just come off as weird rather than profound.


Added DiffLines:

* OverlyLongName: Typically used for comedy.
** In Episode 45, when Indu plans to perform a play for Peace Day at the Cuffe Parade Club, Rosesh writes a play for them, entitled "What If Shah Jahan Had Cancelled The Plan To Build The Taj Mahal and Instead Built an Ordinary South Indian Restaurant".

Added DiffLines:

* ExactWords: In one episode, Indu challenges Maya to a scrabble competition: while Maya prepares a literal contract listing the actions Indu will do if she wins, he simply states that, if he wins, she will listen to everything he says. After he wins the competition, he asks her to make something to his liking for breakfast the next morning, and Maya gleefully notes that she only promised to ''listen'' to whatever he said – the contract says nothing about ''obeying''.


Added DiffLines:

* StatusQuoIsGod: No major changes occur throughout the run of the show; there are barely even references to earlier episodes. Both Indu and Maya and Sahil and Monisha will stay together in their identical dynamics, even with episodes where an outside character threatens to seduce one of them; Rosesh will also remain unlucky in love.

-->Well, imagine if someone wants to go to the bathroom in this courtroom. What would the writer write for them? "My lord, I have had the audacity to push the water within the caverns of my refrigerator down my throat and into my twin kidneys! And now, this same water insists on being reborn into this world! Therefore, may I go to the restroom to complete its deep desire?" Wouldn't they just put up their pinky?

Added DiffLines:

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Used sometimes, especially to show the pretentious attitude of some of Mumbai's upper crust.
** Episode 11 opens with Rosesh rehearsing a monologue for one of his plays in front of a bemused Indu and Vitthal, where he is supposed to tell the judge that death cannot destroy the soul. It comes out as:
-->''Why, my lord, why? Can death destroy the multicoloured existence hidden within me? Death is but a comma, an interval. Can death destroy that transparent empire in every atom of my body which we call God? Give me an answer, my lord, give me an answer!''
** Indu mocks him for it seconds later.
