Thanks for receiving the video well guys. Means a lot. Kudos to your insaaniyat. Also, some of the things in this bit is obviously a hyperbole. It’s ironical that we mock some people for not being able to take a joke on say a politician or something else, but at the same time react the same way on something we deem so. Relax guys, these are just jokes. I don’t believe I have to say this, but no, I don’t want all turtles to die. Turtles are nice, I like turtles, Michelangelo is my favourite. In a bit about how it’s tough to talk about anything right now, if people react saying I SHOULDN’T HAVE SAID THIS & THAT, thoda ironical ho gaya nai.

[@Parthivigupta]

I agree that too much Political Correctness is quite insufferable at times. One needs to be good person irrespective of any of these movements. Laughed on many of your jokes:). I agree that sometimes SJWs make jokes of themselves with their "free the nipple" and "manspreading" But the turtle joke was a little off for me, coz I feel environmental issues are important and kinda need of the hour.

[@राहुलपांडेय्-ड2र]

And you are using 4g..that too is harmful for environment

[@prashantyata9725]

Everything that you agree about is funny until there is something you don't agree about...this is comedy...relax...

[@MrSivansuresh]

Manspreading is usually directed at macho men who intentionally spread themselves to look bigger in size. It is more of attack on patriachy. Nipple show, usually directed at societies (western societies) towards mothers who are not allowed to feed their babies in public. They need to cover up their breasts and babies face from public view. In hot countries like USA, women are not allowed to take their bras off in beaches and expose their chest just like male sun bathers because it offends someone.

[@moubhattacharyya1141]

It's people like you who will not support our ISRO missions coz man , there are people dying of hunger and cold .

[@sharikagangadharan916]

I also had the same thought when he came up with the tortoise-straw joke. It is not that I find pleasure in finding logic in it. But since the environmental issues are at peak, such issues should have been used in a manner which triggers the audience to think that yes we should change a little. Abhijith is totally capablw of doing it. He is one of the best standup comedians we have in our country. Wouldn't have commented if it came from someone else but an artist who is very much right and just in terms of perspective that it saddened a littlw part of me. I don't know whether he will read this or not. But if he reads it..all i wanna say that is.... u r among the very few artists i believe in coming up with the most entertaining content. Your opinions totally reflect your concern towards the society as a good citizen. Hence it is request that it is high time that we take steps against the environmental issues. We just don't get the seriousness untill it affects us all. With love Your fan Sharika
