He starts by reminiscing about how peaceful his life was before Jagdish Tyagi (Jolly 1) arrived on the scene. According to him, Tyagi's short temper and dodgy English left him sleepless and nearly cost him his a look at the video: Then comes 'Jolly 2', Jagdish Mishra, whom Tripathi describes as overly obedient. He jokes that while Mishras are usually sweet, they're 'sweet enough to give you diabetes,' and blames Mishra's actions for giving his wife a heart attack.
