The real reason why the web series Panchayat makes me feel nostalgic about mid to late 2024. What do you feel?
So Panchayat is a web series/OTT with 4 seasons which shows comedy of the life in an Indian village named Phulera. It's really funny and it shows some funny village politics and it's about a Sachiv aka the secretary of the village panchayat named Abhishek Tripathi and the Pradhan ji but he was also preparing for MBA entrance exams. So the stories revolves around Phulera. But you all maybe wondering why it makes me nostalgic about 2024 right? That's because that was the year when I was entered my 3rd sem of MBA and I was 23 and finally broke out of my shyness in campus and approached women especially this woman Dimple who was soft spoken and introverted Punjabi woman from Jaipur in India but was in our city Bangalore in India for her MBA whereas I am Bengali living in Bangalore for many years. So in Sept 2024, me and my parents went to our hometown Siliguri in West Bengal for 8-9 days for my grandpa's 1st death anniversary.
As both my paternal grandparents are dead, my uncle(dad's older brother) and aunt who are both doctors lived with us in the same home. I was initially fine but suddenly I remember on 10th Sept 2024, Dimple unfollowed me on Instagram which made me so sad and confused as I didn't know what happened. I wasn't in Bangalore so couldn't even ask her about it in person so I felt helpless in Siliguri. I was waiting to return back to Bangalore to just for one last time get a closure from her. I remember me, my aunt, uncle and parents would watch Panchayat series of the 1st three seasons(4th season wasn't released yet) at every evening and it was funny and it helped me distract my mind from the confusion about Dimple. I remember still overthinking so much about it and was like how will it be after I return back to Bangalore and talk to her. As I was just newly talking to women, my emotions about it were intense.
I remember posting about it on this site SW too and even arguing with some who sounded dismissive to me at the time and got blocked. But watching Panchayat still felt so good. Now I remember that time. I remember the 4th season was out in last year June 2025 and I watched it but it didn't feel fun as last year we didn't go to Siliguri and as MBA was ending and I had no structure, I didn't have any crush or woman like Dimple to look to. The 4th season lacked the fun too of the previous seasons especially first 2 seasons and it was repetitive. Now at 25, I feel nostalgic whenever someone says about Panchayat as I remember how in mid to late 2024 I still had a structure, wasn't only dependent on cold approach, had Dimple and other women to look forward to talking to in University even if the Dimple moment was painful, went to Siliguri which felt like a change of routine etc whereas now I am job seeking, no Siliguri trip, no women to look forward too and mostly one time cold approach interactions with women. What do you feel?
