Be that as it may, he also says that his irresponsible nature is the biggest bone of contention he has with his partner. "I'm happy being the way I am, though. Some people might have their egos hurt if they are told, 'Oh, you're so irresponsible.' But I'm not like that, and I wanted to justify it [with this show]," city-based Ranyal says.

His material, then, isn't along the political lines that some of his compatriots take. But he says that just like their comedy is derived from asking questions, so is his. Those who come for his shows are usually looking for family-related content. But even then, Ranyal's jokes seek to question existing norms, such as the need to be a responsible human being. Didn't make your bed this morning? It doesn't matter. Reached a meeting late? Apologise for your delay. As human beings, we all have inherent flaws that shape our identities. So, embrace them without beating yourself up about not being Mr or Ms Perfect. That, essentially, is the point that the comedian is trying to make.
