Learned a new word today from wikipedia, regarding plot-elements.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_device#The_MacGuffin

MacGuffin is a term popularized by film director Alfred Hitchcock, referring to a physical object,  which drives the actions of the characters as they search for it or try to obtain it.
Hitchcock said that "in a thriller the MacGuffin is usually 'the necklace'; in a spy story it is 'the papers'".

Currently going episode, obviously Jayantilal's photo is the MacGuffin.
Now rewinding all TMKOC episodes, to find the Macguffins
Previous MacGuffins,

  1. Gold biscuit (Jethalal was going to give it to Dayaben on Ladies day!)
  2. Wall Paint (Sakaram Color Contractor track)
  3. Red sports car (Aiyyer gave it as gift to Babita-ji)
  4. Chandiramani's flat (Both Jetha and Sodhi wanted to buy it)
  5. Aaate-kaa-Dibba (Builder Bharatbhai had hidden his black money in it)
  6. Red Cherry Mobile Phone (Jethalal suspected that Sundar stole it)
  7. Tempo at Gates (driver or keys were nowhere to be found)
  8. Defective Sarees (Satyawan refused to change them)
  9. Kidney (for Rehman)
I'm sure this list is bigger...come on friend add all the MacGuffins you can recall!

Jethalal's life is full of surprise. Every day when he gets down from that stair of his house, he is looking for forward for two thing...babitaji and musibat :-) 😉
