    I watched one video that was recommend by UA-cam about Rajiv's handmade apartment; and went down a rabbit hole of art, clothing, food, singing and just an amazing time watching video after video. I love writing in cursive and so naturally I was intrigued by his hand written letters videos; wich made my heart super happy. I love one of his favorite handwritten letters, with the little drawings. Then I saw that he made it to Drew's show and decided to watch it. Little did I know that the episode would have a lot of my favorite things; Drew, Rajiv, handwritten letters, calligraphy, sweet nana's and I too am obsessed with the color yellow. This was a nice ending to my going down the rabbit hole of watching Rajiv's video's on UA-cam. Thank you kind Sir for being so inspiring.

    As a custom picture framer and designer, I helped a lady who came to our frame shop and designed a yellow 🖼️ frame. When my boss saw the frame, she chewed me out royally, saying I should have know better than letting a customer choose yellow. I wasn't sure why the customer's color choice was yellow, but I'm not the type to tell people what to like or dislike. My mom didn't like yellow, so I imagined my boss's no yellow rule might have been justified. But, when the customer showed up for her 🖼️ frame, she was wearing all yellow 💛. I was so happy 😁 to see her and know I helped her design the perfect design for her. It didn't make my boss happy, but my customer loved it. My boss's stupid remarks was one of the reasons I decided not to stay at this company. I realized they didn't deserve my talents.

    Gosh - I love Rajiv. He is very charismatic and so talented too. Sadly, his talents were overshadowed by the turgid cringiest of the segment he was allotted in Drew’s show. She definitely mispronounced his name. She talks as if she’s addressing Rajiv and her audience as toddlers. The zip code part is just plain stupid. She even goes as far as pretending she wants letters written from whoever lives there. Seems the producers have run out of ideas to fill the show. They need to cancel ‘zip code time’.

    This is an A-level cringe. I think the director really needs to tell Barrymore to slow it down. She feels plastic and without emotions trying to overdo everything. Just look how stranded Rajiv looks. Anyone watching Rajiv's videos knows how cool and minimal he is, and how energetic he is in presenting things as natural. Here, with all the unwanted props - most of them hiding the view - he is lost and profusely sweating inside while Drew Barrymore is struggling to connect with her audience.
