As we move towards episode two of Little Things, we find that it explores the other side of Dhruv (Dhruv Sehgal) and Kavya’s (Mithila Palkar) relationship. In the first episode we saw them loving each other even when things get boring. 

In this episode on the other hand, we get to see an angry Kavya storm out of the house after she is unable to iron her clothes because of Dhruv’s recklessness. She is late for a meeting and storms out of the house which upsets Dhruv. 

When he heads to work, Dhruv finds out that his research paper has not been selected and it will be difficult for him to complete his degree and get the required certification that he has been working towards for years now.

On the other hand, we see Kavya struggle at her place of work too. Her boss is not happy about the way she has been acting at work and accuses her of being absent-minded and calls her a “shoddy worker.”

This is just one of those moments that everyone can relate with. There are days when things don’t go as planned, however what makes one feel truly powerless is the realisation that they cannot do anything to make it better.

But the beauty of this episode lies in the fact that Dhruv and Kavya try to make it better and own up to their mistakes.

When Dhruv’s friend tries to cheer him up by ordering Biryani for him, Dhruv decides to send one over for Kavya as well, for her to enjoy at lunch. This little gesture is the only good thing that happens to her that day. Kavya simply apologises to Dhruv over a text saying “Sorry I was rude this morning” and things go back to the way they were just like that. 

Kavya later creates a small video for Dhruv telling him that she will always be his best friend and his biggest cheerleader to help him get over the rejection he faced by the University abroad. 

Of course, not everything works out in their favour, the struggles at work are potentially going to have a long term impact. But at the end of the day when Dhruv and Kavya have both had their share of bad experiences, the only thing that brings them joy is jumping back together in bed and simply laughing it all away, hoping that the next day will be better. 

This episode shows how the little things can have a huge impact on our lives and at the end of the day it’s all about having positive thoughts and owning up to your mistakes. 

The little messages it carries helps Episode two of Little Things get a rating of 4/5.
