THE BEST THING ABOUT THE COMICS CREATED BY CARTOONIST PRAN IS THAT HIS STORIES HAVE CHARACTERS FROM VARIED AGE GROUPS AND SOCIAL STATUS. IN THOSE DAYS THE WORLD OF COMICS WAS MAINLY PREDOMINATED BY MALE CHARACTERS WHEREAS HE CREATED THE CHARACTER OF SHRIMATIJI TO DEPICT THE LIFESTYLE, DREAMS, ASPIRATIONS, FEELINGS AND CHALLENGES FACED BY THE WOMEN BELONGING TO THE MIDDLE-CLASS SOCIETY. SHRIMATIJI ETCHED OUT AN IDENTITY FOR HERSELF BY PRESENTING ALL THESE IN A VERY EMPHATIC MANNER YET MAINTAINING THE SUBTLE HUMOUR FOR THE READERS TO UNDERSTAND AND GET A DEEP INSIGHT.

MRS. SHEELA AKA SHRIMATIJI IS A MIDDLE-CLASS HOUSEWIFE. HER HUSBAND KISHORE WORKS IN AN OFFICE. THE FRIVOLOUS ARGUMENTS BETWEEN THE COUPLE AND THE NAUGHTY ATMOSPHERE CREATED BY THEIR SON SHALU AND THEIR DAUGHTER SHAILLY MAINTAINS THE HAPPY ATMOSPHERE OF THE HOUSE. SHRIMATIJI CAN ALWAYS BE SEEN THINKING AND PLANNING SOMETHING OR THE OTHER. HER TWO FRIENDS GOGI AND RAMI ADD SPICE TO HER DREAM WORLD. THE SOFT-HEARTED SHRIMATIJI IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP GOGI WHO IS TIRED OF HER WEIGHT. WHETHER IT IS THE HUNT OF A BRIDEGROOM OR PROVIDING HER THE RIGHT ADVICE FOR HER CAREER TO MAKE HER INDEPENDENT-SHRIMATIJI DOES EVERYTHING.

THIS TRINITY OF FRIENDS HAS NEVER MISSED ANY SALE OR EXHIBITION TILL DATE. WHENEVER RAMI INFORMS ABOUT A SALE, SHRIMATIJI IS SO EXCITED THAT WITHOUT GIVING A SECOND THOUGHT SHE REACHED THE EXHIBITION CUM SALE OF VARIOUS PARTS OF A MACHINE. SHRIMATIJI'S HUSBAND KISHORE IS SICK AND TIRED OF HER SHOPPING AND KITTY PARTIES. BUT THE ONLY THING THAT HE CAN DO IS LOOK AT THE BILLS WITH HIS EYES OPENED WIDE… HE CANNOT UTTER A WORD. APART FROM THE MAIN CHARACTERS THE SHRIMATIJI SERIES INTRODUCES ALL THOSE CHARACTERS TO THE READERS WHICH COME ACROSS US IN OUR EVERYDAY LIFE. FOR EXAMPLE THE MILKMAN SELLING THE ADULTERATED MILK, THE SLACKER PLUMBER, THE TARDY ELECTRICIAN AND EVEN THE RUDE LANDLORD. SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE HUMOROUS ENTERTAINING INCIDENTS, THESE CHARACTERS DO TEACH A LESSON OF HUMANITY, MORALITY AND BROTHERHOOD WITH IMMENSE EASE.
