Hi Doodleberry…I'm Trina. First of all can I say you guys are so amazing with your analysis👏 Every time I watch an episode I can't wait to come to the forum to read REDUX. As you have already pointed out so many times, for some reason their execution of the storyline is just pathetic and we need brains like yours to decipher them for ignorant minions like me.

Anyways I'm from Bangladesh but live in Sydney and as soon as you said 'Thakurmar Jhuli', my ears pricked up. For the life of me I could never have connected the storyline to Fables, but that's why you are brilliant. My dida used to tell me all these stories so they are sort of etched in my memory for lifetime😊 I can help you with 'The Curse of the Needle Story' which is Kakonmala Kanchonmala in Bangla.

The story is as follows, there were a prince and a shepherd who were best friends. Prince promised that when he becomes king he will make shepherd his minister/ lieutenant (montri). Then the prince became king and married Kanchonmala, but he did not remember his friend and broke his promise. One day the shepherd came to see the king and queen but the doorman did not even let him in so he was heartbroken and went away. The next morning the king woke up and he had thousands of needles all over his body. He couldn't open his eyes; even his hair was full of needles!!! King couldn't talk, eat or sleep and he realized that it is because of his broken promise. But he couldn't talk so he couldn't express himself. The kingdom started going downhill, the queen was managing somehow. One day the queen went take a bath in the river where a female asked if she wanted a servant. Queen said if you can get rid the king's needles then I will take you. The female agreed and the queen bought her with one of her bangles, thus the name Kakonmala I guess for the servant. Then the servant tricked her and took all her clothes and jewelry so Kakonmala became queen and Kachonmala the queen became her servant. The king could not know anything as he could not see. But there was no one to take care of him anymore. One day the queen went to wash clothes near the river and saw a man sitting there with a lot of threads and he wanted a lot of needles. The queen talked to the guy and said I can give you lots of needles but you have to pluck them out. The guy got up with his bundle of threads. On the way to the palace the queen told the man her sad story. The man listened very quietly and only said OK. Back in the palace there was a festival of cakes (pithas) and both the fake and real queens (Kakonmala and Kanchonmala) went to make them. Kanchonmala the real queen made beautiful cakes whereas the fake queen could not make them properly and everyone realized that she is a fake queen. But the fake queen Kakonmala got really angry and called for the headsman. The headsman caught the real queen and the guys with the threads. But that guy opened his bundles and asked the threads 'threads whom do you belong to?' The threads replied 'whoever has got the bundle'. The he asked the threads to tie up the Headsman and the threads tied up the Headsman. Then he asked the threads to find the needles on the king and all the threads went and attached to all the needles on the King. Then the threads asked where should they go and the man told them to go to the fake queens eyes and mouth. So the fake queen's eyes and mouth got stitched up. The king opened his eyes and recognized the thread man as his long lost shepherd friend. The king cried and apologized to his friend and made him his lieutenant. The fake queen Kakonmala died from her injuries. And the King, queen and the friend lived happily ever after.

Hope it helps. Now you can use that wonderful brain of yours and decipher it for us😊 I remember the Brahmon Brahmoni story as well but don't think its relevant here. Pretty sure there is no Ringing Bell story in Thakurmar Jhuli. Let me know if you need any of the other stories.

Loved your analysis Doodle, Khushi is the one who loves or I should say believe in fairy tales and Arnav always tells her to come out of them...

Anna It is definitely hard to justify Khushi's decision on taking her own life...Arnav seemed to fit like a native in Gupta Household...Nice analysis.

Vimmiya Lack of communication and trust has brought upon this situation...I agree with what you have said...Ms. B's plots were too far fetched... In total loved your analysis!

Iritz the selfless was at its best yesterday in my eyes when Khushi was writing her will...

Aerowana I think you are right Panchtantra will have most of the stories...or Jatak Kathayein...

Nia Apt justification on Khushi's state of mind! No base and trust causing the delusion...

Arhimaniac Nice story on Coyote and Fawn, thanks Arhimaniac!😊

Sunshine99 outreach to all can't be achieved with complex layering...you are right in saying that the clarity is lacking...somehow it is hard for me to visualize that the intensity will be there...but then why jump to conclusions... Thanks!😊

Thanks Jhalak & Ria!😊
