In a profound sense every man has two halves to his being; he is not one person so much as two persons trying to act in unison. I believe that in the heart of each human being there is something which I can only describe as a "child of darkness" who is equal and complementary to the more obvious "child of light." ~Laurens van der Post

Mallik and Raizada. Two very rich and elite families. Two families which have high respect and dignity. Two families who have bonds very deep and close. But what makes them so different?

The interpretation of love and righteousness. The interpretation of the value of truth, honesty and integrity. The differentiation between what's right and what's wrong.

Two matriarchs. Devyani Raizada and Subhadra Mallik. Both very different, in every way, both very close to one another.

What is it that makes them so different? What is there about them that makes everyone respect and honour them?

Devyani Raizada is an honest woman. She is just, brave, courageous with a heart of pure, solid gold. She says what's on her mind, no matter how bitter. But she doesn't say it to hurt people. She says it to nurture her words recipient and to make them see the wrongness of their actions. She loves and adores everyone as long as they are worthy of her love and treats everyone equally. She knows about the fine line between what's right and what's easy. And she always chooses what's right. Yes, she's not always correct. But she learns and moves forward. If there is one thing life's taught her, it's that life gives you chances and you have to make the best of them.

Subadhra Mallik is a woman of stern morals. She has a rigid sense of what's right and what's wrong. She has a very terrible temper and does not back down in the event of a fight. She also says what's on her mind, no matter how bitter. But she says it to hurt, to maim. Her ego precedes her. She is not respected. She is feared. And she has no problems with that. The only people who acknowledge her good, yet tainted heart are those who know her, i.e. her grandchildren and her friend. But you judge a person by how they treat their inferiors. And SubhadraMallik has yet to learn life's lessons.

They say genes skip generations. Maybe that's why grandparents find their grandchildren so likeable. ~Joan McIntosh

These two women have lost almost everything fourteen years ago. They only thing they had left was their grandchildren, Anjali and Arnav. But only one had the courage to face life and attempt to make their futures as different as possible from their past.

We as children become like our parents and grandparents or anyone elder to us. Usually, we become like elders we love and respect. It was no different for Anjali and Arnav.

When the Mallik heir and his wife died, Anjali was 19/20 and Arnav was 14. Anjali had already crossed the age where your personality is fully developed, while Arnav had merely began to develop. I had wrote this before, Anjali and Arnav have their grandmothers qualities.

Anjali became like Subhadra Mallik with Devyani Raizadas' exterior.
Arnav became like Devyani Raizada with Subhadra Mallik's exterior.

Anjali refuses to let go of the past. When tragedy strikes, she retreats to a corner and refuses to lick her wounds. She denies the existence of the truth and is stubborn. She believes what she wants to and the reality gets warped and distorted in her mind. But. Like Devyani Raizada she doesn't hold grudges. She truly does want the happiness of everyone around her.

Arnav too holds on to the past. Like Subhadra Mallik, he approaches the world with anger, contempt, pride and ego. He can make moves to destroy people and like her, he is often successful. He holds grudges and does not forget neither a curse nor a blessing.But. Like Devyani Raizada he chooses to do what's right. He faces life head-on and does not back down. He knows he is not always correct, but like Devyani Raizada, he knows that when life gives you a second chance, it's best to take it.

You may wonder why I am bringing this up.

In today's episode, I was disturbed by Anjali. Today, she protected Shyam from Arnav. In a blatant way. She turned off the light. There is no turning back for Anjali. She prevented Arnavfrom meeting Shyam and Dadi from Garima.

All three people are connected to the past. All three know truths that will tear everything Devyani and Arnav Singh Raizada have built over the last fourteen years. And they can do that in the blink of an eye.

But Subhadra Mallik is in the centre of it all. It is because of her that her children went astray and ruined everyone else's lives. It is because of her that three innocent children lost everything in the blink of an eye and are still paying the price of sins they didn't commit.

If nothing is going well, call your grandmother. ~Italian Proverb

Anjali told her "husband" that her grandmother was the one who could fix everything. And Shyam took that opportunity and brought Subhadra Mallik. But what's ironic is that bringingSubhadra Mallik will cause pain to Anjali. She is the reason why Anjali couldn't get married. She is the reason why Anjali lost everything in the past and the reason why Anjali will lose everything in the future once more. And it because of Anjali's insistence on having Shyam back that will lead to the light being taken away from everyone, in every way. Be it in the form of social stigma, relationships ruined etc.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. ~Author Unknown

Today's episode was about Arnav and Khushi. It was about how everyone was enclosing Arnav and Khushi into the centre and dance around them in joy and glee. In Payash's wedding, they had fun. But they didn't have as fun as they are in Arnav and Khushi's. Everyone wanted Arnav and Khushi to dance around with them.

It is because everyone loves Bhai and Bhabhi.

But do know why Anjali and Shyam are constantly being shown throughout the wedding? Because they are a threat to Arnav and Khushi's happily ever after. So long as Anjali trusts Shyam,Arnav and Khushi cannot live in peace. When the lights went off, Arnav rushed to Anjali and only after knowing she was safe did he call out for Khushi. Interesting scene that.

Arnav goes to the woman who caused the blackout and then calls his love to him. While Akash goes to fix the problems. Interesting scene! But will not delve too deeply into this one or its implications.

But will say this once more, Arnav and Anjali rift is imminent. Today, Anjali brushed aside Arnav's love and care for Shyam's deceit. By the time she realises the depth of her mistake, it'll be too late. By that time she'll have no one but herself and she will learn to stand on her feet. Which is a good thing.

Anjali took advantage of her family's care for her and she will pay dearly for this.

I like her because she smiles at me and means it. ~Anonymous

Why does Arnav love Khushi's smile? What is it about her smile that makes it so different from everyone else's?

It is because everyone else smile "at" Arnav. Khushi smiles for and because of him. It is a smile that is free of any expectations from him. She doesn't want anything apart from his honesty and his happiness. And the little expectations that she is developing are the wants Arnav wants her to have of and from him.

Today, Khushi for the first time asked something of him without any facade. How could he have denied her? I think sly Bitwa knew he would be dragged off to dance if he hovered close enough 😆. And then the Dori sequence ☺️

Another 360.

On Payash's Haldi, Arnav pulled Khushi's hair to cover her back. He was angry that another man was looking at her with lust-filled eyes (exaggeration but you know what I mean). He was angry at her for not being careful and she misunderstood his intentions. He was hurt by her thinking so little of him and in his hurt and anger he told her she needs to be careful of what's happening around her.

Today, he noticed her dori was loose. He was worried and he simply called her aside. She goes and he ties her dori. No anger, no irritation, no words at all. He knows that she trusts him and understands him. And she does. She smiles and he smiles.

That smile was beautiful because it is a smile that said they are happy and content with who they love and that their love is strong and secure. It the process of tying the dori, her henna smudges on his hand. Her love and influence on him. And he wants that from her.

The Dori scene screamed to me, Arnav will always protect her, whether she knows it or not and she will understand and let him and support him.

I loved how Arnav asked "Really?" when Khushi told him to let her go. He was directly challenging her desire for him. The reason he doesn't touch her properly is because he's trying to awaken the "hidden desires" (foreplay). He doesn't want to scare her while trying to prepare her for what's inevitable. And that is my justification of why he wasn't touching her fully. And he had henna on his hands.

A strange thing. Shyam was playing the dhol and everyone danced. Apart from Anjali and Dadi who danced to his tunes (figuratively). Irony!

And Haramzadey... the only thing left on your list was chappal chor ... You are simply amazing...

Another thing I noticed was after every rasam, Arnav and Khushi have a private moment together. And each time, they promise to have and to hold... for better or worse... in sickness and health...



Now for my interpretation of "Tectonic Plates". Tectonic plates are floating on the mantle. Due to convection currents they move. And in the process one plates pushes against the other and one gets pushed down and the plate melts into the mantle. When the plates push against one another, either a volcano forms or an earthquake occurs. (I take Geography as an option which I need to retake 😆)

I think of the Tectonic Plates as feelings. The characters all experience a multitude of feelings and emotions. Just when they decide to confront those feelings, fate puts them on a different. And the ripples of that action cause harm for everyone they love. Their determination to do what's right shakes and life becomes difficult. But life doesn't end. The circle doesn't have any ending and they trapped in the Chakravyuha.

But this is my interpretation of it.

Things to point out:

NK Bitwa! I love you! 🤗 I loved how when HP brought the candle and he clung to Buaji and when he realises it, he jumps back 🤣 Buaji and NK are officially my second favourite couple!

Loved Nani and Buaji dancing together!

Loved Nani and Payal dancing together!

Felt relieved when Garima makes her escape! 👍🏼

Loved Dadi's "what the" look!

Loved Arnav's dancing! Poor bloke so damn awkward which made it look real. I know what it's like to have two left feet to Bitwa I've got your back! 👍🏼

Loved Bitwa and Titaliya's flirting and Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan!

Loved the episode and how everyone was glowing! And now a gift and a piece of advice for Bitwa! Dear all the best! 👍🏼

The reason for both marriages will be love...but love comes in many forms...one of these is the need to be never apart from the one you love...which is the reason why he married her the first time as he couldn't let her go with another man..another face of love is to protect the one you love from everyone else...which might be reason this time...or who knows he might just marry her again because he cannot stand the thought of not having her near him like the first time...
