There are times when I abhor the word 'symbolism.' Mainly because it is so OVERUSED and exhausted in my field of study.

But then comes a once-in-a-lifetime something like IPKKND, where Symbolism takes on a new avatar, and we're all left gobsmacked by the hidden meaningz.

And if foreshadowing counts for anything, IPK had a PhD in that (not always intentionally).

Like the time Anjali told Koosie to put her best foot...er... right foot forward when entering their house for the first time.

Like the time Arnav refused to call Garima 'Amma.'

Like the time that pink Chunari draped itself on Koosie's head.

Like the time Arnauji and Koosie stepped through seven circles of diyas together (LOL Expel, I think they did that in Scandalous too).

Like the time Arnav bled all over Khushi's forehead (Eww... ek baar phir).

Like the time Khushi ki mehndi mein bhi 'A' thi.

Like the time Arnav said "Kya pata, main kal rahoon ya na rahoon?"

OH OH OH

My personal favourite. Shyam babuwa and his Salman Khan bracelet. He was trying to show Koosie that he could be her symbolic Salman Khan, but Koosie was too obtuse to see it. Or maybe she was dreaming about towel dances. The point is that, that cheap looking plastic turquoise bracelet symbolized that all that is blue stone and silver is not Salman Khan.

Res. Does this mean no "mature" dickodings? I'm very sad. I always only see mature and +957 and above type symbolism.

Ok. So, I love lists. lists make me happy. Why? Just.Because. (It also could be that I'm slightly OCD. Lists, you see, should always end in even numbers or multiples of 5.)

Har sawaal ka jawaab dena necessary nahin hai, samjhe?

That being said, here is my list of items that were never ever dickoded. Ever. I swear on Khushi's jalebis (And for all of you with dirty minds, I mean the jalebis that you eat. But of course that is what you thought, so why this long sentence in a bracket? Again, just because. How many times do I have to say that?) So, let's start ya?

1. Khushi's tents. A.K.A. the misshapen and horribly fugly clothes she wore. I know that people cringed and wondered why Mrs ASR was dressed like a pokemon (not jigglypuff. I lowe jigglypuff). BUT, there was a reason. The clothes without any shape actually meant that shapelessness characterized the story. Don't believe me?

What is the most common element around us that does not have any shape?

Water.

What does water do?

It flows. Like the story. See how it flowed so beautifully and seamlessly from one track to the other? I mean from adopting Arav to wanting to be Mrs India the next day. Most logical step. Because who cares about two people who have trust issues trying to sort out their problems ya?


2. Rabba Vey. Our hearts melted like two rupee kulfis every time we heard that. Arnav staring into Khushi's eyes. She staring into his. Such beauty. So much love conveyed and no words spoken. It's what love stories are made of.
THIS IS WHAT THEY WANTED YOU TO BELIEVE.
I know you want the truth. But, you can't handle the truth dammit.

Sigh. ok. The truth is, if you read into the Rabba Veys you will realise that TRPs were low friends, so it was difficult for the show to get money. Their equipment was old. The cameras had a glitch. They would get stuck from time to time. These cameras were attached to the recording system. That is why our favourite leads were so still and rabba vey played. The love was an illusion.

How do I know all of this. I was a film student. I have been trained to notice these things.


3. Mami ji's make up. She didn't make her face a colouring book on purpose. You know what has many colours?

A rainbow.

You know what you find at the end of a rainbow?

A pot of gold.

You know who you find near pots of gold?

Leprechauns.
And they are imaginary. You think they exist. But the truth is that they don't.

Who on the show existed but didn't really exist?

Aman and Mama ji. That's right friends, THEY WERE ONE AND THE SAME. This is why we never saw mama ji towards the end, because he was Aman and had too much of work and we never saw Aman because he was mama ji. Such a complicated show. So many hidden meaningz.


I am stopping this list here. I know I said even numbers and multiples of 5. But that is also having the hidden meanings. It has to be dickoded.

Tis all friends.
