What a mess!

I liked the way Mannu approached his brother Abhi. And Abhi's intention was not to hurt but to play a prank. Shivam wants to payback.

Ganga is unable to hold Jagya's attention because he thinks Ganga is trying to protect her son and indirectly holding him responsible for not being strict with Shivam too.

Anandi is seeing children's quarrels but she is not able to see Ganga's helplessness and her point of view.

Both Anandi and Ganga are creating problems for Jagya. Anandi by not recognising the tension and Ganga by not understanding Jagya's point of view.

It is Anandi's nature not to move away from trouble and thinking that she knows how to handle things.

It seems Jagya, Ganga and Anandi are too busy with their respective professional lives to deep dive into the issues involving kids. Mannu knows the problem and tries to counsel Abhi, He should also speak to Shivam in the same way alone.

What Abhi did was a simple prank, he couldn't have imagined that Shivam would run out of the school like that. Anandi was more worried about Shivam not doing his homework than asking him why he left school at all? Isn't that a worrying factor? Especially for Anandi as she has already lost a kid !
Ganga is thinking right, but she feels helpless and can't express her concerns properly to Jagya. Jagya is also trying to do the best he can under given circumstances with his balancing attempts. Strict administrator dadisa is clueless as well. No body is actually talking to the kids.

Then what's going wrong ? Isn't that obvious ?
Anandi needs to take action, She simply can't expect that its a hug and forget type of scenario, and Shivam was talking about punishing Abhi, She is being casual about things concerning Shivam and his welfare. The kid could have been kidnapped or killed. Atleast, they should show Anandi introspecting about this problem.

Its a mess, rightfully quoted @Leaves, but an unnecessary one. Why to complicate pretty straightforward things ! Anandi staying in BH is creating all these problems.

I think Mannu is the only one who seems to understand Abhi's problem.Probably he was the one who spends more time with both Abhi and Shivam.

Creatives always make simple things complicated - to stretch the track. Looks like children in BH are being neglected and nobody is there to talk to them. There seems to lack of emotional connect and to sort things with children. Mannu is proving to be a better guardian than even DS. But then he thinks his responsibility is with Abhi only - he should have counselled Shivam also.

It is nice of Mannu as an older brother to explain things to Abhi in a mature way he helped Abhi realise what he has done and also helped him figure out what his problem is.

Anandi does not seem to think there is any problem in Shivam, and here she is going wrong. If Shivam was talking of getting Abhi punished - Anandi should have explained what Abhi had done (left him in school) was in no way responsible for him (Shivam) getting lost. She should have explained him - that Shivam did something which resulted in grave situation - all the adults were worried and even police was searching for him. (the situation is similar to Gulli's case - nobody told Gulli that what she was doing was wrong - when she was filming Heth Singh's son).

The fact remains that Abhi wilfully left him behind with an intent to trouble him.That doesn't alter the issue whether he got back home without getting lost or got lost and someone found him.

I wonder why Ganga said if Shivam stops poking Abhi,Abhi will also stop poking Shivam. So it is clear that Ganga saw a lot more during these 11 years. To me It was clear that Shivam deliberately provoking Abhi the very same moment he explained to Ganga that Abhi thinks everybody in BH loves him more , yet repeated with such a pleasure that he's Dadisa's favorite. For such a goody its very interesting that he is not satisfied with Abhi's punishment, he wants more. Not to mention that his mother not made it clear what he did wrong, again. Tit for tat?.I wouldn't say so. I really hope this time he will be caught. For his own good.
Otherwise, what kind of person he'll become if he thinks that everything he does is perfect.
And for Abhi's sake too. Because it's not just black and white in this children mess .

Shivam getting more attention does not mean that Abhi is getting scolded. If Abhi is getting scolded due to Shivam - naturally, there is something Shivam is doing. Anandi did not ask Shivam to apologise for eating Abhi's sandwich and Abhi may see this as Shivam not even apologising for what he is doing. One parent is too lenient towards her kid, other parent is too strict towards his kid and the most experienced of all (DS) is oblivious of anything. Net result - atmosphere is not healthy for children.

Mannu brought around Abhi to apologise but I don't think Anandi would force Shivam to apologise.
