Ok. Let's start with the episode. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant script writing and equally brilliant the story lineup. Now this is what is called an Episode. To be very honest yesterday it was tough for me to pen down my analysis but today I want to pen down, with my heart. It's been a year since I am watching IPK and genuinely I am telling you that in this 1 year, there were only 2 episodes which made me look back why I have stuck to this show since the beginning. One is the Fables episode and other is today. Analyzing and cracking a track and connecting loops and emotions were satisfactory but there is nothing exciting when you see the brilliance of screenplay in the most trivial scenes. I remember it took me couple of hours to understand the Fables episode and one scene where Khushi sat on the bed with the "Potli" clicked me as "Grand Mother Bag of Tales". Yesterday only somewhere in Redux, not in the analysis, I explained that human beings are born to look at patterns; it is our prerogative and our habit; it is our nature and this is the reason we are humans. Everywhere we look we watch out for patterns. Today also when I watched the episode I knew the hints were on the face but there was one scene that was stuck like a thorn in my throat and I knew there is much more important in the scene which meets more than the eye. Sometimes when even after watching the episode I take time to figure out the message, I open it with "Working Title" but the moment I figure out the message I edit the title; now this is how I work as you all know me. Today also I did the same thing. I also know this that many of you have thought why I gave the title - "Oracle" and not something else, right??? I am proud today to see that when daily the episode airs so many of you start discussing on the clues and also on the scenes; this I what I call achievement of Redux and this is what I call is knowledge sharing. There is nothing important in this world than exchanging "Food for thoughts". Since childhood I have been listening that "one is known by the company one keeps", and today also I see the same excellence in all of the readers and analysts here. The material and substance in the posts keeps on excelling and I am proud from the bottom of my heart that I am part of this group and also I am known as one of "Redux Girls". When I went to the old thread today morning to post the new link of Redux, then I was going through some posts where some of you were discussing about today's episode; the dialogues, mirror-mirror, snow white, tattoo parlor and the forth coming Big Fat Indian Wedding. I was damn impressed and also so glad to be part of this thread where the immense knowledge sharing happens. One thing that I learnt from my Dad is every person has pros and cons and each and every individual is equipped with immense knowledge; learn the good things from them and apply them in your daily thought process. Knowledge is not just to listen and keep it to oneself; knowledge is to apply what you have learnt; knowledge is to also discuss because every person thinks from distinctive angle. That is how we learn and acquire knowledge. This was the primary reason of Redux and I think we all should be proud today for making it a "LIBRARY". Who will say that entertainment is only for watching??? No, it's not. If it would have been only for watching then today none of you were seen to discuss the episode and try to learn some "Shabdkosh"; am I right Sandhya and Shreya??? Yes, I read that discussion and it gave a beautiful smile on my face. Keep it up is all I can say. Like Aamir Khan said in 3 Idiots ~ "Always run after excellence and never run after success".
Before I get into the details of "Oracle" let me touch on the other parts of the episode very briefly. Because there is a "Special Anniversary Gift" by 4 Lions and Gautam Hegde which if I open now then you all will be NUMB and Thrilled. Yes, I repeat again today, you will be NUMB and Thilled.
Let's start, shall we. Those who have been following my analysis daily know by now the "Number Etymology", "Fables" and the "Tracks" till Shyam's Judgment. Right??? I will touch base on the some of the confirmations today. So, read me here carefully.
Yes, as you all might have suspected by now the confirmation of the following tracks have been delivered today.
1. Social Stigma
2. Wedding
3. 2 attacks on the babies
4. Payal and Aakash rift
5. Snow White / Mirror Mirror
6. Ramayan Track
When NK said - "Jitna mazaak mujhe iss shaadi mein aaya tha utna mazaak mujhe uss shaadi pe nehin aaya, haan" and Maami said to Naani abt Khushi - "woh hum phati saree ke mirror mein bhi dekhe hain, aankh ke neeche dark circles and gaal maan black spots". These two are enough hints for Social Stigma. The Stigma will be triggered by Shyam like NK gifted the wedding gift to Khushi. Yes, the reason behind the wedding and the "6 Months" contract has to come. How it will come needs to be decided by the creative team but this has to happen. Let me tell you an example here; when Adam and Eve disobeyed in the Garden , what did the first thing God did to them??? Yes, he had put clothes on them. Isn't it??? Why??? Because they needed to be covered. Because they needed to be protected and be able to stand against any temptation. What is the law of third gravity??? To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Isn't it??? If a robber has robbed a bank then can he get away with the act??? No, he has to pay for it. The same way, Swami Vivekananda said - "Paapi ko nehin paap ko maaro". Yes, what happened regarding Khushi's wedding it needs to be corrected and always remember this needs to be corrected. When a production house is educating regarding social ethics to all its audience then it is their responsibility to teach the values and morals of life. Yes, the social stigma will come and it will be Arnav who will stand by Khushi's side but the sin that was made needs to be corrected.
After this is resolved we will have the "Big Fat Indian Wedding". Of course and we knew it, right??? There you go a nice confirmation by the creative team. Notice it was asked by Anjali that - "aap ki dost ki shaadi kaise rahi"??? NK said - "Di kya bataoon??? Wohi badi badi moti moti Indian shaadi". Isn't it??? Yesterday's filling water in the "Kalash" by Khushi is confirmed right??? We will have Arnav and Khushi's "Earthly Union".
Next hint was the probable hint of Payal and Aakash's separartion. We have the indication in the "Besan ke laddoo" again. As I said, it crumbles under pressure and needs a binding agent, which is "Ghee" here. Yes, this will happen and business wise we need a parallel track also for them. All the time we cannot have them supporting and acting for the leads but also they need to grow in their characters. Yes, we need the track ahead. I vouch for Payal to be independent here and have her own identity. This is not about the "Class Difference" but having your own identity. Small or big work doesn't matter, what matters is one's identity. I don't believe that you become one entity after marriage, nah. Sorry no offence to anyone, but my belief is one should have his/her own space and all are individual entities. Hence, I will be happy to see Payal as an independent woman and then walk alongside Aakash, shoulder to shoulder instead of sitting in her "Maayka" and waiting for her husband to take her back home. She should create her own identity. The hints can be for "Rapunzel" but I somehow wouldn't want that as IPK being a different genre in storytelling and also we are in the 21st century not in 18th or 19th century. IPK should teach girls and women of all generations to create their own grounds and be an example to others.
The rest of the hints are related to "Oracle" which I will explain now. When Maami and Khushi went back to search the place where Arnav and Khushi were held captive, then Khushi informed Maami that - "wohi video mein jo aadmi Arnavji ke peeth pe haath rakha tha??? Jinke haath mein "Paankh Wala Azagar" gudaa hua hain". Khushi and Maami then decided to search all the tattoo parlors in and around Delhi. But when they were unable to locate any clue then Maami said - "Phati saree humka aisa lagat hain jaise hum samundar maan 2 rupees ka coin khojat hain". WOW. Now is this what you call a HINT and a CONNECTION. As I mentioned above, when I watched the episode these two dialogues were troubling me; this might be a pass over thing for everyone but was it really??? No. Then I thought there is something more than what meets the eyes. Let's break it down and see.
Azagar:- what is it??? Yes, it is "PYTHON". Python is also known as "DRAGON" in Greek and other cultures.
Paankh:- This means "WINGS".
Paankh wale Azagar:- DRAGONFLY. No Pythons have wings but Dragons have.
So, we have the meaning here. But is this really important??? I thought at first then I kept on thinking why then Maami said so??? What is it about Oceans??? I opened up my "Dragonfly Analysis" and started to check what I have mentioned as it as around April 13th I guess. Let's see.
Excerpts from the Dragonfly analysis:-
Dragonfly. When I saw the episode just before analyzing, the one word that came to my mind is "Dragonfly". You know why??? I'll tell you. This is the only insect who is an inhabitant of two realms - Water and Air, but stay close to water. Yes, they start their life with water and then move to the air with maturity but they tend to keep their base with water. People whose characteristics are like dragonfly or represents it as totem generally have very emotional and passionate early years but as they grow older they achieve balance with mental clarity and control. They gain an expression of emotional and mental together. The most important fact of a dragonfly is they can fly backwards when the need arises. Does it ring a bell now??? I knew it will. The story of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon has 3 righteous lead characters who are golden at heart and who have their own process of thinking and who have gone through an extremely emotional early years and time has changed their own matured expressions, they are equal yet they are distinct of each other. Yes, this is the story of Anjali, Khushi and Arnav. This was always the story of them and never of Shyaam. Shyaam is an external factor here; for a moment we will feel that Shyaam has "Devilish purpose" here but at the end it is these 3 who will have each other. Shyaam is one factor who has his own distinct relationship with each of them but he will never be with all the 3 of them in one frame. From the beginning of the series, it was Khushi first whose thought process was triggered by Shyaam till his cover was blown up. Then came Arnav. Right now, Arnav's thought process is triggered by Shyaam, yes it is, notice carefully. When this cover will be blown up, then it will be Anjali whose entire thought process will be triggered by Shyaam and when that cover will be blown up, then it will be these 3 dragonflies who will be together for they will be darting like light, twisting, turning, changing direction, even will walk backwards as the need arises. Yes, for they are associated with water and air; for water is a sign of purity. Air, sign of maturity; for the incidents they have experienced in their early lives have made them matured in their own way and their single handedly dealing with Shyaam will mature them further in their own way but they will always stay close to water as their hearts are always pure even though for a moment they will misunderstand each other due to the devil.
I said that day Arnav, Anjali and Khushi are Dragonflies as they are associated with both water and air. We also know that dragonflies lay "EGGS" in the water. Right??? Then still I was stuck with why Azagar and then Dragonfly. This is not easy at it seems. These two are related somehow. You all know that I have always said do keep in mind the characters and their dialogues and the situations. When a scriptwriting happens or a writer tells a story then there is a vision to that storytelling. It cannot come out of the blue. Never. May be this is a 20 minute episode to 99% of the viewers but for a story teller this cannot be a use and throw episodic business, isn't it??? When I analyze then I always needed to look back refer to the earlier works to look for a pattern; the same way the story teller also needs to do that. Simple logic. Understand this. Now, I know Python is a Dragon here. Then I realized that this Dragon is in the story of "APOLLO". You know why Apollo??? Because medicine and healing is associated with Apollo. Ring a Bell???
Well you all know me literature was never my subject and history a big No No. My home is filled with all business mags but not history books; you ask me about the world even in the middle of the night, I'll tell you but anything regarding the literature, I have to get up and switch on my laptop and dig number of articles to deliver the articles. Well, I got loads of articles about "Apollo and the Dragon" but there were so many versions floating around. I needed a LINK that will connect me to IPK story line. I saw Tant and Purvi online. Now, Tant is into pure and pure Lit and who better than her to guide me with it. The best part was she was not analyzing and so I asked her - "need a help; tell me the story of Apollo". She said about it and asked me which version you want??? I said ' gimme both and then I will decide which to take". She gave me both and I read them all. She asked me what are you looking exactly??? I said - I am looking for a connection between Python and Dragonfly. They are linked. After she left Purvi was there. I gave her one link and told her I am confused with all the material as one article says Python is Good and the other says that Python is Evil. So, gave her "Homer's Version" and told her you read and tell me what you figured just in points. And I continued with my office work to stop thinking about that. Then Purvi messaged me in points and I replied her - ok. But I still had one doubt that I asked both Tant and Purvi, which is - "Did the Python knew why he was guarding the ORACLE which the Mother Earth had ordered him and what is the Oracle"??? Not to my surprise they both replied in opposite directions and they both were correct. I decided then to take a break. I came back to thinking after an hour. Thank you Tant and Purvi for helping me crack the impossible.
Here goes the story:-
Zeus and Leto were to deliver twins (Arthemis and Apollo) and Zeus's another wife Goddess Hera sent the Python to not let Leto deliver in any land where ever the sun shone. Thus when Apollo the infant was grown he pursued the python, making his way straight for Mount Parnassus where the serpent dwelled, and chased it to the oracle of Gaia at Delphi; there he dared to penetrate the sacred precinct and kill him with his arrows beside the rock cleft where the priestess sat on his tripod. Robert Graves, who habitually read into primitive myths a retelling of archaic political and social turmoil, saw in this the capturing by Hellenes of a pre-Hellenic shrine. "To placate local opinion at Delphi," he wrote in The Greek Myths.
Another version says that PYTHON was a Dragon which Gaia (Mother Earth) appointed to guard the oracle at Delphi. Then Apollo left his twin sister Arthemis and laid claim to the shrine, he slew the dragon with his arrows. The oracle and festival of the god were then named Pytho and Pythian from the rotting (pyth) corpse of the beast. According to some, Apollo slew the monster to avenge his mother Leto, who had been pursued relentlessly by the dragon during her long pregnancy.
Now, in both these versions it says that there is a "Oracle" is given out by the "Priestess". I am taking both the versions here. In both the versions the mother and father of Apollo are from different status like Anjali and Shyam. One version is where the Python protects the Oracle and another version is where the Python chases Leto so that she cannot deliver the babies and later on it will be the Apollo who kills the Python to take avenges. Now, I want you to refer to many episode here and also my yesterday's analysis. Remember what I explained Maami yesterday??? Yes, yes, I said - Maami is the 7th Angel and I said she is the one who always uttered the number 24.
Number 24:- This is related to Priesthood and also it is the ultimate acceptance in the sanctuary. Here in IPK the Sanctuary is RM. Hence to enter into the sanctuary one needs the acceptance of the 7th Angel.
So, what is "Shrine" here??? I know. I know. It is the Temple or rather Sanctuary. She is the "PRIESTESS" and didn't I say that it will be her who will blow the "TRUMPET".
Who is the "Python" here??? Yes, it is non-other than "Shyam Manohar Jha". He is the protector as well as the troublemaker of the Oracle. Yes, this is the story. Now what did Maami say??? She said - "Phati saree humka aisa lagat hain jaise hum samundar maan 2 rupees ka coin khojat hain". Now what did Khushi said in the Fables episode??? She said - "Alookumar and Poori Kumari". What did NK say today at the lounge??? He said - "Main Maama banne wala hoon ya Maami"??? What have been saying along about the attacks on the baby??? I always said and I proved yesterday that there will be 2 attacks on the baby right??? There were hints as I said in 10 potatoes, 10 tomatoes, 12 onions; remember??? What happened in the episode today??? First, it was NK who put a fake knife into Maami's stomach infront of Khushi, right??? And later on, it was the hint of Snow White/ Mirror - Mirror. Isn't it??? Yes, yes. You all are nodding your head isn't it???
The "ORACLE" is released by the Priestess today - "Samundar mein 2 rupees coin". What is rupee?? It's money and Royal and 2 is Double portion. Yes, Maami released the Oracle that "Anjali is going to deliver TWINS".
Remember the David-Solomon story that I laid infront of you all??? Didn't Anjali confirmed that by saying - "Aaj kal toh Maamiji aur Khushiji ka bond kaafi strong hain". Of course, Khushi is the Mother Figure to the babies; didn't I say that she will be the mother of Solomon??? Oops, it is "Luv-Khush". Ramayan Track indeed.
Now let me take you to the attacks that were proven today. I will come to dragonfly later on. Now, Did you all remember the episode where Shyam's new house details came up and in order to stay at RM he tricked to keep Anjali at the mansion only. In that episode we saw that he protected the baby in the womb, remember??? Yes, that was he protecting the "Oracle". Then lets come to the indications where he will attack the babies; and there were 2 attacks.
One, in the wedding as I explained earlier and
Second, it will be at RM, the snow white part.
Check the above picture where the 2 addresses were shown. I pasted for your reference. The first one says, Laxmi Nagar and the H.NO. is 59 (or 57). Right??? If you want then check the analysis "Will o Wisp" where I mentioned that the wedding will be at Teej and also that day will be Arnav's Father's Birthday. Yes, that is why Buaji mentioned about "Phupaji" again. Last was during the suicide track. So, the first attack as done by NK but will be failure. The second address was, at "Shahdara", right??? It's means Shahi darbar, Palace, Kingdom. Where is that??? "Raizada Mansion". And the numbers were 40 and 2. It said- H.No. 40 and Bldg no. 2.Why??? Why??? Why??? Isn't this Brilliant??? Yes, I know. Attack on the 2nd baby or second attack. Always I said - Rs.40,000 by Anjali, right??? Yes, this is the Snow White attack and this is when Anjali will allow the "Trial and Probation" for Shyam Manohar Jha. At this time Anjali will learn the truth of Shyam and she will give him the trial period. But here is where the Ramayan track for the "Dragonflies" will start. Lastly, the Ramayan track where the Python will be killed or send to Jail as hinted by Maami today in the kidnappers place and it will be by Anjali, the Mother.
Notice here Maami said - "Samundar mein 2 rupees coin". Didn't Arnav give 2 silver coins to Khushi??? Didn't Aakash said - "once there was a princess who had a silver coin". Didn't Maami bring gold for Arnav's ransom payment??? You know why??? Because Apollo's Bow was made of Silver and arrows were made of Gold. Then when Khushi and Maami declared to visit the SPA, NK said - "Main bhi aaunga, foot massage ki mujhe bahut zaroorat hain". Yes, after the "Snow White" track and Shyam's revelation he will beg for "Forgiveness" from Anjali and she will refuse him like Maami and Khushi did. Exactly. This is when the 3 Dragonflies will leave for Seesh Mahal and this is the time for "Vanvaas"; here cometh Mary Elizabeth track which will start till the delivery and they will move to their roots, Lukhnow, just like the Dragonflies go in the water to lay their eggs. This is why "Samundar mein 2 Rupees coin dhoond ne ke jaisa" said by the 7th Angel, a.k.a. Priestess.
This is the "Oracle" by the Priestess that the "Royal Twins" will be delivered by Anjali and the wonderful Anniversary Gift by 4 Lions to us. Thank you Gautam.
