"Once upon a time ..."; this is how we start a story. Isn't it??? Well not always, but most of the time. Today also we heard a story. Once there was a woman and who had one son and a daughter. She got her son married and the DIL snatched him from her and took him away. On the other hand, she had a daughter who lives in Mumbai and the woman is worried for her marriage. She only has one niece who sometimes visits her though her husband doesn't allow much. Her Son-in-Law is not a very good human being. This is the story of a very sad and a lonely woman.

When the story of Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon started then we began to watch another story. Once upon a time there was a Prince and he was conducting a fashion show but destiny brought a girl who with no fault of hers has sabotaged this fashion show leaving the prince agitated. One statement of hers has changed her life completely. That statement was  - "Aap ki didi ke bare mein koi aisa bole toh aap kya bolenge??? Boliye, hain koi jawaab aap ke paas, badtameezi ki bhi hadh hoti hain". The prince gave her "Jawaab" and that was by breaking her "Dignity" in the form of "PEARLS".  He "Scattered" her life in the form of answer which ended today when the "6 Months" wedding contract have come to an end. Yes, the story which started on June last year has finally come to an END.

Then we have another story. There was once a prince and he married a simple commoner, an innocent girl just to save his sister's child. He married her with a condition and only for a brief time till he gets his sister out of danger and then he will throw the girl and all her memories out of his life. This was his initial plan but while living a life and sharing a life with her, he fell in love and when the time came for the girl to return to her land she scattered her "Totem", her "CHANA", and both the prince and his "not so legally" wedded wife bend down and picked up the pieces to clear up the mess. The mess that was created long long time ago.

The actual story starts now. The prince had no idea that even though he scattered her life a year back in actuality it is "SHE" who had scattered all their lives a long long time ago. Yes, all the 3 above stories are interlinked and I guess finally you all have understood the link in between, isn't it??? Shall we start???

Once there was a woman who had a niece, not blood related but she was her only niece. Her Niece was married to an affluent family, the Maliks. Her Niece's husband was not a very good person who always have been an obstacle for her to visit her "Buaji".Yes, the niece is non-other than Arnav and Anjali's Mom. Her Buaji have a son and a daughter. We don't know the daughter's name yet but her son's name is "Shyam", at least we know THIS name. The daughter's age will be around 20 years, then. One fateful night when the niece and her family went to visit 2 temples they were bound to take a "U-turn" because of an accident. An accident which scattered everyone's lives that night. The accident happened with the collision of ASR's Dad's vehicle and Khushi's parents' vehicle. Yes, the exact same way when Khushi and ASR collided in the bedroom in Monday's episode and the "Chana" fell down from Khushi's hand and scattered the room all over. We saw both ASR and Khushi bend down to pick up the pieces but could they do the same, that night??? No they couldn't and everything and everyone involved that night, all of their lives took a U-turn and scattered. When the niece and her family returned home that fateful night they found her husband with another woman and that woman was non-other than her "Buaji's daughter". Shattered she was that night as she never knew what exactly was happening and how exactly that happened. The man who never used to like her visit her Buaji suddenly is with the daughter of that family and that too romantically involved??? How in the world this can happen??? Yes, she was shattered and that night even the "EXTRA", the "other woman" was also shattered. How can she open her mouth than she married this man in a Temple and they literally had a "Secret" (Statutory Warning) wedding??? But how can she open her mouth??? Temple wedding is not termed as "Statutory" wedding but it's needed to be legalized. In our country we cannot be involved in "Polygamy" and hence, she had to keep quiet. That fateful night she decided she will leave "Seesh Mahal" and her "Di", Mother of Arnav and Anjali, asked about Buaji's health but never allowed her "Saut", sister, to come near her. But the decision needed to be made. So, Naani ordered that  - "Chote aap ko chod denge". Yes, it was declared that ASR's Dad have to leave this "Extra" woman, Shyam's Sister. With this one decision his heart will be broken ("Dil toot jayega") and also Shyam's anger will see explosion ("Dil phut jayega). But it was decided. The responsibility was given to Maama ji [Aakash] to drop off the "Extra" [Extra Ticket] woman in Mumbai. She was given a "Statutory Warning" not to even come back and if there is any "baby" her "Ankhon ke Taara" in her womb then she should abort the baby [Maami's Stationary Warning] and drop it in the Sea. Maami's "Samundar mein 2 rupee coin", anyone remember??? In some parts it's been followed that when a baby is still born or dies then they float the baby to the belly of the ocean. Maami's statement was "Aesthetic" and hence it meant that Shyam's sister was instructed to stay away from this family and also there shouldn't be any baby since it would be illegal. Hence, they sent her back to Mumbai with a "Warning". Maamiji instructed - "maternity home se wapas aane ki kono zaroorat naahin". Did this story end here??? No because it's had just started.

The "Extra" woman went to the hospital but Doctor "nehin mili" [Doctor wasn't there] and playing [Hide and Seek] with the Doctor. Shyam came to know about the happenings at "Seesh Mahal". He rushed to Mumbai to be with his sister but then he figured out that his sister wanted to kill the baby in the womb just like years after Anjali tried to do the same in the hospital and Arnav saved her. Didn't I say earlier that it was also Shyam and his sister years back??? Yes, it was. That day just like Arnav now, Shyam promised to be with the baby and with her by her side always, no matter what. That moment a "Brother" sworn in to "Destroy" the family of the "Maliks" now the "Raizadas" for what they did to his sister, by hook or by crook. After 12 years later his sister is still now in Mumbai and 32 years old, still unmarried in the eyes of the "Law".

In another chapter, we have Arnav and Anjali's Dad calling up their Mom and hence we have the "Blank Calls" in today's episode when Naani was with 2 "Pickle Jars" with Maami by her side taking care of the kids. Even after 12 years we have the same situation where Naani and Maami still taking care of Arnav and Anjali. Aakash said to Payal on Monday episode to not repeat the same mistake again as Maama wanted Maamiji to do the same years back which Maamiji very nicely maintaining till date.

After many years we are seeing Shyam returning to his Di and he was trying hard to convince that no one, absolutely no one will come in between this brother-sister duo. His sister complained just as Anjali did on Monday's episode - "Chote, tumhari shaadi ho gayi hain, ab tumhari alag ek duniya hain". But Shyam reassured her with - "Trust me Di, hum dono ke beech koi bhi nehin aa sakta". He cited the reason on why he married Anjali and that is because of his sister's baby and to provide her and her baby "Justice". He never married Anjali out of Love but after he started living life with her he fell in love with her slowly or is it Khushi for Shyam??? Remember Shyam's - Main Rani Sahiba ko bhi nehin chodhunga aur Khushiji se bhi shaadi karunga". We have wait and watch. Yes, in that scene it was Shyam who at the end of the conversation declared ' "I love you Di" and this is the reason Arnav's voice was redubbed to signify ASR representing both Shyam and himself. ASR was in love with Khushi when he married but he didn't marry her out of love whereas Shyam marrying Anjali was not out of love but a well calculated plan. Shyam and Anjali had a very grandeur wedding but his staying in his "In-laws" place was a part of his revenge.

Here cometh today's story. Buaji's Son's wedding was in a grand event but his wife snatched her son away from her. The wife is non-other than Anjali and Buaji's son is non-other than Shyam. Khushi is not the "blood related" Niece but she is the foster child here and hence the same way ASR and Anjali's Mom was not the "blood related" Niece of Shyam's Mom.

4 Years later we see the beginning of the same story - "Repeat Telecast" BUT with a Twist.Now the brother is Arnav and not Shyam. In another fateful night Khushi's sister Payal's wedding was cancelled because of the prince - Arnav Singh Raizada and he scattered Khushi's life in every possible manner with no fault of Khushi's just like his Dad might have scattered the life of another "Extra" woman 12 years back. Unknowingly Arnav also walked the same path as his Dad but since his intentions were good so he will be pardoned by Khushi and all but will he not pay for his deeds??? Yes, he have to the same way Khushi also have to pay for certain occurrences that even she is not aware of being responsible for. Yeah, knowingly or unknowingly now the time have started for these two pious people to clear up the mess they have created long time back. But like in statistics we first solve the problem within brackets and then touch the bigger problem or rather the origin of the problem. First Arnav have to pick up and clear the "Scattered Pearls" and then both Khushi and Arnav will have to clear the "Scattered Chanas".

The 6 months contract is over and Khushi returned to her "Maternity Home". She knew she was leaving for ever and destiny made her realize that she accepted ASR as her husband when ASR said - "Ghutno mein aane ki kya zaroorat thi, tum aise hi mujhe apna pati maan leti". Like every wife she too realized to take blessings from her husband before leaving and this scene was very important. Yeah, this scene was important for future episode because of the scattered chana but also important because of the "Realization" of Khushi on accepting Arnav as her husband. Another scene I liked was the dialogue of NK and Naani on Monday when Naani ji said - "Chote aap ko chod denge" and NK's - "Dil phut jayega and dil toot jayega". Well that entire scene was a replica of the past as I said but it also was about the future. The moment Arnav will learn the actual reason Khushi returned to Buaji's place and the contract will be revealed, the explosion will happen as indicated by NK, Arnav will ask for Khushi's proposal for Wedding. Remember Khushi's - "Laad Governor VOTE maangne aaye the"??? This scene was clubbed with the "Chawaal" by Khushi. This scene I loved because it was an impromptu by Khushi to ask Buaji about the chawaal simultaneously when she opened the door, it was her "Groom" on the door. Yes, in many rituals, during bidaai of a daughter of the house they throw away "Rice(Chawaal)" to her Parents' home as a payment of all the debts till date that was used on her upbringing. This was confirmed with Arnav's - "Biwi ho tum meri, haq banta hain tumahara, mujhpe". The wedding is happening and it's confirmed and the end of the story of "Scattered Pearls".

Once the story of scattered pearls will be over we will enter, rather Arnav and Khushi will enter the story of "Scattered Chanas". Yes, the story where it all began and how everything that happened was just because of Khushi's "Little Finger". Interesting, isn't it???

Last week we had Arnav meeting the "Kumars" at Agra after 3 Months and Khushi refused to visit "Taj Mahal". On Tuesday this week we have Khushi knowing the rent of Buaji's house is "Rs. 24,000" for the "Past" 3 months. Notice the difference in the statements. Arnav talked about "Future" meeting and Khushi learnt about "Past" 3 months. Ring a Bell??? I know it rings.

Long time I didn't talk about number etymology. Here goes:-

The number 24, then, which signifies priesthood, cannot be understood apart from the context of a new beginning (8) of spiritual rebirth and Love as the foundation of their character.

Number 3 we all know signifies to be lifted up. Pride is its negative side; being glorified or elevated to a position of authority is its positive side.

The number 3 is the number of divine fullness, completeness, or perfection. Whereas it takes two lines to fix a position by an x-y axis, it takes three to give shape because the law establishes truth on the basis of two or three witnesses, the number three may be considered to be a complete witness. Two witnesses are enough to establish truth, but three brings completeness, clarity, and shape to it.

Hence when Khushi learnt the rent was 24000 for 3 months which also indicates that 8000 for 1 month. That means Khushi and Arnav will learn their "Past" and we will start to see a "New Beginning" and it will be both Arnav and Khushi who will clear the mess this time, like in the scattered chana episode where the reason though was Khushi but they both bent down and cleared it. 

Not only Khushi came to her "Ghutno mein" but even we saw ASR came down to his "Ghutno mein" and they both cleared it up. The "Past" is coming soon and then the "Future" will be clearing up the mess as I mentioned in the earlier analysis about the "Agra Meeting" which indicated the solution. The proof of Arnav and Khushi both clearing up the mess came while Arnav paid the entire "Rent" in today's episode.

The "Scattered Chana " story again started with the "Repeat Telecast" of Shyam giving blank calls like ASR's father did years back and Naani and Maami taking care of 2 kids then and now.

Let's visit the ORIGIN of this story.
