Yati's creations :TOOTATA TARA(CHAPTER 7(Page 13)) - Page 5

Suddenly she realizes that she has reached at the stairs of her way to the classroom. She looks around. She notices that a group of students sitting on the stairs is looking at her and also discussing something about her. One boy who is sitting in middle of that group, seems to be the captain of that group. He was continuously looking at Raaga. She leans down her eyes.

Raaga says to herself," Ye sab mujhe aise kyo dekh rahe hai, lagata ye seniors hai. Kahi meri ragging toh nahi lene waale hai ye sab. Aur …aur who ladka mujhe iss tarah se kyo ghoor raha hai."

Somehow She manages to collect herself and passes by that group. Raaga takes a deep breath, she is relieved. Just then she hears a voice, "Excuse me". She turns, a girls from that group says," Yaha aana zara." Raaga gets apprehensive. She walks to the group. When she reaches at the group, one of the girls asks "fresher". Raaga nods her head.

A boy who seems to be the leader of that group, figures out Raaga's nervousness. He says, " your name?" Raaga replies in a feeble voice ,"Raaga".

That boy comes near to Raaga and brings his face near to her face and again asks," Agar aap thodi oochi awaz main apna naam batayegi ,toh hum jaise normal logo ko bhi sunai de jayega." Everyone starts laughing. Raaga again tells her name.

That boy says, " Guys, congtaz me, mujhe inka naam pata chal gaya, Raaga…" Raaga looks at that boy in a skewed manner. He also looks at Raaga's face and senses her nervousness.

He revolves around Raaga and says," Toh Ms. Raaga , app darr kyo rahi hai, apko lagata hai ke humne apko ragging ke liye yaha bulaya hai, toh aisa bilkul nahi hai, apko pata hona chahiye ke ragging ban hai, isseliye for a change, hum logo ne decide kiya hai ke , iss baar hum freshers ka welcome karenge."

That boy asks his entire group to welcome Raaga. Everyone screams, "Welcome to our college, Ms. Raaga" and group starts laughing once again. Raaga doesn't say anything and just runs away from there. That boy keeps looking at Raaga until she goes disappeared.

One boy of that group asks that boy, " Aalap, ek baat batao, ye hum logo ne freshers ka welcome kab se start kar diya. "

Aalap looks at his friend and says, " Aur kissi ka karna bhi nahi hai ab, Raaga pahli aur akhiri fresher thi jiska humne welcome kiya. "

Aalap's friend teases him," Ohh toh special logo ka special welcome, waise Aalap tumhara aur uska naam bhi toh ek doosare se related hai, I mean, Aalap means 'Musical Prelude' and Raaga means 'Melody'."

Aalap smiles and starts looking at the upstairs.
