Part 9:
Angad yawned as he listened professor announcing sumthing regarding an inter-college singing comp., he knew if he wud participate his college was destined 2 win so y bother abt instructions…
Kripa continued writing her notes neglecting prof. words…she hates singing…ok she luvs singing but only 4 herself and not 4 neone else.
Prof. ended his words by asking the interested ones to come up 4 the auditions…
The interested ones raised their hands while prof. noted them down along wid calling them out. Angad got his name registered at the end. When prof. was abt to get up Nisha raised an engrossed kripa's hand without her knowledge…it was when prof. called out her name dat she realized wat Nisha was doing…she was shocked and so was everyone else in the class…kripa and singing!!!
Kripa spoke up angrily to Nisha
"Why did u do this…u know I don't like this all"
"But kripa u have a gr8 voice and I want u to be appreciated 4 that…plz kripa 4 me, man jao na" Nisha said cheekily.
Kripa melted at Nisha expression and agreed…after all she is the only one who has been wid her thru all thick and thin.
Kripa w8ed for her turn in the hall where students were being auditioned…feeling terribly nervous as she saw students hooting at the participants who forget the song at the stage or stammered due to nervousness.
Next to next was her no. after Angad but Angad was no where in sight. Then as the participant ended the song, Angad entered, directly went to the stage, grabbed the mike and started singing. He sang 'Oh humdum suniyo re' from the movie Sathiya. Every one applauded as he ended. He smiled and murmered 'angad is the best' to himself. He went proudly and took a seat beside Nisha winking at her.
Then kripa went to stage feeling nervous…she became dumb as she reached the stage and saw every one staring at her as if it was a miracle for Kripa Sharma to sing . Her nervousness was visible on her face but no body dared to mock her b'coz of image she had.
Nisha started cracking her fingers and Angad became extremely worried and nervous for but not knowing why!
Angad muttered as if to himself 'plz kripa sing…sing damn it' and as if reply to his concern kripa closed her eyes and chanted sumthing like a mantra 2 herself and started singing with her eyes closed imagining all the pain she has gone thru:
Tumse naraz nahi zindagi hairan hun main… hairan hun main
Tere masum sawalon se pareshan hoon main…pareshan hoon main
Jeene ke liye socha hi nahin , dard sambhalne honge
Muskurayen to muskurane ke karz utarne honge
Ab kabhi muskuraye to yun lagta hai, jaise honthon pe karz rakha hai
Tumse naraz nahi zindagi hairan hun main… hairan hun main
Tere masum sawalon se pareshan hoon main…pareshan hoon main
Aaj agar bhar ayi hain…boonde baras jayengi,
kal kya pata kiske liye ankhen taras jayengi
jane kahan gum hua kahan khoya, ek aansoo chupa ke rakha tha
Tumse naraz nahi zindagi hairan hun main… hairan hun main
Tere masum sawalon se pareshan hoon main… pareshan hoon main…
pareshan hoon main…
pareshan hoon main…
Every body was too shocked to speak nething…there was so depth in her song. Every one got up and gave her a huge applause but Angad continued sitting…speechless. Beautiful he thought as he felt his eyes little moist…..
Angad and kripa were selected to represent boys and girls respectively.
Angad cudn't believe himself, he was standing on kripa's door on third consequent day. He had come to take his clothes, he had forgotten there the other day…atleast this was the reason he told himself.he stood there as he heard the door opening…
So here was the part…actually this part was not preplanned…newayz the song is from film 'Masoom' by Shekhar kapur picturised on Shabana Azmi. DO COMMENT…
