feeling restless and uneasy don't know why.
"we are here" as they enter a building
somewhat like concert hall covered with
poster and decorative materials. They both
get down.
"voice for good cause" manik read from one
of the poster.
" yeah actually meri sister yeh concert uski
NGO ke liye rakha hai.concert se jitne

exclaimed as they were walking in isolated
corridor following with guards as concert

" acha hua tum yaha agaye sorry mein
meeting attend nahi kar saka"
"its ok unc..l." manik word is cut by melody
of someone playing a sitar.
"come come sit it has started" maan said
excitedly.
Manik try to look at the figure sitting in the
middle of stage with sitar but can't see due
to dim lights. Slowly the lights are on and a
fully decorative stage can be seen.

her finger flows like air in sitar smooth and
fluent.
