Recap : Intro of DP and some talks between friends
AT UNIVERSITY,
It was time for their activity classes, so all went separate ways. Sanskar and Swara had taken up music and Khushi, Sahil and Kavita had taken up Gym Classes. Kavita was irked because Swasan were together, she felt jealous because she didn’t want any girl near Sanskar, though she knew Swasan would end up fighting, she still hated Swara
In the Music Class
(Teacher) “Hello Student, I am Mr. Henry Richards your music teacher. In this class we would divide the groups into three. The first group would contain only those who can sing, the second group would consist of students who can play instruments and the third group would consist of students who could sing as well as play instruments.”
(Student 1) “I have a doubt sir, how would you check we are all telling the truth or not? I might even bluff”
(Henry) “Do you think I am stupid, once you all enroll yourselves in the groups, I will keep an audition and I would get to know whether all you guys are generally interested in music or is it just a pass time that you guys have joined? Let me tell you clearly guys, if you are just coming to the music class for fun then please get out. This class will only value genuine talents and not people who are coming for passing the time. Are we clear here?”
(Students in Unison) “Yes Sir”
(Henry) “So guys let’s make groups. Student who can only sing stand to my right, students who can play only instruments towards my left and those who are all rounder, in the centre.”
Students slowly formed groups as directed by their teacher.
(Henry) “So guys I see that all have formed groups. I see that we are having ten students in each category, so we will start auditioning with all rounder. Then in our next session we will combine only singers and instrument players. So do you all agree?”
Students in unison “YES Sir”
So likewise the audition had started as discussed, like Mr.Henry said, he was very strict, he didn’t allow those who just made fool of themselves and asked them to get out of the class, then came Sanskar’ turn, he held the guitar and started (He chose this song because he hated girls, because he thought that girls could only take advantage and nothing else)
You used to call me on my, You used to, you used to, Yeah
You used to call me on my cell phone, Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone, Late night when you need my love, And I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing, I know when that hotline bling, That can only mean one thing
Ever since I left the city, you, Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out, Girl, you got me down, you got me stressed out
‘Cause ever since I left the city, you, Started wearing less and goin’ out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor,Hangin’ with some girls I never seen before
You used to call me on my cell phone, Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone, Late night when you need my love,I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing, I know when that hotline bling, That can only mean one thing
(Third Person’s POV) As Sanskar completed the song, all applauded him. He was very good, even Swara was mesmerized listening to the song; she knew that somewhere down the line he was hurt, because he sang the song with hatred. She didn’t know how but she felt him being hurt through his eyes, but being Swara she just applauded and never spoke anything. Henry was finally happy and Sanskar was in the music club. Out of ten students only 4 were selected and balance were asked to leave from the music club.
Sanskar had left to meet his friends as the university had come to an end with the end of Activity Class. On the other hand Swara had left towards the Library to start her part time job.
(Swara’s POV) “Why did Sanskar sing the song with so much pain? What was hidden in his eyes that no one was able to read? Am I over imagining? Why am I so bothered about his pain? I hate men and all men are the same, I don’t see why I should be the one feeling his pain. Why am I feeling so moved and touched? This feeling confuses me. I don’t like him but I feel his pain, I envy him because he has all what he needs and I am complete opposite. I don’t know what connects us, is it the pain and the bitterness that both of us share. I can see his eyes filled with pain and moreover filled with hatred. He is like a lost soul in some desert and I feel the same connect as I am on the same camel on which he is travelling in the desert. Anyways why am I so bothered, I have to focus on my career to give a bright future to my family”
After Swara’s hard and tiring day, she reached home and Ragini opened the door
(Ragini) “So how was your day at University?”
(Swara) “The day was rubbish I fought with Mr. Sanskar Maheshwari, the most popular and flirtatious person on earth”
Nandini on hearing a guy’s name from her sister’s mouth came running to the hall and said
(Nandini) “So is the guy very hot?”
(Swara) “How am I supposed to know whether he is hot or not? I just know one thing he is a tough competition in class and the most arrogant person I have ever met. He thinks he is the king of our class. He should understand all of us are equals. He and his friend Kavita are just too much. Nonetheless his friend Sahil is a true gem. Though I didn’t speak to him, it was clear that he is a good guy but Sanskar , Hmmmppphhhhhhh…He is a good singer and a guitarist, his voice has depth and that’s it about him”
(Ragini teasing Swara) “I guess you are going to fall hard for Mr.Arrogance”
(Swara) “Stop joking Ragini, I am not a person to fall in love. He is my competition and I am looking forward to it.”
(Nandini) “Okay now let’s move to Sahil, how is he?”
(Swara) “As I said earlier, he is good and sweet, my friend Khushi likes him.”
(Nandini) “Oh Crap, so this guy is also out of your league? I pray to God Almighty that you get a boyfriend in this University”
(Swara) “I don’t have time for boyfriends. Ultimate goal is to get in a Government Department and before I need to clear my MBA”
(Ragini) “Back to my original question, how was your day? Who is Khushi?”
(Swara) “The day was as I said rubbish because of Sanskar, but the professors are amazing. Especially DP Sir, he is the best. I know its just the first class but still he is good. I heard that he is Sanskar’s uncle but in the class he never showed any partiality, so I am happy that way. Khushi is my friend and she is a very cute bubbly person I like her she remind of Nandu”
(Nandini) “In short you had a mixed day. I am glad there is someone who is like me, at least she will help you stay stress free. Anyways all the best for tomorrow, I am going to sleep now as I have school. Bye Di, take care and have a blast tomorrow and live a little”
Saying this she ran away because she knew Swara would shout at her.
(Ragini) “Come Swara, I will give you food, even mum ate her dinner.”
(Swara) “Ok, I will just freshen up; you please keep the dinner ready”
Swara came and both sisters had their dinner. After dinner, Ragini cleared the table and Swara went straight to the room as she was damn tired. But before sleeping, Swara then opened her best friend DIARY and wrote about her day at University and about her part time job.
At the Maheshwaris Side
All were having their dinner
(RP) “So Sanskar, how was your day?”
(Sanskar) “Dad, day was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed. The studies are tough but I am having fun, its challenging. I have a good competition in class. Her name is Swara, she is a short, arrogant and an attitude girl along with a good record in academics.”
(Uttara) “Oooooh So I see, you have a good competition, her nature is same as yours, I am impressed. I am sure you are going to have a tough time in securing your rank.”
(Sanskar) “Are you her sister or mine? Why are you supporting her? You are supposed to support me and not a third person.”
(Sujatha) “Come on Sanskar, she is just telling that you would have a tough competition and its purely on the basis of your description. Don’t take it to your heart and I know that my son would fair well.”
(RP) “I am happy he is going to take his studies seriously, but nevertheless Sujatha please stop telling well about your son that he would fly high. Let him stay on the ground and work hard.”
(Sanskar) “Ya right, Dad can never be happy for my success. Not fair dad.”
(RP) “Son, Everything is fair when it comes to keeping check on your children. If one parent leaves you to fly high, the other must make sure that you land down safely before you fall.”
(Sanskar) “I understand Dad and I would make sure that I study hard.”
Everyone continued a little of chit chatting and called the day. Sanskar before sleeping typed the entire day’s going in his diary and slept.
“Every New Day is a start of new challenge and every new challenge leads to making of new solutions”
The next day,
The routine was the same, Swara would take her mom’s blessing and say her wishes to her sister and leave for her college and Sanskar would give his pleasantries to his family, he would go and pick up Kavita and Sahil.
In the Class,
(Khushi) “Hi Swara, Good Morning”
(Swara) “Good Morning Khushi. So ready to start the day?”
(Khushi) “Totally and with a friend like you, I guess it’s going to be a piece of cake.”
(Swara) “Hmm.. Hope I don’t end up in an argument with Mr.Arrogant”
(Khushi) “Oooooooooooo, so someone is already missing Sanskar.”
(Swara) “No ways, he is just a good competitor and nothing more than that. So tell me how was your activity class yesterday. You are in the same class as Sahil right?”
(Khushi) “It was nice, Sahil is a very sweet and a matured fellow. I like him. But I didn’t get to talk to him because Kavita was there with him.”
(Swara) “So someone is jealous”
(Khushi) “No I am not jealous because I know she is just a friend to him and I also know that she has feelings for Sanskar.”
(Swara) “That’s good, Mr Arrogant and Ms.Arrogant together, a perfect couple.”
(Khushi) “Who knows that even this Ms.Arrogant (pointing to Swara) is a good pair to Mr.Arrogant”
(Swara) “No ways, you know my full background, do you think I would fall for anyone. Seeing my mom’s condition, no ways”
(Khushi) “Everyone’s time would come and even I would see then whether you fall for him or not.”
(Swara) “The class is going to start now Khushi, so let’s focus here and not in another talks”
The TRIO SanKavHil had come. The trio glared at Swara and Khushi. Sanskar and Kavita glared with attitude and Sahil with friendship. Then the class started and everyone focused in class. As usual the class was fun and Swasan had arguments in each points and topics. These arguments made the class lively. Sometimes Swara was right in her points and arguments and sometimes Sanskar was right. Like that the day passed on and it was time for their activity class.
In the activity class,
(Henry) “Hello Guys, I hope today the next set is ready to stand to my expectations.”
The students shouted in unison “YES SIR”
(Henry) “As you know from yesterday’s audition, Sanskar, James, Akira and Leila got selected. So let’s see who is getting selected today. As you all know, today’s audition would be in pairs that is one singer and one musician. So let’s start.
(Third Person’s POV) “There were a total of ten pairs today. They all had come based on their Role Call. Swara and her partner Kyle were third in number. Swara was hell nervous because after seeing the selection process of Henry, she knew she had to be perfect. Along with Kyle, she was sure that they have selected a good song but still. The first two pair had gone and Henry was not pleased with their performance, Swara was hell scared as it was Kyle and her turn. Their names were called and this was it for both as it is a make or a break situation.”
“I want you to breathe me,
Let me be your air
Let me roam your body freely
No inhibition, no fear
How deep is your love?
Is it like the ocean?
What devotion are you?
How deep is your love?
Is it like nirvana?
Hit me harder, again
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
Is it like the ocean?
Pull me closer, again
How deep is your love?
Balam pichkari jo tune mujhe maari
Toh seedhi saadi chhori sharaabi ho gayi
Haa Jeans pahen ke jo tune maara thumka
Toh lattoo padosan ki bhabhi ho gayi (x2)
Itna maza, kyun aa raha hai
Tune hawa mein bhaang milaya
Dugna nasha, kyun ho raha hai
Aankhon se meetha tune khilaya
How deep is your love?
Is it like the ocean?
What devotion are you?
How deep is your love?”
There was silence filled and no one said anything. Swara was disheartened when suddenly applause had erupted. All were impressed. Kyle played the instrument well to match Swara’s mix of song. Both had done a good job
(Henry) “Kyle and Swara, both of you were amazing. Swara what a mix I must say and I was glad to listen to a peppy Hindi number with an English number, just amazing.”
(Kyle and Swara’s happiness knew no bounds and said in unison) “Thank you Sir”
Both of them came and stood in their place and were listening to others.
(Sanskar’s POV) “I didn’t expect Swara to be this good. She had sung kind of a peppy number. Swara who is all serious, I must agree she is a complete bundle with brains, voice and also cuteness. Wait what did I just say, I just told her cute. OMG what is happening to me. If I say this to Sahil and Kavita they would make fun of me. No ways. How can I say her cute? I hate girls, no no this can’t be happening. I need to divert my mind and focus on my education and then my CIVIL Exams. Focus Sanskar”
Finally the auditions were over and a total of three pairs were selected including Swara and Kyle. So Henry had decided to form two bands that would represent the university.
(Henry) “Hello Guys so there are a total of 10 students that I selected out of 30 applied. Now I am going to make two separate bands that would represent the university for various Fest and everything. Do not worry as these practices would only be held on Saturdays so that your studies and music do not collide. Band 1 would practice every Saturday during the morning hours around 8 and Band 2 would practice in the afternoon around 2 at this same place. So let’s start with Group 1 names James, Kyle, Swara, Sanskar and Leila. Sanskar and Swara would be the main leads in GROUP 1 (I know it’s cliche). GROUP 2 will have Akira, James, Ellie, John and Farheen. In this group the main leads would be Akira and Farheen as both these girls have the best voice.”
Both Sanskar and Swara were shocked as they were in the same group.
(Henry) “So guys any question?”
All in unison “NO SIR”
Everyone in the class had dispersed as their day came to an end.
One side Swara was happy that her dreams were falling in place and on the other side Sanskar was giggling with his friends as it was time to leave.
Khushi met Swara before she started her work,
(Khushi) “Congrats Swara, I heard you have got selected in the Music class and you are also part of a band”
(Swara) “Thank you Khushi”
(Khushi) “I also heard you and Sanskar are the main leads in your band. So Mr Arrogant and Ms Arrogant together, I am loving it. Hopefully I get to hear both of yours budding love story.”
(Swara) “Khushi even you talk like my sister Nandu, you girls have only one track mind. There would be nothing between us, now bye I am getting late for work. See you tomorrow”
Khushi waved her hands towards Swara and left
