WINGING THE TUNE
Aroma a happy-faced girl,who always used to hymn the lyrics of songs.She was 19 years old and just cleared her ISC board examinations. There was rush in all the colleges for admissions and all passed out students were in those lines some in science,some commerce and some for arts.
Aroma's father was a government employee and mother a school teacher,she too had a younger brother,Ayush. She wasn't too good in her academics but somehow managed to secure 82% in her ISC board examinations. Since she was a trained singer, she wanted to continue her graduation with music. She hence, started searching for good music colleges,where she could continue her further music training. She was 14 when she left singing and concentrated on just studies there on.It was almost after 5 years when she took her sitar out and sat with it.Not everyone was happy with that.
After all the inquiries that were to be made regarding good music colleges,she somehow plucked up. She sat with her father and said,"I don't want to continue commerce, I've shortlisted few music colleges." Her father seemed angry and asked her to remember the day when she decided to leave music.That was the day when her father locked her musical instruments.
Aroma did not come out of her room for 3 days and regretted her past decision.
After all this her father made up his mind and allowed her for her admissions in 'Sargam Institute' that was the best music college in India.Aroma cleared her entrance and was all ready to head towards her new journey. Since childhood she used to adore and idolize Nishant mahadevan,a famous singer ,she wished to meet him and she knew her journey for that had begun.
"And here comes Dehradun",the bus conductor announced. Here was Aroma in Dehradun for her newest beginning.It was after 5 years she was going to start her music again.It was the first day of her college and classes began right after her orientation ceremony.
Days went off and she was all comfortable in the college.She joined a wrong group and started bunking almost every class scheduled. After two weeks while she was sitting in the classroom, a teacher entered ,paying no attention to what the teacher tought Aroma was laughing and giggling.
"You , yes you, what does Raga Anant mean?"teacher asked her. Aroma was embarrassed because she knew nothing and she couldn't help it.
On teacher scolding her and asking her to go back home,Aroma was hurt , this was the first time someone shouted at her with such harsh words.
Next morning she woke up at 4:00 a.m. and started practicing her music,and continued the same from then on without bunking any classes. Two years went and students headed for a music competition, conducted by the college. Nishant Mahadevan was the chief judge of that contest . After all the performances winner was Aroma,it was difficult for her to believe that but that was all true. Nishant Mahadevan offered her a music album and a playback debut track with him.
And she became the best female vocalist of India.
Story of my dreams with Aroma's aroma in it.The girl who lived for her dreams for her music.
Not everyone is blessed to fulfill their dreams. Those who are allowed to make their career and passion the same are the luckiest of all.
