ADRIJA

.

.

Rajasthan Idol (A Singing Competition), India

She read the board and glanced at the crowd. Taking a deep breath, she entered the hotel. The Singing competition was a bit luxurious and it was held at the White Hotel, in Rajasthan.

The contestants dolled themselves and wore brand name dresses. But For this competition, She wore denim shorts and a loose top and every time she moved, her toned legs would show elegantly.

People looked at her and started to grade her looks. She had a completely different aura than the rest of the girls.

She had the air and charm of a noble, she didn't look nervous and her hair also flattered with her simple yet elegant look.

Carrying her 5'4 ft height and 55kg weight she walked flawlessly in her high heels. Her face was not bare but had a layers of make-up, helping her skin to shine brightly under the dozens of lights.

"Hi !" .... ,, One of the other contestant waved her hand on her.

Adrija smiled and like a spring her smile captured the attention of other contestants as Adrija replied, "Hello!"

Another contestant introduced, "I'm Sheena"

"ADRIJA here!" .... ,, Adrija introduced herself but From across her seat, Adrija could feel a stare from someone. She looked towards the source of the glare and found a girl with a paled face wearing a long glittered expensive dress.

That girl didn't try to conceal her stare in front of everyone and somehow the other contestants were trying to curry favor from her by praising her beauty and fashion sense.

Other girls wore overbearing clothes and looked more arrogant and pompous, most of them wore red or black to impress the judge. But instead of impression, they looked like a stupid clown.

Adrija immediately recognised that girl, Rumi. Because, in the past, they were also in the same singing class and there Adrija would always be praised for her singing that made Rumy jealous and Rumi would often bully or made some other vicious action towards ADRIJA but Adrija was ADRIJA who knew to fight back.

Before Rumi could say to Adrija, A sudden announcement made her clench her fist

"Contestant 122- Please come to the stage "

Adrija smirked while she moved like a queen and entered into the stage.

One of the hardest judges, who was well known for being the famous composer all over India, Mr. RJ wore a grave, furious expression.

He banged the table over and over furiously and screamed at all the contestants.

"NEXT!" . . "Next" . . "Next" . .

Mr. RJ screamed while banging furiously at the table. Other judges also lost their interest when they heard the quack singing on the stage with no feelings.

But when Adrija walk to the stage. At first, the judge wanted to wave off and tells the staff to turn away the stupid clowns to go back but Their impressions changed when they looked at Adrija who had layers of make-up on her face but still her aura wasn't like a cry baby or a porcelain doll.

Adrija took the microphone and stood straight elegantly. One could know instantly that she was different from the rest of the singers.

Her eyes were filled with passion for singing and as a person who had been in the industry for the past 50 Years, Mr. RJ knew that this girl was different.

Mr. RJ took his mic and asked ADRIJA, "What are you Going to sing?"

As, His expression still looks stern and angry, but people knew that his tone softened at Adrija.

Staring at the judges, Adrija smiled and Confidently answered him "जाने वो कैसे लोग थे|"(What kind of people were they)

{A classical hit Original song by Hemant Kumar from the Hindi movie pyaasa}

Mr. RJ's face turned brighter, that

was one of his favorite songs, but that song needed a lot of high techniques and also the feelings in the song were hard to achieve for young singers like her.

This song had a deeper meaning and deepest feeling that wasn't easy for any new singer to achieve the essence of this song.

Mr. RJ had a lot of expectations, but still he didn't want to hang his expectations too high. After all, Adrija still looked young and immature from his point of view.

The song slowly played and Adrija's expression mellowed along with the song.

An angelic voice came from her nude painted lips as her expression changed to fit perfectly with the song.

Adrija had become like a completely different person from before as her voice melted into the room.

[Song - when we asked for buds

got a necklace of thorns

Know how were those people whose

Love got love. , ,]

Her eyes were closed and her voice notes were perfect.

[Song - If you find the destination of happiness

got dust of sorrow

songs of love if you want

got cold eyes

The burden of the heart has been doubled by the fool

When we...]

Music was playing and Adrija stood there confidently as her eyes were still closed, lost in the essence of the song.

[Song - Got separated... got separated by giving every companion

moment by moment companionship

Who has time to hold the hand of lovers

We often found our shadow useless

when we asked for buds

got a necklace of thorns

Know how were those people whose

Love got love. , ,]

Mr. RJ's heart was pounding but warmly. His eyes never left Adrija's face and caught her each and every movement.

[Song - this is called living

will live anyway

Oops, won't you take your lips?

will drink tears

How to be afraid of sorrow now, got sorrow hundred times,

Other judges were too lost to check upon the Mr. RJ. Adrija's voice did magic on everyone.

[when we asked for buds

got a necklace of thorns

Know how were those people whose

Love got love. , ,

Know how were those people whose

Love got love. , , ,]

Adrija finished her singing and the whole stage turned silent even after she finished the song.

People couldn't snap back from their awe and their mouths gaped and tears fell.

Their dumbfounded expressions and soft sobbed and sniffings actually filled the room until one person started clapping. Then they snapped back from the trance and followed with another sea of applause.

Adrija smiled politely and bowed slightly at the judges..The judges and the audiences unconsciously cry, tears streamed down their cheeks.

They could feel the feeling of lonely wish to be loved by the person, who had another person in their heart.

This song conveyed an amazing experience of emotion. This song was an epic of a tragic song, without being a regular tear-jerker, it would tear your heart apart

While sobbing, one of the judges stood up and gave a clap, followed by Mr. RJ and others, even the contestants and staff who heard her singing couldn't stop themselves from praising her.

Mr. RJ tried his best to surpass his cries and stood along with the other judges and gave his clap of admiration.

This song was actually an anthem to all the broken hearts. The straight-from-the-heart lyrics encapsulated the pain of unreciprocated love. Mr. RJ remembered his own unreciprocated love.

His eyes weren't believing. He was bewildered, numbed and lost in emotions.

A young girl at the blooming, immature age, standing at the state, facing a crowd and renowned judges from the music industry. How could she depicted the feeling of the song? And what also shocked him the most was her singing techniques were absolutely correct and gave them chills.

Mr RJ had known many singers that could sing this song too, but none of them could resemble the original singer But Adrija, not only did she perfect the song with her expression and singing skill. She didn't sing the way the original singer sang and copied it the way it was. Instead, she completely turned the song as her own song. She sang the song in her own style and used her skills.

"Truly beautiful, your techniques and the feeling of the song resonated to everyone's heart!"

"Amazing, This is the best song I've ever heard "

"Your voice is very beautiful"

The crowds also nodded and agreed with the judges.

Instantly, The video of her singing was posted on one of the judges and crowds social networking sites in the afternoon and in one night, she became really famous. The social networking sites were filled , shared and re-posted with her video song.

[ Spring Girl ] hashtag - at the rate of - RAJASTHAN IDOL and her video had been re-watched for more than million views.

What caught people's eyes were her spring-like smile and soft one side dimple and fangs like side pointed tooth that flipped the heart of most of the boys.

(English translation of the song:-

Love reciprocated I wonder what kind of people find their Whenever I asked for flowers, I received a garland of thorns.

I searched for a destination of joy, but I found a circle of sadness I desired tales of love, but I received only the coldness of sighs.

The burdens of my heart only doubled, if I met someone meant to relieve my sorrow.

Every companion gave me a few moments of company, and left After all, who has the free time to hold a crazy man's hand?

Even my own shadow is often weary of me.

If this is what they call life, then I will live like this..I will not sigh, I will seal my lips, and swallow my tears. After all, how can I be concerned by sadness? I have met sadness a hundred times.)

Meanwhile, in Delhi, someone was sneezing back to back.

"Achoo!" ...

He sneezed and took a tissue as he hugged his own arms and shivered.

He tilted her head and watched up to the sky, "This night, Is the weather too cold, or has someone been talking bad about me behind my back?"'

"Achoo!" .....

He sneezed again and wipes his nose with a tissue the corners of his lips twitches

"Does someone miss me?"

A few seconds after his thoughts, he sneezed again, "Achoo!"

This time he became irritated and took his blanket and covered his body.

"Maybe Maa is thinking about me? Or someone is trying to steal what belongs to me?" ..... ,, He smiled joyfully at his own thoughts and then talked. He laughed softly as his own words and then sipped his herbal tea.

In Rajasthan, India

The Sawan month (July-August) was marked by complete devotion to Lord Shiva. This month was dedicated to Lord Shiva and also known as 'Shravan' and in the SINGH family, Women were observing fasts on Mondays.

{The Sawan month, also known as Shravan month, is considered auspicious among Hindus. The Hindi calendar month of Sawan is dedicated to Lord Shiva and his consort goddess Parvati and they are worshipped during various fasts and festivals that are celebrated in their honour. Monday fasts are observed by both single and married women for fulfilment of wishes and blissful married. Sawan month is observed as the holiest month in Hinduism}.

During this time, on every monday, all ladies of SINGH family visited the temple and offered flowers, milk, and holy water to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.

At this time, Adrija who was wearing a dark green Sharara dress, covering her head with the dupatta (stole) which had a mirror worked on it, was offering Jal (holy water) on the Shiva Linga (The Symbol of Shiva). Her eyes were closed, lips were painted in nude shades of lipstick and face was donned with light natural make-up.

Her mouth was chanting 'Om Namah Shivaya' , 'Om Namah Shivaya' (I Bow down to Shiva) mantra back to back.

Her wrists were full of green glass bangles and designs of henna that left a dark colour on her palm was beautifully decorated and caught the attention of other women.

Watching her daughter on a complete fast of 'No food and No water' and also devoting to the Lord Shiva, filled Adrija's mother's eyes, "Hai Sambhu Nath ! Meri Addoo par apni kripa hamesha banaye rakhna"

(Oh Lord Shiva ! Please always shower your blessings on my daughter Adrija)

Adrija's second aunt heard it and smiled while looking at Adrija and said confidently, "Sister ! Don't think too much. Our daughter Adrija will get a husband like Lord Shiva.

Finally, after listening to sweet words from her Co- sister , Adrija's mother beamed and said happily, "Sweets in your mouth".

Both Co-sisters , Mother and second aunt of Adrija said in unison happily, "Everywhere is God".

~~~~~~ ~~~~~~

Across the long hall, a youth skipped his footsteps happily while humming a song.

la la la la la la la

He stopped at Adrija's room and burst into the room happily.

BANG

"Diiiiiiiiii" (elder sister) .... ,, Like a puppy wagging his tail, Kshitij, Adrija's younger brother joyfully walks in and marches straight to Adrija who was practicing her dance moves.

"What's wrong?" .... ,, Adrija pushed away her brother who was acting like a Golden retriever and Adrija hated cats and dogs.

"Diiiii (sister) ! I'm so happyyyyyyy. Youuuuu areeeee aaaaa celebrityyyyy nowww" ..... ,, Kshitij said and ruffled her hair.

Adrija pushed him away and straightened her hair and asked irritatedly, "Are you done? Why are you stretching each word of yours?"

Kshitij grinned like a buffalo and showed his big white teeth and said proudly, "Ahh ! My sister is an idol. She won the music competition named Rajasthan Idol. You are a celebrity now and very famous on social networking sites which are sharing your performance and appreciating my super sister So, obviously i will be happy for you. I'm proud of you"

Adrija smiled politely and said, "You are exaggerating so much. It's just a singing competition. And my main goal is to win 'BHARAT IDOL' a national level of singing competition and then the Indian Film & music industry"

"Ohh ! You are my Super sister. I know that you will surely achieve your next goal" .... ,, Kshitij replied to Adrija who could only shake her head

"When is the audition starting for BHARAT IDOL?" ..... ,, Kshitij asked her Adrija who started to practice her dance moves as she heard him and replied, "After two Months in Delhi"

Kshitij nodded and ran out of her room while saying, "I will go with you".

Adrija stopped practicing dance and stared at her brother. She sat down on the floor and thought about the days and her hard work that she did in order to win the title of 'RAJASTHAN IDOL' singing competition appeared in her mind.

After fighting with other contestants for three weeks, finally she won the title at last and achieved one of her goals. She, not only won the title but also gained popularity, prized money and most importantly She made her parents proud but still there was no satisfaction in her heart.

Adrija leaned on the wall as she rubbed her stomach which was hurting because of dancing in empty stomach.

Adrija sighed weakly and wiped the sweats from her face. Her eyes landed on the mirror which had her reflection on it.

Adrija touched her face with her finger tips and felt sad because she was not satisfied with her looks and appearance.

For everyone, Adrija was a beautiful young girl with the best education and loving family but Adrija didn't love herself at all.

Adrija looked away from the mirror and again stood up to dance to maintain her figure.

Adrija was aware about this fact that Her life was different from her elder cousin, Chandni. Her sister lived with the loads of restrictions and rules but Adrija's life was nothing like her sister.

Adrija's parents were lovely and caring. Her elder brother was protective and supportive. Her grandparents and family of her second uncle was also very good and always supporting her. She got everything best in her life.

Adrija's parents gave her time , space and mostly freedom to enjoy her life. She wore whatever she wanted. She did without any care of anyone.

Adrija's life was like a princess since her childhood. She studied in the best school and College of Rajasthan. She had good friends. She could do anything in her life without the permission of her family.

Adrija's father was her devotee and loved her dearly. Her family was her backbone who always stood for her. She could roam around with her friends and enjoy the time. She could do anything that another girl couldn't even think to do or wouldn't get permission to do in her life.

But Adrija was different. A star of her parents'eyes. An apple of her other family members. Everyone hold her carefully on the palm of their hands.

Her family loved her wholeheartedly. But still There was no peace in her life.

Adrija felt that something was missing from her life.

Thank you

{Last chapter continued}

Adrija bit her lips and stopped dancing and stood on the weighing machine which showed the weight of her. Adrija clenched her fist angrily.

"I have to. I can't"

Adrija thought as she wanted to punch herself.

Every person had a flaws in them. If her sister's life was not easy and full of restrictions and rules then her life was like a spoilt Princess but Adrija, too, had flaws in her.

Her biggest issue was her weight problem. Without eating or say, eating like a bird, her weight always increased , giving a headache to her. And According to Adrija, Her outer appearance was ugly.

There was an insecurities in her heart about her looks and her body figure that was why she always did dieting in the facade of fast for the Lords.

Adrija was 24 years old but she appeared more than her original age. Bones of her body was thick and wide. Her facial features were not sharp and soft like her sister. Sometimes people thought that Adrija was near to her thirty that added fuel into her anger and she blasted at those aunties who were worries about her marriage.

Adrija disliked those people who pointed out on her height, dress style and outer appearance that was why she had limited numbers of friends in her friend list and avoided neighbour aunties.

Everyone in her was very tall in height but Adrija, who was 5'4 ft in height, was not satisfied at all. To cover up her insecurities, She liked to do make-up and carrying high heels. Wearing western dresses made her happy.

Adrija shook her head and stopped thinking about the past. She resumed her performance.

Dancing gave her happiness and Singing gave her peace. Both dancing and singing were the part of her life and she couldn't live without them.

In Delhi :-

Running in the colony ground, A young man of age 21 was observing his surroundings as his photogenic memory was looking around the ground.

His eyes were too dark, darker than the night. His thick , sharp brows were deep. His nose was pointed, lips were thin and a little bit peachy.

Wearing grey and black colour of sports wear, His toned muscles were flexing as he ran and smiled at the children who were waiting for their school buses. His long legs were too fast as he was doing his regular exercise to join the Police force like his father.

All the aunties and grannies were drooling over him as his tanned , caramel skin was glistening under the sunrays as sweat drops and playing Salsa on his skin.

Sweating and panting , ShivShakti Singh Rathore entered into a small but warm house and instantly the sweet smell of incense sticks, fruits and all the flowers of the house garden filled his heart and sent CALMNESS to him.

But the CALMNESS was too calm for his knowledge and soon, he saw his tensed parents were talking about something.

He moved closer to them and sat down beside his mother whose face had thin lines of worry on her forehead

"Maa! What's wrong?" .... ,, Shiv asked as he took a glass of water and sipped while staring at her

"Shivu" ... ,, His father called him and Shiv stared at her father who was looking tensed.

Rudra , his father looked impatiently because of the incident which happened in his family and he wanted to solve it as soon as possible.

"What's wrong Papa?" .... ,, Shiv asked as his heart suddenly trembled as his father's eyes bore into his eyes

"I want you to marry her" ... ,, Rudra said and it appeared like an announcement to Shiv who suddenly felt numbness in his whole body

His father who dropped the Marriage bomb on twenty one years old Shiv who was preparing himself for the Police force Just like his father Rudra Singh Rathore

Watching him still like a statue. Rudra couldn't stop himself from looking deep into Shiv's eyes. His mother, Shakti sighed and weakly wiped her eyes and asked to Shiv , "Do you like or love someone ? Then tell right now because it's important otherwise we will never say this to you ?"

Shiv immediately shook his head negatively and replied to them , "No Maa and Papa . I'm single and don't have anyone in my Life"

Both Rudra and Shakti were aware of some hidden waves of their son's life but they chose not to bring out the matter. They left everything in the hand of fate.

His father hugged him and spoke, "Our family needs you my Son. I'm sorry. Your Papa is sorry"

Shiv hugged his father tightly and said, "No Papa just tells me when the Marriage is?"

Asking this question, Shiv's heart was beating crazily inside his heart . His mind was blank but he knew how much his parents loved him otherwise they would never plan something big like Marriage without asking him

"Tomorrow" .... ,, Shakti answered in a low voice and Shiv looked at his parents and said, "Okay I am ready. Papa ! Maa!"

Shiv smiled widely at his parents because Shiv knew everything about his family and especially about his parents lives.

Rudra and Shakti could feel something but at the other hand,

His parents never hide any important things from him. And he wasn't a weak man who couldn't overcome the hurdles of his life.

From Here ShivShakti's journey started . . . .

Or, THE DARING HADES would face another waves of Tsunami in his life?

Life was unpredictable and by each passing second, God was planning something big in the lives of his devotees. This Time, Lord Shiva had planned to give Typhoon to his devotees.

How would they cope up with the upcoming situation?

Adrija was prepare to win another title to achieve her goal.

Shiv was ready to get married to the girl whom his parents had chosen for him.

Meanwhile LORD SHIVA, A smile was teasingly playing on his lips while all his three eyes were close and lost in the DHYAAN MUDRA.(meditation)
