When in school I had a huge big gang of friends , we all used to sit near the basket ball court and have our lunch. We all took pride is being a big group. As we grew up the group split and re-split and split . We finally were 5 good friends and 2 of us became thick friends. And we remain so till date.....touch wood....
Rats from school was a talented young , jovial girl ( lady now :) ) . I was this boisterous , naughty , playful girl. We both gelled like ice cream and chocolate sauce. Rats was a born singer and our singing teacher's pet. I would always want to sing but she would tell me next time all the time. I did not like her a lot , I simply could not understand that when they are some 20 girls in the group if I sang along how can the song go wrong , I could easilyblend in . I could not explain as well back then , but my teacher even though she understood my query never bothered explaining, though I understand why now :).
We got a circular informing that there is an inter state singing competition in our local language Kannada and a group of 10 girls were required. Rats was chosen to hand pick the 10 girls .. Boy did I smile or what , this was my chance and needless to say my only chance to be on a singing platform. I was one of the 9 elite group member chosen to take part in the competition. We practised for days together and it seemed all perfect atleast I thought so and I think even the rest shared the same opinion. A day before the competition our Language teacher who was in charge of the team came along and instructed us to sing one after the other. I did not think too much about it until I was asked to sing ALL ALONE :( ... I barely sang 10 words and my teacher was screaming who took this girllllllllllllllll :(((((((((((((( .After a good hearing from the teacher for both R and me I was asked just to mime the song and not sing along. No changes in the singers were allowed in the last minute and that's how I today possess a 1st prize for a singing competition at State Level >.. Thanks Rats my dream would have remained a dream
