1. Childhood Days

Vijay Dhani was born in Mumbai in India. Even as an infant he used to stay very happy. He was a child from a middle income family, slightly on the richer side. They could afford all the basic comforts hence there was peace at home. He had a younger brother Jay and younger sister Sharada. His father Siddha was very strict and Vijay used to be frightened of him. His mother Divya however showered love and doted over all the three kids.

In the day Vijay went to school and always got good marks. But as he was not very strong physically, he used to be bullied a lot. He tried complaining to the Head Sister of the missionary school he studied in, but she couldn’t do anything. The school had corporal punishment, and the teachers used to have a cane. Once in the lunch break, Vijay broke the teacher’s cane, when no one was looking.

One day in class, the teacher came to Vijay’s desk and asked him to stretch his hand out. The teacher then hit the hand with a duster really hard. ‘For talking in class.’, the teacher said. ‘I did not talk’, Vijay replied. In the evening Vijay’s father saw the swollen blue hand. He took Vijay on his motorcycle and they went to meet the school Father. The Father saw Vijay’s hand. Vijay then waited outside till Siddha talked to the school Father. Siddha ensured that the teacher was fired. But a strange fear of academics had gripped Vijay’s mind.

In the class there was a girl called Aditi. She was very pretty to look at and Vijay fell in love with her. He would keep on starting at her in class, and in the breaks follow her around just to get a glimpse of her. His heart pined for her and he was hopelessly in love. Sometimes he would feel that she is gazing back. When she was around fifteen Aditi left school. She never came back. Rumor had it that she was not well, but there was no clear news.

In the evenings, the kids used to play cricket. Vijay was terrible at the game. He could never throw the ball straight, nor could he hit the ball with his bat. As a result he was never allotted bowling or batting. He used to spend the game time in the corner fielding. One evening the grown up boys of the building took the bat and ball away by force. Vijay got angry and picked up the stumps from the wicket. His friends however misunderstood and said, ‘He just wants the ball’. Vijay went away with tears in his eyes and never talked to them again. He tried going to play in other buildings nearby, but the boys asked him to go to his own building. As a result Vijay spent the evenings alone, riding his bicycle in the market around the colony.

Books were the only friends Vijay ever had after that. He was a member of a library in the market and issued one comic book a day. He also read novels regularly. That would keep him peaceful. Jay and Sharada were very close and they used to play card games together. They also used to share the library books. Handling Jay and Sharada used to keep Vijay busy, helping with their studies. The two brothers and their sister were very happy together.

After schooling Vijay got admission in graduation. He chose to learn engineering in a big public college in India at Varanasi. There was a lot of harassment of the new students on campus. The harassment angered and saddened Vijay, but all the students had been through the same thing. Vijay learnt to escape the harassment by leaving the college premises when the classes got over, and used to come back on campus late at night when everyone had gone to sleep. Soon the harassment period got over and there was a big welcome party hosted by the seniors for the first year students.

Vijay was allotted a room in a hostel. It was reasonably sized and had a bed, a table and chair, and a cupboard. As this was the first time he had a room to himself in his life Vijay was really ecstatic. The hostel had a mess and the food was very tasty. There were a few tea and food shops, and also a few cigarette shops near the hostel in the campus. After finishing the day’s classes by afternoon, Vijay would sleep for some time till the evening. A few days a week however there were laboratory studies in the afternoon and Vijay had to miss his afternoon sleep. He used to spend a few hours at the tea shop every evening, smoking cigarettes and having tea with his newly found independence. Vijay’s father Siddha ensured that Vijay had enough money.

As the days passed Vijay made a few close friends, mostly those who smoked. They introduced Vijay to classic rock music and Vijay fell in love with it. Soon he bought a guitar and the friends decided to start a rock group. There was a music room on the college campus where the kids used to practice music. There used to be a music show in the college every semester, when all the rock groups used to play one by one. Rock music was an integral part of the college culture.

Varanasi is a beautiful city of many colors, ‘The city of Shiv’. Shiv is the highest Hindu God. It is full of temples that pilgrims flock to, and is built on one side of the Ganges River. The river is considered holy, and one bath in this river is said to wipe out all the sins of your previous lives and current life. On the banks of the river many hermits stay and spend their time doing nothing. The river bank is divided into sections called Ghats, and each Ghat has its own temple. The temples have their associated stories. Some of these Ghats have cremation grounds as it is believed that if you die in Varanasi you get Moksha, the liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Varanasi is also called ‘Kashi’
